ICEWM-ENV(5)

  NAME
 icewm-env - icewm environment configuration file

  SYNOPSIS
 $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/env
 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/env
 $HOME/.icewm/env
 /etc/X11/icewm/env
 /usr/share/icewm/env

  DESCRIPTION
icewm-session(1) loads additional environment variables from the file env before it does anything else. These variables are then propagated to all other processes, including icewm(1), via their environment.

  FORMAT
Each line is subjected to POSIX shell expansion by wordexp(3). Comment lines starting by a hash-sign ("#") are ignored. icewm-session(1) will load those expanded lines that contain a name, followed by an equals sign, followed by the value (which may be empty).

The word unset begins a line with names to be removed from the environment.

  EXAMPLES
 # This is a comment.
 # And another.

 XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="ICEWM"
