|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility prints out the names and values of the variables in the environment,
|
|
with one name/value pair per line.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
is specified, only
|
|
its value is printed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some shells may provide a builtin
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command which is similar or identical to this utility.
|
|
Consult the
|
|
.Xr builtin 1
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm env
|
|
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.
|
|
.It Fl
|
|
Identical to the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
option, available for backward compatibility.
|
|
.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 DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Ex -std printenv
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.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.
