     NAME
          userenv - print user's login environment

     SYNOPSIS
          userenv [-nologin] [-csh] [ -t timeout ]

     DESCRIPTION
          userenv executes a user's login shell, finds the resulting
          environment, and then prints to stdout commands such as

               PATH=mypath; export PATH

          which can be eval'ed by /bin/sh in order to set the
          environment.

          Userenv starts an interactive shell.  Before executing the
          shell, it sets the environment variable ENVONLY equal to 1.
          Thus, when your login scripts are executed as a result of
          userenv, they will execute fastest if, after seeing that
          ENVONLY = 1, they do very little except for setting the
          environment.  This variable is also useful for disabling
          interactive portions of login scripts.

          Although userenv is fairly robust, it's possible that
          interactive sequences in a login script might fail.  At
          worst, userenv will timeout when interacting with the shell,
          and will print nothing to stdout.  If it times out, it will
          print an error message to /dev/console.

          This program is intended for use by the window system.

     OPTIONS
          -nologin   Execute the appropriate shell, but not a login
                     shell.  For csh, this causes .cshrc to be read,
                     but not .login.

          -csh       causes the output by userenv to be csh, rather
                     than sh, commands.

          -t timeout Allows specifying the timeout value in seconds
                     before userenv gives up waiting for input.  This
                     may be useful for users who have commands that
                     cause long delays in their login scripts.  The
                     default is 10 seconds.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          userenv returns 0 on success and nonzero if it was unable to
          exexcute a login shell or find that environment.
