Only environment variables are propagated to child processes.
Thanks for the info, but do you happen to know what the actual mechanism that the child processes is able to "import" the exported variable ? Ie.. is it some special OS glue/magic, or is it just straight getenv() calls by the client shell/app ? I don't see anything magical in the man page for getenv() that would distinguish an exported versus non-exported variable.
