#### Representing boolean values

Boolean values for options are specified as strings and interpreted as:
| Value | Boolean |
| :---: | :---: |
| *empty string* | False |
| `0` | False |
| `1` | True |
| *anything else* | True |

E.g. `opt1=1` will set option `opt1` to True.

Boolean options configured with environment variables:
- Set to `1` or non-empty value to save executed scripts; empty or `0` to disable saving.
  e.g. `export MDE_SAVE_EXECUTED_SCRIPT=1`
  e.g. `export MDE_SAVE_EXECUTED_SCRIPT=`
- Specify variable on command line.
  e.g. `MDE_SAVE_EXECUTED_SCRIPT=1 mde`
