The environment variable name ( env_var_name ) parameter is a string that must match a POSIX_NAME regexp (for example, there can be no spaces or special characters). The env_var_name parameter is a more meaningful parameter type that enables additional checks to be performed. See Using Environment Variables for details.
However, when I check the “Using Environment Variables” link, there isn’t a single mention of env_var_name.
Is there anywhere where using env_var_name is described in any more detail?
Hi Katy! I guess I was just looking for a more thorough explanation and usage examples, since I tried using it once and couldn’t quite figure out how it worked. I can’t recall exactly what my use case was but I probably found a workaround since it’s not blocking me anymore.
I’m glad it’s not blocking you anymore. I didn’t find any other detailed docs on it either, so I send it to the docs team. Thank you for helping us improve the docs!
