How do i set environment variable
Hi,
I am quite new to Linux. And I have doubt how to set new environment variable with value to a C executable.
Let say I have a environment variable $Hack ;
I would like to load a value for this variable; so that when the C executable is executed, the $Hack would set the variable value.
Please advise. THanks.

KENV(1) BSD General Commands Manual KENV(1)
NAME
kenv -- dump or modify the kernel environment
SYNOPSIS
kenv [-hNq]
kenv [-qv] variable[=value]
kenv [-q] -u variable
DESCRIPTION
The kenv utility will dump the kernel environment if invoked without arguments. If the -h option is specified, it will limit the report to
kernel probe hints. If an optional variable name is specified, kenv will only report that value. If the -N option is specified, kenv will
only display variable names and not their values. If the -u option is specified, kenv will delete the given environment variable. If the
environment variable is followed by an optional value, kenv will set the environment variable to this value.
If the -q option is set, warnings normally printed as a result of being unable to perform the requested operation will be suppressed.
If the -v option is set, the variable name will be printed out for the environment variable in addition to the value when kenv is executed
with a variable name.
Variables can be added to the kernel environment using the /boot/loader.conf file, or also statically compiled into the kernel using the
statement
env filename
in the kernel config file. The file can contain lines of the form
name = value # this is a comment
where whitespace around name and '=', and everything after a '#' character, are ignored. Almost any printable character except '=' is
acceptable as part of a name. Quotes are optional and necessary only if the value contains whitespace.

HISTORY
The kenv utility appeared in FreeBSD 4.1.1.
