Dear Simon,
In message 20211018121315.v8.4.Ie78bfbfca0d01d9cba501e127f446ec48e1f7afe@changeid you wrote:
The environment variables should be of the form "var=value". Values can extend to multiple lines. See the README under 'Environment Variables:' for more information and an example. Note that environment variables may not end in +
This makes not really clear that the restriction is on the name (and not the value) of the environment variable.
but can start with other strange characters, including underscore, comma and slash.
I would omit this as it does not provide any relevant information here, and in addition it is misleading as it could be interpreted that such characters are only legal at the start of the variable name. But you can do:
=> setenv .-^-. foo => printenv .-^-. .-^-.=foo
Best regards,
