NAME
     printenv - displays  the  value  of  variables  set  in  the
     current environment

SYNOPSIS
     printenv [argument]

ARGUMENTS
     argument
          Specifies the environment variable name that will have
          its values displayed.  Replace argument with
          environment variables names such as:  HOME, SHELL,
          PATH, TERM, LOGNAME, TERMCAP, and EXINIT.  If no
          argument is given, it displays the values for the
          entire environment.

DESCRIPTION
     printenv takes an environment variable name as an argument
     and displays only the value of that variable.

     Some environment variable names and their descriptions are:

     HOME Specifies the pathname of user's home directory.

     SHELL
          Specifies the shell present at login.

     PATH Searchs the path for binary programs.

     TERM Specifies the type of terminal being used.

     LOGNAME
          Specifies the login name of the user.

     TERMCAP
          Specifies the terminal capabilities string.

     EXINIT
          Specifies 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.

EXAMPLES
     The command:

        printenv HOME

     displays the pathname of your home directory.
