+.Nm
+executes
+.Ar utility
+after modifying the environment as
+specified on the command line.
+The option
+.Ar name=value
+specifies
+an environmental variable,
+.Ar name ,
+with a value of
+.Ar value .
+The option
+.Sq Fl i
+causes
+.Nm
+to completely ignore the environment
+it inherits.
+.Pp
+If no
+.Ar utility
+is specified,
+.Nm
+prints out the names and values
+of the variables in the environment, with one
+.Ar name=value
+pair per line.
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Nm
+exits with one of the following values:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It 0
+.Ar utility
+was invoked and completed successfully.
+In this case the exit code is returned by the utility itself, not
+.Nm .
+If no utility was specified, then
+.Nm
+completed successfully and returned the exit code itself.
+.It 1
+An invalid command line option was passed to
+.Nm .
+.It 1\-125
+.Ar utility
+was invoked, but failed in some way;
+see its manual page for more information.

+.Ar utility
+was found, but could not be invoked.

+doesn't handle commands with equal
+.Pq Dq =
+signs in their
+names, for obvious reasons.
