env(1)							      General Commands Manual							    env(1)

Name
       env - set environment for command execution

Syntax
       env [-] [ name=value ] ...  [ command args ]

Description
       The  command  obtains the current environment, modifies it according to its arguments, then executes the command with the modified environ-
       ment.  Arguments of the form name=value are merged into the inherited environment before the command is executed.  The -  flag  causes  the
       inherited environment to be ignored completely, so that the command is executed with exactly the environment specified by the arguments.

       If no command is specified, the resulting environment is printed, one name-value pair per line.

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
