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,
