NAME
 env — set and print environment
SYNOPSIS
| env | [-i] [name=value ...] [utility [argument ...]] | 
 
DESCRIPTION
 env executes 
utility after modifying the environment as specified on the command line. The option 
name=value specifies an environmental variable, 
name, with a value of 
value. The option ‘
-i’ causes 
env to completely ignore the environment it inherits.
If no utility is specified, env prints out the names and values of the variables in the environment, with one name=value pair per line.
 
EXIT STATUS
 env exits with one of the following values:
- 
0
- 
utility was invoked and completed successfully. In this case the exit code is returned by the utility itself, not env. If no utility was specified, then env completed successfully and returned the exit code itself.
- 
1
- 
An invalid command line option was passed to env.
- 
1-125
- 
utility was invoked, but failed in some way; see its manual page for more information. In this case the exit code is returned by the utility itself, not env.
- 
126
- 
utility was found, but could not be invoked.
- 
127
- 
utility could not be found.
 
COMPATIBILITY
 The historic - option has been deprecated but is still supported in this implementation.
STANDARDS
 The env utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (“POSIX.2”).
BUGS
 env doesn't handle commands with equal (“=”) signs in their names, for obvious reasons.
