I never meant to imply that SSLKEYLOGFILE is a Wireshark environment variable.
I know the SSLKEYLOGFILE isn't a Wireshark environment variable, just as much
as I know that $HOME, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE% are not
Wireshark environment variables too, but only one of these isn't at least
mentioned in the man page.
The bottom line is that Wireshark relies on that environment variable for
certain functionality. I don't think it's too much to expect that if you want
your users to know how to do something with your tool that you supply them with
the relevant information to do so. I personally don't think it's better to
send users elsewhere to learn how to use the tool.
