Console 3-9
3.2 Environment Variables
An environment variable is a name and a value association maintained by
the console program. The value associated with an environment variable is
an ASCII string (up to 128 characters) or an integer. Volatile environment
variables are initialized by a system reset; others are nonvolatile across
system failures.
Environment variables can be created, modified, displayed, and deleted us-
ing the console create, set, show, and clear commands.
