Go to the first previous next last section, table of contents .

parameter and VARIABLE Index

Note: samples shown were snapshoted from my session and most will be different for you!
Variables without sample values were not set at the time.

set command displays ALL variables currently maintained by the shell.
That is, many utilities use variables to define default parameters.
The shell doesn't use them.

Also, use STRING=value to establish variables to be used in scripts.
