Split the env(1) manpage off from printenv(1); there is not much point

in keeping them together. Mention that printenv is obsolescent.

.Sh NAME
.Nm env
.Nd set and print environment
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl i
.Op Ar name Ns = Ns Ar value ...
.Op Ar utility Op Ar argument ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility executes
.Ar utility
after modifying the environment as
specified on the command line.
The option
.Ar name Ns = Ns Ar value
specifies
an environment variable,
.Ar name ,
with a value of
.Ar value .
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl i
Execute the
.Ar utility
with only those environment values specified.
The environment inherited
by
.Nm env
is ignored completely.
.El
.Pp
If no utility is specified,
.Nm env
prints out the names and values
of the variables in the environment, with one name/value pair per line.
.Pp
The
.Nm env
utility is sometimes useful with the
.Dq Li #!
construct (see
.Xr execve 2 ) .
The only difference between
.Dq Li #!/usr/local/bin/foo
and
.Dq Li "#!/usr/bin/env\ /usr/local/bin/foo"
is that the latter works even if
.Pa /usr/local/bin/foo
is itself interpreted.
Using
.Nm env
this way also allows one to reference
.Pa foo
without the path,
as well as set up the environment as desired.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The
.Nm env
utility uses the
.Ev PATH
environment variable is used to locate the requested
.Ar utility
if the name contains no
.Ql /
characters.
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
.Ex -std env
An exit status of 126 indicates
.Ar utility
was found, but could not be executed.
An exit status of 127 indicates
.Ar utility
could not be found.
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
The
.Nm env
utility accepts the
.Fl
option as a synonym for
.Fl i .

The

utility doesn't handle utility arguments with equal (``='') signs in their
names, for obvious reasons.
