ENV(1)                                                                  ENV(1)


NAME
     env, printenv - set environment for command execution, print environment

SYNOPSIS
     env [-i] [-] [ name=value ... ] [ command args ]
     printenv [ name ]

DESCRIPTION
     Env obtains the current environment, modifies it according to its
     arguments, then executes the command with the modified environment.
     Arguments of the form name=value are merged into the inherited
     environment before the command is executed.

     If no command is specified, the resulting environment is printed, one
     name-value pair per line.

     Printenv prints out the names and values of the variables in the
     environment, with one name/value pair per line.  If name is specified,
     only its value is printed.  If name is not defined in the environment,
     printenv returns exit status 1, else it returns status 0.

OPTIONS
     -i   Invoke command with exactly the environment specified by the
          arguments; the inherited environment will be ignored ocmpletely.

     -    Obsolescent form of -i.

SEE ALSO
     csh(1), sh(1), exec(2), profile(4), environ(5)

BUGS
     Env doesn't handle commands with equal (``='') signs in their names, for
     obvious reasons.
