1.1 ! root 1: ! 2: Elvis 1.4 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES Page 11-1 ! 3: ! 4: ! 5: E11. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLESF ! 6: ! 7: Elvis examines several environment variables when it starts up. ! 8: The values of these variables are used internally for a variety of ! 9: purposes. You don't need to define all of these; on most systems, ! 10: Elvis only requires TERM to be defined. On MS-DOS systems, even ! 11: that is optional. ! 12: ! 13: ! 14: E11.1 TERM, TERMCAPF ! 15: ! 16: TERM tells Elvis the name of the termcap entry to use. TERMCAP ! 17: may contain either the entire termcap entry, or the full pathname ! 18: of the termcap file to search through. ! 19: ! 20: ! 21: E11.2 TMP, TEMPF ! 22: ! 23: These only work for MS-DOS and Atari TOS. Either of these ! 24: variables may be used to set the "directory" option, which controls ! 25: where temporary files are stored. If you define them both, then ! 26: TMP is used, and TEMP is ignored. ! 27: ! 28: ! 29: E11.3 EXINITF ! 30: ! 31: This variable may contain a colon-mode command, which will be ! 32: executed after all of the ".exrc" files but before interactive ! 33: editing begins. ! 34: ! 35: ! 36: E11.4 SHELL, COMSPECF ! 37: ! 38: You can use COMSPEC in MS-DOS, or SHELL in any other system, to ! 39: specify which shell should be used for executing commands and ! 40: expanding wildcards. ! 41: ! 42: ! 43: E11.5 HOMEF ! 44: ! 45: This variable should give the full pathname of your home ! 46: directory. Elvis needs to know the name of your home directory so ! 47: it can locate the ".exrc" file there. ! 48: ! 49: ! 50: ! 51: ! 52: ! 53: ! 54: ! 55: ! 56: ! 57: ! 58: ! 59: ! 60: ! 61: ! 62: ! 63: ! 64: ! 65: ! 66:
