Checks your linux architecture. Code taken from rustup installation script, and emits an arch code that corresponds to what rustc expects. Useful for checing cross compilation arch.

# The version of ksh93 that ships with many illumos systems does not

# subtle ways later on:

Re-key all the embedded vaults in an Ansible vars file.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# derived from https://stackoverflow.com/a/67161907/277767
# Changes to the StackOverflow version:
# * delete temporary files that contain vaults!
# * prompt for passwords instead of passing them as program argument
# * more precise vault replacement
# * a bit nicer error messages that points at the line where re-keying failed
# * decryption if no password is provided

inherit environment variables from PID 1

You can inherit the environment variables from PID 1 by iterating over the list of null-terminated strings in /proc/1/environ, parsing the first characters up to the first = as the variable name, setting the remaining value as that variable, and exporting it.

The Code Snippet

This works with multiline environment variables, and environment variables with arbitrary values, like strings, including = or JSON blobs.

Paste this in your current terminal session to inherit the environment variables from PID 1:
