3.2. Environment variables used by Hugs

(Windows only) If this variable is set, Hugs is assumed to be running in an Emacs subshell (with different line termination conventions on input).

The user's home directory. This is substituted for {Home} in the argument of the -P option (see Section 3.1.2), and for "~" in the argument of the :cd command (see Section 2.4).

Additional options for Hugs, processed before any given on the command line (see Section 3.1). The following example assumes a shell compatible with the Unix Bourne shell:

HUGSFLAGS='+k -E"vi +%d"'
export HUGSFLAGS

The Hugs library directory. This is substituted for {Hugs} in the argument of the -P option (see Section 3.1.2). This directory should also contain an include subdirectory, which ffihugs will search for include files, particularly HsFFI.h (see Section 4.2).

(Windows only) If this variable is set, options are not read from the user portion of the Registry (see Section 3.1). You might use this to recover if your registry settings get messed up somehow.

The locale used for external representation of Haskell Char values (see Section 3.3).

The shell that is invoked by the :! command (see Section 2.4).
