envsubst − substitutes environment variables in shell format strings
envsubst [OPTION] [SHELL-FORMAT]
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.
