ini

NAME

SYNOPSIS

edrc/lib/ini.(bash|ksh|sh|csh) ( [ -h ] | -l | application )

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

Each shell has its own ini.shell binary to initialize the environment based on the definitions.

So it is not necessary to use different syntax for different shells, this is done by the ini.shell command.

Interactive usage

The interactive ini command is a shell alias pointing to the relating ini.shell command.

The alias in the ksh shell therefore calls the ini.ksh command, a C-shell would call the ini.csh command.

Script usage

To use the ini mechanism in a script, invoke the ini.shell command and process the output:

Bourne-Shell using a temporary file and source it:

  ini.sh myApplication > /tmp/env.$$
  . /tmp/env.$$

Korn-Shell using a temporary file and source it:

  ini.ksh myApplication > /tmp/env.$$
  . /tmp/env.$$

Bourne-Again-Shell using a temporary file and source it:

  ini.bash myApplication > /tmp/env.$$
  . /tmp/env.$$

C-Shell using a temporary file and source it:

  ini.csh myApplication > /tmp/env.$$
  source /tmp/env.$$

Bourne-Shell using eval:

  eval `ini.sh myApplication`

Korn-Shell using eval:

  eval `ini.ksh myApplication`

Bourne-Again-Shell using eval:

  eval `ini.bash myApplication`

C-Shell using eval:

  eval `ini.csh myApplication`
