environment variables
The behavior of checkbox is affected by the following
environment variables.
The locale for category LC_foo is specified by
examining the three environment variables LC_ALL,
LC_foo, LANG, in that order. The first of
these variables that is set specifies the locale. For example, if
LC_ALL is not set, but LC_MESSAGES is set to
pt_BR, then the Brazilian Portuguese locale is used for
the LC_MESSAGES category. The C locale is used if none of
these environment variables are set, if the locale catalog is not
installed.
CHECKBOX_OPTIONS
This variable specifies default options to be placed in front of
any explicit options. For example, if CHECKBOX_OPTIONS is
’--log-level=debug’, checkbox behaves as if the
option had been specified before any explicit options. Option
specifications are separated by whitespace. A backslash escapes
the next character, so it can be used to specify an option
containing whitespace or a backslash.
CHECKBOX_DATA
Specifies the directory containing variable data such as
persisting state for example. Some plugins in checkbox
might also choose to store their own data under that directory.
CHECKBOX_SHARE
This variable specifies the directory containing shared files
such as plugins and jobs for example. It might also contain
static files used by plugins such as data files and scripts.
