#### No argument

Standard dotenv resolution mechanism, e.g., takes a .env file if available.

Example input:

`plain
./secrets/.env
`

Example call:

`sh
piral build --env .env.prod
`

#### Name

Uses a file {name}.env or .env.{name} as input for dotenv.

Example input:

`plain
prod
`

Example call:

`sh
piral build --env prod
`

`

Yes.

Yes. Some variables are special (e.g., NODE_ENV) and will be set by the piral-cli` anyway. This plugin focuses on non-special variables.
