  19 /* Options:
  20    -
  21    -i
  22    --ignore-environment
  23         Construct a new environment from scratch; normally the
  24         environment is inherited from the parent process, except as
  25         modified by other options.
  26
  27    -u variable
  28    --unset=variable
  29         Unset variable VARIABLE (remove it from the environment).
  30         If VARIABLE was not set, does nothing.
  31
  32    variable=value (an arg containing a "=" character)
  33         Set the environment variable VARIABLE to value VALUE.  VALUE
  34         may be of zero length ("variable=").  Setting a variable to a
  35         zero-length value is different from unsetting it.
  36
  37    --
  38         Indicate that the following argument is the program
  39         to invoke.  This is necessary when the program's name
  40         begins with "-" or contains a "=".
  41
  42    The first remaining argument specifies a program to invoke;
  43    it is searched for according to the specification of the PATH
  44    environment variable.  Any arguments following that are
  45    passed as arguments to that program.
  46
  47    If no command name is specified following the environment
  48    specifications, the resulting environment is printed.
  49    This is like specifying a command name of "printenv".
  50
  51    Examples:
  52
  53    If the environment passed to "env" is
  54         { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks }
  55
  56    env - foo
  57         runs "foo" in a null environment.
  58
  59    env foo
  60         runs "foo" in the environment
  61         { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks }
  62
  63    env DISPLAY=gnu:0 nemacs
  64         runs "nemacs" in the environment
  65         { LOGNAME=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks DISPLAY=gnu:0 }
  66
  67    env - LOGNAME=foo /hacks/hack bar baz
  68         runs the "hack" program on arguments "bar" and "baz" in an
  69         environment in which the only variable is "LOGNAME".  Note that
  70         the "-" option clears out the PATH variable, so one should be
  71         careful to specify in which directory to find the program to
  72         call.
  73
  74    env -u EDITOR LOGNAME=foo PATH=/energy -- e=mc2 bar baz
  75         runs the program "/energy/e=mc2" with environment
  76         { LOGNAME=foo PATH=/energy }
