Synopsis: Add `-u name' option to env(1) Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->gad Responsible-Changed-By: gad Responsible-Changed-When: Fri Jul 29 18:21:09 GMT 2005 Responsible-Changed-Why: - Given all that I have recently done to the `env' command, this seems like a reasonably useful option to also include. For me, the primary use of `env' is to alter the environment before starting some program, *any* program, without requiring an extra invocation of /bin/sh just to get some tiny bit of work done. This option for -u makes sense in that context (IMO). I probably won't get to it in time for 6.0-release, but I will try to do it reasonably soon. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=65649
