     SYNOPSIS
          printenv [argument]

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

          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 vari-
          ables that apply to you.
