+Some packages need to globally set an environment variable for all users. The +canonical way of doing this is via /etc/env.d. All files in this directory +are sourced when generating user environment settings. +

+ +

+This directory should only be used for setting environment variables. +

+ +

+To install a file into this directory, use doenvd or newenvd (see +`Install Functions Reference`_). The format of the file should be a series of +lines in the form VARIABLE="the value". +

+ +

+There is further discussion in the +Environment Variables section. +
