Environment variables
=====================

`Environment variables <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable>`_
are a set of dynamic named values that can affect the way running processes
will behave on a computer.

*PlatformIO* handles variables which start with ``PLATFORMIO_`` prefix. They
have the **HIGHEST PRIORITY**.

operations/commands.

.. envvar:: CI

`Continuous Integration <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration>`_
