$ env ${program}

try on your machine

The command "env ${program}" is used to execute the specified program within a modified environment. Here, the variable "${program}" represents the name of the program to be executed. The "$" symbol is used to access the value of the variable. By using the "env" command, you are able to modify the environment variables that are passed to the program when it is executed. The "env" command allows you to add or modify the environment variables before executing the program, providing a way to customize the execution environment of the program. For example, if you have a program called "example_program" and you want to execute it in a modified environment where you have added custom environment variables, you would use the command: env example_program This way, the "example_program" would execute within the specified environment.
