Environmental Variables inside a container

["Devendra K. Modium" <dmodium@xxxxxxx>]

Hi All

I am trying to pass an environmental flag to the
LXC container when it is started.I found libvirt_lxc is
already doing it  in lxc_container.c as shown below


static virCommandPtr lxcContainerBuildInitCmd(virDomainDefPtr vmDef)
{
    char uuidstr[VIR_UUID_STRING_BUFLEN];
    virCommandPtr cmd;

    virUUIDFormat(vmDef->uuid, uuidstr);

    cmd = virCommandNew(vmDef->os.init);

    virCommandAddEnvString(cmd, "PATH=/bin:/sbin");
    virCommandAddEnvString(cmd, "TERM=linux-deva");
    virCommandAddEnvPair(cmd, "LIBVIRT_LXC_UUID", uuidstr);
    virCommandAddEnvPair(cmd, "LIBVIRT_LXC_NAME", vmDef->name);

    return cmd;
}


But only
TERM flag is getting visible inside the container not remaining.

Does it depends on how /sbin/init is receiving them? Is /sbin/init 
only recognizing TERM flag.
If so what is intention of sending remaining flags in current libvirt.

Please let me know if there is any elegant way to send environmental
variable to container.

Thanks for your time.

Regards
Devendra
