                     13: When the  shell sh executes  a command, it passes  the command an
                     14: environment.   By  convention, the  environment  consists of  as-
                     15: signments, each of the form name=value.  For example, typing
                     16: 
                     17: 
                     18:         export TERM=vt100

                     21: sets the environmental variable TERM to equal the string vt100.
                     22: 
                     23: A  command may  look for  information in  the environment  or may
                     24: simply ignore it.  In the above example, a program that reads the
                     25: variable  TERM (such  as  MicroEMACS) will  assume  that you  are
                     26: working on a DEC VT-100 terminal or one that emulates it.
                     27: 
                     28: The shell  places the name  and the value of  each shell variable
                     29: that appears in an  export command into the environment of subse-
                     30: quently executed  commands.  It does  not place a  shell variable
                     31: into the environment until it appears in an export command.
                     32: 
                     33: With no  arguments, export prints the name and  the value of each
                     34: shell variable currently marked for export.
                     35: 
                     36: The shell executes export directly.
