DESCRIPTION
-----------
cdist-env outputs two strings suitable for usage in your current shell,
so you can use cdist from the checkout. You can evaluate those strings
and make directory usage of them.
so you can use cdist from the checkout. cdist-env essentially helps you
to easily setup PATH and MANPATH.
If you've multiple checkouts of cdist and run cdist-env from the various
checkouts, a new run will prepend the last directory, thus ensures you
can run it multiple times and does what one expects.
EXAMPLES
--------
For use in bourne shell variants (like dash, bash, ksh) as well as
in csh variants (csh, tcsh):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
eval `~/cdist/bin/cdist-env`
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace ~/cdist with the checkout directory of cdist.
