<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>environment.d</filename> directories contain a list of "global" environment
variable assignments for the user environment.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-environment-d-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
parses them and updates the environment exported by the systemd user instance to the services it
starts.</para>
<para>It is recommended to use numerical prefixes for file names to simplify ordering.</para>
<para>For backwards compatibility, a symlink to <filename>/etc/environment</filename> is
installed, so this file is also parsed.</para>

<title>Configuration Format</title>
<para>The configuration files contain a list of
<literal><replaceable>KEY</replaceable>=<replaceable>VALUE</replaceable></literal> environment
variable assignments, separated by newlines. The right hand side of these assignments may
reference previously defined environment variables, using the <literal>${OTHER_KEY}</literal>
and <literal>$OTHER_KEY</literal> format. It is also possible to use
<literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>:-<replaceable>DEFAULT_VALUE</replaceable>}</literal>
to expand in the same way as <literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>}</literal> unless the
expansion would be empty, in which case it expands to <replaceable>DEFAULT_VALUE</replaceable>,
and use
<literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>:+<replaceable>ALTERNATE_VALUE</replaceable>}</literal>
to expand to <replaceable>ALTERNATE_VALUE</replaceable> as long as
<literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>}</literal> would have expanded to a non-empty value.
No other elements of shell syntax are supported.</para>
<para>Each <replaceable>KEY</replaceable> must be a valid variable name. Empty lines
and lines beginning with the comment character <literal>#</literal> are ignored.</para>
