Usage: /usr/bin/env [OPTION]... [-] [NAME=VALUE]... [COMMAND [ARG]...]
Set each NAME to VALUE in the environment and run COMMAND.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --argv0=ARG
pass ARG as the zeroth argument of COMMAND
-i, --ignore-environment
start with an empty environment
--env0-from=FILE
read NUL-delimited environment entries from FILE
-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
-S, --split-string=S
process and split S into separate arguments;
used to pass multiple arguments on shebang lines
--block-signal[=SIG]
block delivery of SIG signal(s) to COMMAND
--default-signal[=SIG]
reset handling of SIG signal(s) to the default
--ignore-signal[=SIG]
set handling of SIG signal(s) to do nothing
--list-signal-handling
list non default signal handling to standard error
-v, --debug
print verbose information for each processing step
--help
display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
A mere - implies -i. If no COMMAND, print the resulting environment.
SIG may be a signal name like 'PIPE', or a signal number like '13'.
Without SIG, all known signals are included. Multiple signals can be
comma-separated. An empty SIG argument is a no-op.
Exit status:
125 if the env command itself fails
126 if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked
127 if COMMAND cannot be found
- the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
