+.IP "APPDATA <dir>"
+On Windows, this variable is used when trying to find the home directory. If

+.IP "COLUMNS <terminal width>"
+If set, the specified number of characters will be used as the terminal width

+If set, will be used as the \fI--cacert\fP value.
+.IP "CURL_HOME <dir>"
+If set, is the first variable curl checks when trying to find its home

+.IP "HOME <dir>"
+If set, this is used to find the home directory when that is needed. Like when

 .IP "QLOGDIR <directory name>"
 If curl was built with HTTP/3 support, setting this environment variable to a
 local directory will make curl produce qlogs in that directory, using file
 names named after the destination connection id (in hex). Do note that these
 files can become rather large. Works with both QUIC backends.

 .IP "SSLKEYLOGFILE <file name>"
 If you set this environment variable to a file name, curl will store TLS
 secrets from its connections in that file when invoked to enable you to
 analyze the TLS traffic in real time using network analyzing tools such as
 Wireshark. This works with the following TLS backends: OpenSSL, libressl,
 BoringSSL, GnuTLS, NSS and wolfSSL.

+On Windows, this variable is used when trying to find the home directory. If

+If \fBCURL_HOME\fP is not set, this variable is checked when looking for a
+default .curlrc file.
 .SH "PROXY PROTOCOL PREFIXES"
 The proxy string may be specified with a protocol:// prefix to specify
 alternative proxy protocols. (Added in 7.21.7)
