20 /* If first argument is "-", then a new environment is constructed
21 from scratch; otherwise the environment is inherited from the parent
22 process, except as modified by other options.
24 So, "env - foo" will invoke the "foo" program in a null environment,
25 whereas "env foo" would invoke "foo" in the same environment as that
26 passed to "env" itself.
28 Subsequent arguments are interpreted as follows:
30 * "variable=value" (i.e., an arg containing a "=" character)
31 means to set the specified environment variable to that value.
32 `value' may be of zero length ("variable="). Note that setting
33 a variable to a zero-length value is different from unsetting it.
35 * "-u variable" or "-unset variable"
36 means to unset that variable.
37 If that variable isn't set, does nothing.
39 * "-s variable value" or "-set variable value"
40 same as "variable=value".
43 are used to indicate that the following argument is the program
44 to invoke. This is only necessary when the program's name
45 begins with "-" or contains a "=".
48 The first remaining argument specifies a program to invoke
49 (it is searched for according to the specification of the PATH
50 environment variable) and any arguments following that are
51 passed as arguments to that program.
53 If no program-name is specified following the environment
54 specifications, the resulting environment is printed.
55 This is like specifying a program-name of "printenv".
58 If the environment passed to "env" is
59 { USER=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks }
61 * "env DISPLAY=gnu:0 nemacs"
62 calls "nemacs" in the environment
63 { USER=rms EDITOR=emacs PATH=.:/gnubin:/hacks DISPLAY=gnu:0 }
65 * "env - USER=foo /hacks/hack bar baz"
66 calls the "hack" program on arguments "bar" and "baz"
67 in an environment in which the only variable is "USER".
68 Note that the "-" option clears out the PATH variable,
69 so one should be careful to specify in which directory
70 to find the program to call.
72 * "env -u EDITOR USER=foo PATH=/energy -- e=mc2 bar baz"
73 The program "/energy/e=mc2" is called with environment
74 { USER=foo PATH=/energy }
