FILTER API
----------
-- about filter::
- This filter is given no arguments.
- The about text that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
- filtered text is expected on standard output.
-- commit filter::
- This filter is given no arguments.
- The commit message text that is to be filtered is available on standard input
- and the filtered text is expected on standard output.
-- source filter::
- This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source file to
- filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for example) the syntax
- highlighting mode.
- The contents of the source file that is to be filtered is available on
- standard input and the filtered contents is expected on standard output.

+source filter::
+ This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source

Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
-- CGIT_REPO_URL ( = repo.url setting )
-- CGIT_REPO_NAME ( = repo.name setting )
-- CGIT_REPO_PATH ( = repo.path setting )
-- CGIT_REPO_OWNER ( = repo.owner setting )
-- CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH ( = repo.defbranch setting )
-- CGIT_REPO_SECTION ( = section setting )
-- CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL ( = repo.clone-url setting )
+
+- CGIT_REPO_URL (from repo.url)
+- CGIT_REPO_NAME (from repo.name)
+- CGIT_REPO_PATH (from repo.path)
+- CGIT_REPO_OWNER (from repo.owner)
+- CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH (from repo.defbranch)
+- CGIT_REPO_SECTION (from repo.section)
+- CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL (from repo.clone-url)
If a setting is not defined for a repository and the corresponding global
setting is also not defined (if applicable), then the corresponding
-environment variable will be an empty string.
+environment variable will be unset.

+MACRO EXPANSION
+---------------
+The following cgitrc options supports a simple macro expansion feature,
+where tokens prefixed with "$" are replaced with the value of a similary
+named environment variable:
+
+- cache-root
+- include
+- project-list
+- scan-path
+
+Macro expansion will also happen on the content of $CGIT_CONFIG, if
+defined.
+
+One usage of this feature is virtual hosting, which in its simplest form
+can be accomplished by adding the following line to /etc/cgitrc:
+
+ include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
+
+The following options are expanded during request processing, and support
+the environment variables defined in "FILTER API":
-Note that under normal circumstance all these environment variables are
-defined. If however the total size of the defined settings exceed the
-allocated buffer within cgit then only the environment variables that fit
-in the allocated buffer are handed to the filter.
+- clone-url
+- repo.clone-url
