NAME

env − set environment for command execution

SYNOPSIS

env [−] [−i] [ name=value ] ...  [ command [ arguments ...  ] ]

DESCRIPTION

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 flag causes the inherited environment to be ignored completely so that the command is executed with exactly the environment specified by the arguments.  The − flag has the same effect as the −i flag. 

If no command is specified, the resulting environment is printed; one name-value pair per line. 

WARNING

The − flag is an obsolete option to env.  Use −i instead.
