Creating a Custom softenv File
To specify an environment variable in the
/opt/softbench/config/softenv, $HOME/.softenv, or
$HOME/.softenv.hostname files, use
varname
=
value
, where
varname
is
the name of the environment variable and
value
is the desired value.
The format of a softenv file is similar to other shell command files (such
as .login) with the following exceptions:
Only environment variable assignments are supported.
Environment variables in the value part of an assignment are not
expanded. For example, if you have a statement such as:
PATH=/bin:$PATH
The $PATH is not expanded when PATH is assigned. softenv entries
strictly redefine environment variables.
White space can appear in a value without using quoted strings.
If you place quotes in a value, the quotes are retained in the value of
environment variable being set.
Line continuation (backslash followed by newline) is not supported.
