Shell-independent handling of environment variables
historique
envv is a small C utility for generating shell-specific commands that set environment variables and edit colon-separated paths. Its niche is old-school Unix software setup: one script can be sourced by users of csh, tcsh, bash, sh, ksh, and zsh without hard-coding separate initialization logic for each shell.
The README traces envv back to David F. Skoll of Roaring Penguin Software, with version 1.0 dated February 8, 1994. Early releases added zsh recognition, a `choose` directive, local variables, stdin directives, and fixes around path comparison and environment persistence.
The GitHub-hosted copy records a later 2011 license change to MIT and a segmentation fault fix, but otherwise presents envv as a deliberately small utility: build with `make`, copy the `envv` executable into a system directory, and consult the bundled `envv.1` manual page.
envv never became a broad ecosystem package, but its continued packaging in Homebrew keeps a 1990s Unix environment-management tool installable on modern developer machines. The README's example is aimed at commercial or site-local software that needs PATH entries and home variables set consistently for many user shells.
A typical envv setup script evaluates commands such as `envv add PATH /usr/local/foobar/bin` and `envv set FOOHOME /usr/local/foobar`. Users source that script from their preferred shell, allowing system-wide software moves without each user editing `.cshrc`, `.profile`, or similar files by hand.
envv is interesting as a compact survivor from the era when Unix shops had to support several interactive shells at once. For package-manager history, it is a reminder that environment setup before modules, direnv, and modern shell frameworks often meant tiny C tools that printed shell code.
