ENV(1) BSD General Commands Manual ENV(1)NAME
env -- set and print environment
SYNOPSIS
env [-i] [name=value ...] [utility [argument ...]]
DESCRIPTION
env executes utility after modifying the environment as specified on the command line. The option name=value specifies an environmental
variable, name, with a value of value. The option '-i' causes env to completely ignore the environment it inherits.
If no utility is specified, env prints out the names and values of the variables in the environment, with one name=value pair per line.
DIAGNOSTICS
If the utility is invoked, the exit status of env shall be the exit status of utility; otherwise, the env utility exits with one of the fol-
lowing values:
0 The env utility completed successfully
1-125 An error occurred in the env utility.
126 The utility specified by utility was found, but could not be invoked.
127 The utility specified by utility could not be found.
COMPATIBILITY
The historic - option has been deprecated but is still supported in this implementation.
SEE ALSO execvp(3), environ(7)STANDARDS
The env utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').
BUGS
env doesn't handle commands with equal (``='') signs in their names, for obvious reasons.

Hi!
This is my first post here - regards!
I wrote gawk script with the first line:
#!/usr/bin/env gawk -f
but it does not work. Why?
Probably env is trying to exec "gawk -f" instead of "gawk".
I am also using env to start wish and there are no problems.

Hi all,

As you can see this simply finds files from a given path and runs cksum on them.
