##### 8.5.4.21 Partition Attribute Environment_Variables

The attribute Environment_Variables allows the user to specify a list of environment variables that should be passed from the main partition to slave partitions when using a generated (shell or Ada) launcher.

This attribute can be applied to all partitions by defining it for the predefined type Partition, or to a specific partition. Note that in the latter case, the list does not replace the default one but instead complements it (i.e. variables specified for Partition are passed in addition to the partition specific ones).

Use of this features requires that remote nodes provide the POSIX env(1) command.

         REPRESENTATION_CLAUSE ::=
