Hi,

the env program does not quote the output by default and there is no
way to tell the program to do so.  This makes the program quite a bit
dangerous.  It is possible to define a value of an environment
variable with a newline:

$ export EVIL='
> FAKE=1'

The output of the env program makes it impossible to distinguish
between real variables and faked variables:

$ env
...
EVIL=
FAKE=1
...

Does POSIX require this behavior?

bis später...
Sascha
