set environment for command execution
From the original Amiga UNIX 2.1 manual. Some things it mentions may not be in this release.
With the coreutil package (with the extra set), see env(1) instead.
NAME
env - set environment for command execution
SYNOPSIS
env [-] [ name=value ] ... [ command args ]
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 - flag causes the inherited environment to be ignored completely, so that the command is executed with exactly the environment specified by the arguments.
If no command is specified, the resulting environment is printed, one name-value pair per line.
