unset: Remove the variables foo and bar.
$ unset -v ${foo} ${bar}
try on your machine

The command unset -v ${foo} ${bar} is used to unset or remove the value of variables foo and bar in a shell script or environment.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • unset is a command used to unset or remove the value of a variable.
  • -v is an option that makes the shell display a message describing each variable that is unset.
  • ${foo} and ${bar} are the variables whose values will be unset. The variables foo and bar can be replaced with actual variable names.

For example, if you have the variables foo="hello" and bar="world" set in your script or environment, running unset -v ${foo} ${bar} will remove their values, effectively unsetting them.
