NAME

env - run a program in a modified environment

SYNOPSIS

env [,OPTION/]... [,-/] [,NAME=VALUE/]... [,COMMAND /[,ARG/]...]

DESCRIPTION

Set each NAME to VALUE in the environment and run COMMAND.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

-i, --ignore-environment: start with an empty environment
-0, --null: end each output line with NUL, not newline
-u, --unset=,NAME/: remove variable from the environment
-C, --chdir=,DIR/: change working directory to DIR
--help: display this help and exit
--version: output version information and exit

A mere - implies -i. If no COMMAND, print the resulting environment.
