If it’s not found, then it will return the default * value (`KEY=${KEY:-default}` If KEY exists it becomes * `{ KEY: "<KEY_VALUE_FROM_ENV>" }` If not, then it becomes * `{ KEY: "default" }`. Also there is possible to do this case * `KEY=${NO_SUCH_KEY:-${EXISTING_KEY:-default}}` which becomes * `{ KEY: "<EXISTING_KEY_VALUE_FROM_ENV>" }`) * * @module */
