Module environment

Module environment 

Source
Expand description

The environment of the programs artifactize starts: the person’s own, as their terminal or desktop session gave it to artifactize.

Only an app started from an AppImage runs with more. The bundle’s AppRun and its hooks put the bundle’s directories first in path lists such as PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and set variables of their own; the app needs them to load its bundled libraries, while a system program it starts would load those libraries instead of its own and fail. Everywhere else this is the process environment unchanged.

Functions§

user
This process’s environment as the person using artifactize has it, for a program it starts.
var
One variable of user; None when it is unset there. Names compare as this system compares them.
