  20 /* Options:
  21    -
  22    -i
  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.
  27
  28    -u variable
  29    --unset=variable
  30         Unset variable VARIABLE (remove it from the environment).
  31         If VARIABLE was not set, does nothing.
  32
  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.
  37
  38    --
  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 "=".
  42
  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.
  47
  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".
  51
  52    Examples:
  53
  54    If the environment passed to "env" is
  55         { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks }
  56
  57    env - foo
  58         runs "foo" in a null environment.
  59
  60    env foo
  61         runs "foo" in the environment
  62         { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks }
  63
  64    env DISPLAY=gnu:0 nemacs
  65         runs "nemacs" in the envionment
  66         { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks DISPLAY=gnu:0 }
  67
  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.
  74
  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 }
