I've checked, but only in PKGBUILD.

After installation, VCPKG_DISABLE_METRICS doesn't take effect instantly.

It adds a script into /etc/profile.d which only takes after a relog/login shell being invoked.

So it's better to execute

vcpkg.sh

when installing.

That will only affect the local shell - there's no sane way to "inject" that environment into (all) running processes (shells), but a re-login will do.

And very unlikely to happen.
If anything the binary could be shadowed w/ a script that sets the environment.
