Displaying Variables

To look at the value of your environment variables, type env, setenv, or printenv.

Suppose on a Unix system I type:

my_sys%  env > env.list

This puts a list of all my environment variables into a file called env.list.

Sample env output on a Univel UnixWare system (Unix SVR4.2) from the file env.list:

MANPATH=/usr/flib/books/man
LANG=c
HZ=100
VISUAL=vi
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/dbin:/usr/ldbin:/usr/ 
   ccs/bin:/usr /X/bin:/usr/ucb:.
COUNTRY=1
XGUI=MOTIF
WKSHLIBDIR=/usr/X/lib/wksh
HISTFILE=/home/aja1/.ksh\_hist
LOGNAME=aja1
MAIL=/var/mail/aja1
XDM\_LOGIN=yes
XWINHOME=/usr/X
DESKTOPDIR=/home/aja1
DISPLAY=unix:0.0
SHELL=/usr/X/bin/wksh
HOME=/home/aja1
TERM=xterm
PWD=/home/aja1/nhome/docs/class
TZ=:US/Eastern
ENV=/usr/X/lib/wksh/olwksh.rc
KEYB=us

On an SCO Xenix system, you would use printenv to see the environment variables:

HOME=/u/stu1
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/u/local/bin:
LOGNAME=stu1
TERM=wy60
TZ=EST8EDT
MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/stu1
MAILCHECK=1
SHELL=/bin/csh
