Note: module config --dump-state only lists the environment variables that are set. Unless there is another command that does this, maybe add a "module config -dump-state-all" that lists all the environment variables that could be set and the current assumed values (or better, or additionally, a -dump-state-unset to only list those that are not set).

May I recommend that the default value be listed right after the variable either like this: > MODULES_MCOOKIE_CHECK default_value: always > > or: > MODULES_MCOOKIE_CHECK > default_value: always > > > On 2022-01-14 12:41 AM, Xavier Delaruelle wrote: >> Hello All, >> >> Modules 5.1 work is ongoing.
