Environmental variables are the variables with names and connected values. the values ​​are stored in the systems used by the requests launched in the shells and sub-shells. This basically affects the programs that are implemented in the environment.

      Shell variables are only applied to the internal current shell. Each set of shells has its own internal shell variables.

      Environmental variables:

      These variables are applied to the wide system and are inherited by shells and brought about by child processes. Some commands can be applied to set environment variables in the Linux systems.

      • Env
      • Print env
      • Set
      • Unset
      • export

      Printenv:

      This command prints only the specific environmental variables.

      Set:

      This command set or unset the variables. When it will use without a conflict it will print the list of shells and shell function and environmental variables.

      Unset:

      This command clears the shells and environmental variables.

      Export:

      The export command sets only environmental variables.

      Scope of environmental variables:

      In Linux, environmental variables have scope locally and globally. The variable scope is the region over which it is defined or can be accessed.
