Description

@guskovd

There is a cool feature in in env (GNU coreutils) 8.30:

$ env --help
Usage: /hab/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.
  -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
  -S, --split-string=S  process and split S into separate arguments;
                        used to pass multiple arguments on shebang lines
  -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.
