NAME

env − set environment for command execution

SYNOPSIS

env [−] [−i] [name = value] ... [command [arguments ...]]

DESCRIPTION

env obtains the current environment, modifies it according to its arguments, then executes the command with the modified environment. Arguments of the form name=value are merged into the inherited environment before the command is executed.  The −i option causes the inherited environment to be ignored completely so that the command is executed with exactly the environment specified by the arguments.  The − option is obsolete and has the same effect as the −i option. 

If no command is specified, the resulting environment is printed; one name-value pair per line. 

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

International Code Set Support

Single-byte character code sets are supported. 

WARNING

The − option is obsolete.  Use −i instead.
