NAME [Toc] [Back]
env - set environment for command execution
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
env [-] [-i] [name = value] ... [command [arguments ...]]
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
env obtains the current environment, modifies it according to its
arguments, then executes the command with the modified environment.
Arguments of the form name=value are merged into the inherited
environment before the command is executed. The -i option causes the
inherited environment to be ignored completely so that the command is
executed with exactly the environment specified by the arguments. The
- option is obsolete and has the same effect as the -i option.
If no command is specified, the resulting environment is printed, one
name-value pair per line.
RETURN VALUE [Toc] [Back]
If command is invoked, the exit status of env is the exit status of
command; otherwise, env exits with one of the following values:
0 env completed successfully.
1-125 env encountered an error.
126 command was found but could not be invoked.
127 command could not be found.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES [Toc] [Back]
Environment Variables
LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If LC_MESSAGES is not specified in the environment or is set to the
empty string, the value of LANG is used as a default for each
unspecified or empty variable. If LANG is not specified or is set to
the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of
LANG.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, env
behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See
environ(5).
International Code Set Support [Toc] [Back]
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
WARNING [Toc] [Back]
The - option is obsolete. Use -i instead.
