env(1)                                                        env(1)


       NAME
             env, printenv - 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 the command with the modified
             environment.  Arguments of the form name=value are merged into
             the inherited environment before the command is executed.  The
             - flag 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.

             env recognizes supplementary code set characters in value,
             command, and args according to the locale specified in the
             LC_CTYPE environment variable [see LANG on environ(5)].

             If the Application Compatibility Package is installed, then
             printenv replaces env.
