kitten-@-env - Change environment variables seen by future
children
kitten @ env env_var1=val env_var2=val ... |
|
Change the environment variables that will be seen in newly
launched windows. Similar to the env option in kitty.conf, but
affects running kitty instances. If no = is present, the variable is removed
from the environment.
- --to
- An address for the kitty instance to control. Corresponds to the address
given to the kitty instance via the --listen-on option or the
listen_on setting in kitty.conf. If not specified, the
environment variable KITTY_LISTEN_ON is checked. If that is also
not found, messages are sent to the controlling terminal for this process,
i.e. they will only work if this process is run within a kitty
window.
- --password
- A password to use when contacting kitty. This will cause kitty to ask the
user for permission to perform the specified action, unless the password
has been accepted before or is pre-configured in kitty.conf.
- --password-file
[=rc-pass]
- A file from which to read the password. Trailing whitespace is ignored.
Relative paths are resolved from the kitty configuration directory. Use -
to read from STDIN. Used if no --password is supplied. Defaults to
checking for the rc-pass file in the kitty configuration
directory.
- --password-env
[=KITTY_RC_PASSWORD]
- The name of an environment variable to read the password from. Used if no
--password-file is supplied. Defaults to checking the environment
variable KITTY_RC_PASSWORD.
- --use-password
[=if-available]
- If no password is available, kitty will usually just send the remote
control command without a password. This option can be used to force it to
always or never use the supplied password.
Choices: if-available, always, never
