     NAME
          printenv - print the current environment

     SYNOPSIS
          printenv [argument]

     DESCRIPTION
          printenv takes an environment variable name as an argument
          and prints only the value of that variable.  If no argument
          is given, it prints the values for the entire environment.

          Examples of environment variable names are:

          HOME       pathname of user's home directory.

          SHELL      the shell present at login.

          TERM       type of terminal used.

          LOGNAME    the login name of the user.

          TERMCAP    terminal capabilities string.

          EXINIT     a startup list of commands read by ex, edit and
                     vi.

          The man page on the shell you are using (csh (1), ksh (1),
          or sh (1)) gives a complete list of the environment
          variables that apply to you.
