# The `env` command
The `env` command in Linux/Unix is used to either print a list of the current environment variables or to run a program in a custom environment without changing the current one.
## Syntax
```bash
env [OPTION]... [-] [NAME=VALUE]... [COMMAND [ARG]...]
```
## Usage
1. Print out the set of current environment variables
```bash
env
```
2. Run a command with an empty environment
```bash
env -i command_name
```
3. Remove variable from the environment
```bash
env -u variable_name
```
4. End each output with NULL
```bash
env -0
```
