```bash
export AUTH_TOKENS_DB=""tokens""
datasette \
  -s settings.sql_time_limit_ms 1000 \
  -s plugins.datasette-auth-tokens.manage_tokens true \
  -e plugins.datasette-auth-tokens.manage_tokens_database AUTH_TOKENS_DB
```
So `-e` is an alternative version of `-s` which reads from the named environment variable instead of having the value provided directly as the second value in the pair.

I quite like this, because it could replace the really ugly `$ENV` pattern we have in plugin configuration at the moment:  https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a4/plugins.html#secret-configuration-values
```yaml
plugins:
  datasette-auth-github:
    client_secret:
      $env: GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
