envsubst1
Substitutes environment variables in shell format strings
Usage
envsubst [OPTION]
[SHELL-FORMAT]
Overview
Substitutes the values of environment variables.
Operation mode:
-
-v, --variables -
output the variables occurring in SHELL-FORMAT
Informative output:
-
-h, --help -
display this help and exit
-
-V, --version -
output version information and exit
In normal operation mode, standard input is copied to standard output, with references to environment variables of the form $VARIABLE or ${VARIABLE} being replaced with the corresponding values. If a SHELL-FORMAT is given, only those environment variables that are referenced in SHELL-FORMAT are substituted; otherwise all environment variables references occurring in standard input are substituted.
When --variables is used, standard input is ignored, and the output consists of the environment variables that are referenced in SHELL-FORMAT, one per line.
