I think the confusion is because they are *input* environment variables to
srun, so srun consumes them. It doesn't create them. I hadn't noticed this
until I search back from when I found them in the manual page and saw they
were listed as:
INPUT ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Some srun options may be set via environment variables. These environ‐
ment variables, along with their corresponding options, are listed
below. Note: Command line options will always override these settings.
Which is why they are set by sbatch/salloc but not directly inside of srun.
All the best!
