set
The "set" command is a command line tool used in various operating systems, such as Windows and Unix-like systems.
It allows you to view, modify, or create environment variables, which are predefined values that control the behavior of various processes and applications on your system.
By running "set" without any arguments, you can view a list of all current environment variables and their values.
You can also use "set" followed by the name of an environment variable to view just that specific variable's value.
To set a new value for an existing environment variable, you can use the syntax "set VARIABLE_NAME=VALUE". This will update the value of the specified variable for the current session.
You can also use "setx" (Windows only) to permanently set a new value for an environment variable that will persist even after a reboot.
The "set" command can be helpful for troubleshooting and debugging, as it allows you to check the values of important system variables and verify if they are correctly configured.
Additionally, the "set" command can be used in batch scripting to manipulate environment variables and automate certain tasks.
In Unix-like systems, the "export" command is used to set environment variables, but the "set" command can still be used to view their values.
Overall, the "set" command is a versatile tool for managing and manipulating environment variables on the command line.
