1. NAME▲

envsubst - substitutes environment variables in shell format strings

2. SYNOPSIS ▲

envsubst [OPTION] [SHELL-FORMAT]

3. DESCRIPTION ▲

Substitutes the values of environment variables.

3.1. Operation mode: ▲

  • -v, --variables
        output the variables occurring in SHELL-FORMAT

3.2. 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.
