SETENV(1prom)       RISC/os Reference Manual        SETENV(1prom)



NAME
     setenv - set prom environment variable

SYNOPSIS
     setenv var value

DESCRIPTION
     Use the setenv command to create a new environment variable
     or to change the value of an existing environment variable.
     Environment variables are represented as ASCII strings.  The
     current value of environment variables are passed to pro-
     grams booted by the PROM Monitor or the standalone shell (
     sash(1M)).  Keep in mind that changing the environment vari-
     ables passed by the PROMs does not change the values in
     non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
