Elvis 1.4 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES Page 11-1
E11. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLESF
Elvis examines several environment variables when it starts up.
The values of these variables are used internally for a variety of
purposes. You don't need to define all of these; on most systems,
Elvis only requires TERM to be defined. On MS-DOS systems, even
that is optional.
E11.1 TERM, TERMCAPF
TERM tells Elvis the name of the termcap entry to use. TERMCAP
may contain either the entire termcap entry, or the full pathname
of the termcap file to search through.
E11.2 TMP, TEMPF
These only work for MS-DOS and Atari TOS. Either of these
variables may be used to set the "directory" option, which controls
where temporary files are stored. If you define them both, then
TMP is used, and TEMP is ignored.
E11.3 EXINITF
This variable may contain a colon-mode command, which will be
executed after all of the ".exrc" files but before interactive
editing begins.
E11.4 SHELL, COMSPECF
You can use COMSPEC in MS-DOS, or SHELL in any other system, to
specify which shell should be used for executing commands and
expanding wildcards.
E11.5 HOMEF
This variable should give the full pathname of your home
directory. Elvis needs to know the name of your home directory so
it can locate the ".exrc" file there.
