Thank you for the patch. It seem it have slipped between the cracks long
ago - sorry about that.

So summarize:

With your patch, using "printenv -n VARNAME" adds
the variable name to the output. e.g.:

     $ printenv HOME
     /home/gordon

     $ printenv -n HOME
     HOME=/home/gordon

 From a cursory look this seems like a non-standard extension
that is not available in any other 'printenv' implementations.

Do you have any specific use-cases for this functionality
(that can't be easily done with existing methods) ?

I'm inclined to close it as "wontfix" - but will wait few days
in case others want to chime in with other opinions.

regards,
  - assaf

This feature looks like it should be possible to write out the current settings
to a file which could later be sourced in:

  printenv -n VAR > file

and in another shell (to get VAR back):

  . file

I'm afraid this is problematic once the value of a variable starts to have
funny characters, even a simple blank ' ' already screws things up.
For this kind of save/restore, -n would need to do correct shell quoting.

Have a nice day,
Berny
