milpa help docs milpa util shell

The shell util contains shell functions useful for programs that output commands to be evaluated by a user's shell.

These functions are compatible with shells whose name ends in "sh" and are POSIX-compliant, and, the fish shell.

@milpa.shell.export NAME VALUE

Prints a command, that when evaluated by a user's shell, will set an environment variable on the current process, much like POSIX's export builtin.

@milpa.shell.export DIRECTORY [VARIABLE]

Prints a command, that when evaluated by a user's shell, will append the DIRECTORY to VARIABLE (by default, PATH).

@milpa.shell.export DIRECTORY [VARIABLE]

Prints a command, that when evaluated by a user's shell, will prepend the DIRECTORY to VARIABLE (by default, PATH).
