env(1)                                                     env(1)



     NAME
          env - set environment for command execution

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

     DESCRIPTION
          env obtains the current environment, modifies it according
          to its arguments, then executes command with the modified
          environment.  Arguments of the form name=value are merged
          into the inherited environment before the command is
          executed.  The - flag option 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.

     EXAMPLE
               env XYZ=pdq sh

          sets the environment name XYZ to the value pdq for the
          duration of the command, which here is a new shell, sh.
