Common Issues

Error: Non-ASCII characters found in environment:

This error occurs when envz_strip detects non-ASCII characters in an environment variable. To resolve this, manually remove the non-ASCII characters or use a tool like iconv to convert the variable to ASCII.

envz_strip can be integrated with other commands to streamline tasks. For example, it can be piped into env -0 to pass the stripped environment to another command:

envz_strip | env -0 /path/to/command
