Naming environment variables

[Siddhesh Divekar]

Hi,

What is the convention to name an environment variable if the program is going to set it and use it.

I have seen both ABC_DEF & AbcDef forms of it.

Do you mean the name used for the environment variable, or the name
used in the Go program?

Most environment variables use names in all caps with underscores, so ABC_DEF.

Most Go variables use mixed caps, so AbcDef.
