20 /* Options:
23 --ignore-environment
24 Construct a new environment from scratch; normally the
25 environment is inherited from the parent process, except as
26 modified by other options.
28 -u variable
29 --unset=variable
30 Unset variable VARIABLE (remove it from the environment).
31 If VARIABLE was not set, does nothing.
33 variable=value (an arg containing a "=" character)
34 Set the environment variable VARIABLE to value VALUE. VALUE
35 may be of zero length ("variable="). Setting a variable to a
36 zero-length value is different from unsetting it.
39 Indicate that the following argument is the program
40 to invoke. This is necessary when the program's name
41 begins with "-" or contains a "=".
43 The first remaining argument specifies a program to invoke;
44 it is searched for according to the specification of the PATH
45 environment variable. Any arguments following that are
46 passed as arguments to that program.
48 If no command name is specified following the environment
49 specifications, the resulting environment is printed.
50 This is like specifying a command name of "printenv".
52 Examples:
54 If the environment passed to "env" is
55 { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks }
57 env - foo
58 runs "foo" in a null environment.
60 env foo
61 runs "foo" in the environment
62 { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks }
64 env DISPLAY=gnu:0 nemacs
65 runs "nemacs" in the envionment
66 { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks DISPLAY=gnu:0 }
68 env - LOGNAME=foo /hacks/hack bar baz
69 runs the "hack" program on arguments "bar" and "baz" in an
70 environment in which the only variable is "LOGNAME". Note that
71 the "-" option clears out the PATH variable, so one should be
72 careful to specify in which directory to find the program to
73 call.
75 env -u EDITOR LOGNAME=foo PATH=/energy -- e=mc2 bar baz
76 runs the program "/energy/e=mc2" with environment
77 { LOGNAME=foo PATH=/energy }
