Argu- ments of the form are merged into the inherited environment before the command is executed. The option causes the inherited environment to be ignored completely so that the command is executed with exactly the environment specified by the arguments. The option is obsolete and has the same effect as the option. If no command is specified, the resulting environment is printed, one name-value pair per line. RETURN VALUE

See environ(5). International Code Set Support Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported. WARNING
