Greetings,
For the info program, it would be useful to have some "INFOKEY_FILE"
environment variable that
behaves similar to the '--init-file` option, so the configuration is read when
info is
launched from environments in which argv cannot be supplied or modified; for
example, when
other programs exec info using functions from the exec family. Because I prefer
to keep my home directly
clean by putting config in "$HOME/.config", having a way to set the file
manually (just
like $MOST_INITFILE, $INPUTRC, $SCREENRC, etc.), really helps. I really don't
care what the
env var is named - just that it works. Thoughts?
Regards,
Edwin
