     things, for bootstrapping libdislocator.so.
 
+  - Setting `AFL_TARGET_ENV` causes AFL++ to set extra environment variables
+    for the target binary. Example: `AFL_TARGET_ENV="VAR1=1 VAR2='a b c'" afl-fuzz ... `
+    This exists mostly for things like `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` but it would theoretically

+    would disrupt work of 'fuzzer' AFL++).

   - Setting `AFL_NO_UI` inhibits the UI altogether, and just periodically prints
     some basic stats. This behavior is also automatically triggered when the
     output from afl-fuzz is redirected to a file or to a pipe.
