+
+where DELIMITER is optional.  ':' will be used if DELIMITER is not given.
+
+For example, this command:

+
+will copy 'foo' to '.foo-real' and create the file 'foo' with the following
+contents:
+
+  #!location/of/bin/bash
+  export PATH=\"/nix/.../bar/bin\"
+  export CERT_PATH=\"$CERT_PATH${CERT_PATH:+:}/nix/.../baz/certs:/qux/certs\"
+  exec location/of/.foo-real

+programs that expect particular shared libraries to be in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or
+modules in $GUILE_LOAD_PATH, etc."
