+Usage: init_vars <command> [options]

+Commands:
+	show        - Show all environment variables in sourceable format
+	help        - Show this help message
+
+Examples:
+	# Initialize environment variables without display
+	init_vars
+
+	# Show all environment variables
+	init_vars show
+
+	# Source variables directly into current shell
+	. <(init_vars show)
+
+	# Evaluate variables in current shell
+	eval "\$(init_vars show)"
+
+	# Show help
+	init_vars help
+
+Notes:
+	- When sourced (not run directly), variables are set but not displayed
+	- Includes all variables from /etc/os-release and /etc/armbian-release
+	- Intended for use with the config-v2 menu and scripting
