Linux Command to view the current information of Environment Variables

Linux is a multi-user operating system. Each user logs on to the system and has a dedicated runtime environment. Generally, the default environment of each user is the same. The default environment is actually the definition of a set of environment variables.

In Windows, the command for viewing environment variables is set, which outputs the current environment variables of the system.

In Linux, how does one check the environment variables in REDHAT? The command is:
Export
If you want to view the environment variable of a name, the command is echo $ environment variable name, for example:
Echo $ ORACLE_HOME
The command for Windows is:
Set environment variable name.

1. Check the environment variable display environment variable HOME in Linux
$ Echo $ HOME/home/redbooks

2. Check the environment variables in Linux and set a new environment variable hello.
$ Export HELLO = "Hello !"
$ Echo $ HELLO
Hello!

3. Run the env command to display all environment variables in Linux.
 

 
 

  
  
$ env  
  
  
HOSTNAME=redbooks.safe.org  
  
  
PVM_RSH=/usr/bin/rsh  
  
  
SHELL=/bin/bash  
  
  
TERM=xterm 
  
  
HISTSIZE=1000 
  
  
…  
 
 

4. Run the set command to display all locally defined Shell variables in Linux.

 
 

  
  
$ set  
  
  
BASH=/bin/bash  
  
  
BASH_VERSINFO=([0]=”2″[1]=”05b”[2]=”0″[3]=”1″[4]=”release”[5]=”i386-redhat-Linux-gnu”)  
  
  
BASH_VERSION=’2.05b.0(1)-release’  
  
  
COLORS=/etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm  
  
  
COLUMNS=80 
  
  
DIRSTACK=()  
  
  
DISPLAY=:0.0  
  
  
…  
 
 

5. Run the unset command to clear environment variables in Linux.
Set can be used to set the value of an environment variable. Run the unset command to clear the environment variable values. If no value is specified, the variable value is set to NULL. Example:
$ Export TEST = "Test ..." # Add an environment variable TEST
$ Env | grep TEST # This command is input to prove that the environment variable TEST already exists.
TEST = Test...
$ Unset $ TEST # Delete the environment variable TEST
$ Env | grep TEST # This command is not output, proving that the environment variable TEST already exists

6. Use the readonly command to set the read-only variables in Linux.
If the readonly command is used, the variables cannot be modified or cleared. Example:
$ Export TEST = "Test ..." # Add an environment variable TEST
$ Readonly TEST # Set the environment variable TEST as read-only
$ Unset TEST # This variable cannot be deleted
-Bash: unset: TEST: cannot unset: readonly variable
$ TEST = "New" # This variable cannot be modified.
-Bash: TEST: readonly variable

The environment variable settings are in the/etc/profile file.
