environment.variables

A set of environment variables used in the global environment. These variables will be set on shell initialisation (e.g. in /etc/profile).

The value of each variable can be either a string or a list of strings. The latter is concatenated, interspersed with colon characters.

Setting a variable to null does nothing. You can override a variable set by another module to null to unset it.
