  NAME
       export -- mark names for export

  SYNOPSIS
       export [name[=value] ...]
       export -p

  DESCRIPTION
       export marks each name so that the current shell exports it auto-
       matically to the environment of all commands executed from that
       shell.  Exported variables are thus available in the environment
       to all subsequent commands.  Several commands (for example,
       cd(1), date(1), vi(1)) look at environment variables for confi-
       guration or option information.

       Variable assignments of the form name=value assign value to name
       as well as marking name for export.

       Calling export without arguments lists, with appropriate quoting,
       the names and values of all variables in the format:

          Variable="value"

       If you re-input this format to another shell, variables are
       assigned appropriately but not exported.  The -p option lists
       variables in a format suitable for re-input to the shell (see the
       description of the  -p option).

  Options
       export accepts the following option:

       -p   lists variables in the form

               export name="value"

            suitable for re-input to the shell.

  DIAGNOSTICS
       Possible exit status values:

       0  Successful completion.

       1  Failure due to invalid command line argument.
