Can I use environment variables for defining exclusions in Linux for Elements Linux Protection or Linux Security 64?

Issue:

Can I use environment variables for defining exclusions in Linux for Elements Linux Protection or Linux Security 64?

Example: $HOME/build

Resolution:

Environment values are not supported in exclusions nor in any settings in Linux. Wildcards can be used for on-access scanning exclusions for Elements Linux Protection and Linux Security 64.

To use the example above, /home/*/build would be nearly equivalent to the example provided.
