Settings and configuration (config mode)

Envprobe’s settings entry point is called the config mode, which is responsible for allowing you to tweak how Envprobe behaves.

If Envprobe is properly installed, the shell will have the envprobe-config command, and its shorthand alias, epc, defined. Calling epc automatically brings up the argument parser for config mode.

Attention

The list of available subcommands for a mode is generated in a context-sensitive fashion. This means that in case the current context does not allow the execution of an action, Envprobe will usually fail with an invalid choice error.

  • Obtaining the control commands (consume)
• Setting additional information for variables (set)
