Function Documentation

void eval_close (  void   )

Cleanup local structures at shutdown time.

void eval_init (  void   )

Initialize string evaluation.

const gchar* eval_subst (  const gchar *  str  )

Needs brief description here. Substitutes variables from string: The leading "~" is replaced by the home directory. Variables like "$PATH" or "${PATH}" are replaced by their value, as fetched from the environment, or the empty string if not found. If given a NULL input, we return NULL. Returns: string atom, which is not meant to be freed until exit time.
