NAME

       envsubst - substitutes environment variables in shell for-
       mat strings

SYNOPSIS

       envsubst [OPTION] [SHELL-FORMAT]

DESCRIPTION

       Substitutes the values of environment variables.

   Operation mode:
       -v, --variables
              output the variables occurring in SHELL-FORMAT

   Informative output:
       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -V, --version
              output version information and exit

       In normal operation mode,  standard  input  is  copied  to
       standard  output, with references to environment variables
       of the form $VARIABLE or ${VARIABLE} being  replaced  with
       the  corresponding  values.   If  a SHELL-FORMAT is given,
       only those environment variables that  are  referenced  in
       SHELL-FORMAT  are  substituted;  otherwise all environment
       variables references occurring in standard input are  sub-
       stituted.

       When  --variables  is used, standard input is ignored, and
       the output consists of the environment variables that  are
       referenced in SHELL-FORMAT, one per line.
