env_perm 0.1.3

Sets environment variables in your profile
Documentation
//! This crate allows you to permanently set environment variables
//!
//! # Examples
//! ```rust
//! // Check if DUMMY is set, if not set it to 1
//! // export DUMMY=1
//! env_perm::check_or_set("DUMMY", 1).expect("Failed to find or set DUMMY");
//! // Append $HOME/some/cool/bin to $PATH
//! // export PATH= "$HOME/some/cool/bin:$PATH"
//! env_perm::append("PATH", "$HOME/some/cool/bin").expect("Couldn't find PATH");
//! // Sets a variable without checking if it exists.
//! // Note you need to use a raw string literal to include ""
//! // export DUMMY="/something"
//! env_perm::set("DUMMY", r#""/something""#).expect("Failed to set DUMMY");
//! ```
