+# envdir
+
+A Go clone of the [daemontools](https://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) `envdir`
+program.
+
+## Install
+
+```
+go install sneak.berlin/go/envdir@latest
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+envdir dir child [args...]
+```
+
+`envdir` sets various environment variables as specified by files in `dir`,
+then runs `child` with the given arguments.
+
+If `dir` contains a file named `FOO` whose first line is `bar`, `envdir`
+sets the environment variable `FOO` to `bar`, then runs `child`.
+
+### Rules
+
+- Each file in `dir` corresponds to one environment variable. The filename
+  is the variable name and the first line of the file is the value.
+- If a file is empty, the corresponding variable is **unset**.
+- NUL bytes (`\0`) in file contents are replaced with newlines.
+- Trailing spaces and tabs are stripped from the value.
+- Lines after the first newline are ignored.
+- Subdirectories and files with `=` in the name are skipped.
+- Exit code is **111** if `envdir` encounters an error.
+
+## Example
+
+```
+$ mkdir /tmp/env
+$ echo -n "production" > /tmp/env/APP_ENV
+$ echo -n "localhost:5432" > /tmp/env/DB_HOST
+$ envdir /tmp/env printenv APP_ENV
+production
+```
