SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     env [-i] [name=value ...] [utility [argument ...]]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 options are as follows:

     -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.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     If  the  utility is invoked, the exit status of env shall be
the exit status
 of utility; otherwise, the env utility exits with one of
the following
 values:

     0       The env utility completed successfully.

     126      The  utility  specified  by  utility was found, but
could not be invoked.
