It therefore provides a way to share them in cases where exporting to child processes is not feasible. . Included is envify, a shell script which loads the environment saved with envstore and then executes the command given to it. . A classic use case is MPD_HOST for clients of the Music Player Daemon. Commands to control the MPD would be wrapped with envify. If the MPD_HOST were then changed in envstore, it would automatically be used.
