Environment variables
Some behaviors of Electron are controlled by environment variables, because they are initialized earlier than command line and the app's code.
Examples on POSIX shells:
$ export ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true
$ electron
on Windows console:
> set ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true
> electron
