ENV(1)                     OpenBSD Reference Manual                     ENV(1)

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 environment variable,
     name, with a value of value. The -i option causes env to completely ig-
     nore 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.

DIAGNOSTICS
     If the utility is invoked, the exit status of env shall be the exit sta-
     tus of utility; otherwise, the env utility exits with one of the follow-
     ing values:

     0       The env utility completed successfully.

     1-125   An error occurred in the env utility.

     126     The utility specified by utility was found, but could not be in-
             voked.

     127     The utility specified by 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 Std1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').

BUGS
     env doesn't handle commands with equal (`=') signs in their names, for
     obvious reasons.
