EXPORT(1)

NAME

export - mark variables for export to child process environments.

SYNOPSIS

export [-aprx] [name[=value] ...]

DESCRIPTION

export is a POSIX special builtin provided by Rush. It marks variables for export to child process environments. Assignment operands set a value while applying the export attribute. Without operands, it prints exported declarations.

OPTIONS

-a

Accept Bash-style indexed-array declarations. This option is available only in Rush's default Bash-compatible mode.

-p

Print reusable exported declarations, optionally restricted to the named variables.

-r

Also apply the readonly attribute.

-x

Apply the export attribute explicitly.

--

End option parsing.

EXIT STATUS

Zero on success, one when a declaration fails, and two for invalid options or, in POSIX mode, invalid identifiers.
