8   SYNOPSIS
9        $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/env
10        $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/env
11        $HOME/.icewm/env
12        /etc/icewm/env

15   DESCRIPTION
16       icewm-session(1) loads additional environment variables from the file
17       env before it does anything else. These variables are then propagated
18       to all other processes, including icewm(1), via their environment.
19
20   FORMAT
21       Each line is subjected to POSIX shell expansion by wordexp(3).  Comment
22       lines starting by a hash-sign ("#") are ignored.  icewm-session(1) will
23       load those expanded lines that contain a name, followed by an equals
24       sign, followed by the value (which may be empty).
25
26       The word unset begins a line with names to be removed from the
27       environment.
