Find the current values of all your environment variables and functions in Unix

To find the current values of all your environment variables and functions in Unix, if you are using the sh, ksh, or bash shell, at the prompt, enter:

 set

If you are using the csh or tcsh shell, enter:

 printenv

The resulting lists show all environment variables (for example, home, shell) and functions, and their values, both default and user-defined. On most systems, entering setenv will display the same results as printenv.

For more information about the printenv or set commands, at the Unix prompt, enter either of the following commands:

 man printenv man set
