NAME

     envstore — save and restore environment variables

SYNOPSIS

     envstore command [args ...]

DESCRIPTION

     envstore can save and restore environment variables, thus transferring them between
     different shells.

     command must be one of

     clear
         Forget all stored variables

     eval
         Produce shell code for evaluation, restoring all saved variables

     list
         List saved variables in better readable format

     save variable [value]
         Save variable either with its current shell value or with value

     rm variable
         Remove variable from store

     Note: Only the first character of command is checked, so envstore e instead of envstore
     eval, envstore c for envstore clear, etc., are also valid.

     For convenience, the options --version and --help are also supported.

ENVIRONMENT

     ENVSTORE_FILE  The file in which the environment parameters are stored, /tmp/envstore-EUID
                    by default,

LIMITATIONS

     Variable names or values must not contain null bytes or newlines.

     Due to limitations imposed by most shells, it is not possible to save parameters containing
     more than one consecutive whitespace.  envstore will save and display them correctly, but
     unless you do IFS trickery, your shell will not be able to load them.

     The current maximum length (in bytes) is 255 bytes for the variable name and 1023 bytes for
     its content.
