UNEXPORT(1)

🌈 UNEXPORT(1) 🌈

okay so bestie, this is UNEXPORT(1) from the General Commands Manual — short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. let’s get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

unexport — remove a variable from the environment, then execute a program

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unexport var prog...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here’s the vibe: unexport removes the var variable from the environment, then exec(3)s into prog with its arguments. slay.

🫶 important: unsetting var is quite different from setting it to an empty value. Shell scripts usually won’t make the distinction; execline does.
