#1401 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Description (last modified by amontero)

Tahoe could use some environment variables for some of the settings that normally get passed on command line.

Specifically, specifying the --node-directory would be useful if you're doing a lot of work on a node that is not in ~/.tahoe so you don't have to include it in every command. Also, if you're trying to use the duplicity backend, which doesn't seem to let you pass options to tahoe, There is currently no way to make it work on a node that isn't in ~/.tahoe, and this should make that possible.

$ $TAHOE ...
