NAME
     envsubst - substitutes environment variables in shell format 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 substituted.

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