<h1> The <tt>import</tt> program </h1>

<p>
<tt>import</tt> replaces an environment variable name with its value,
then executes another program.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     import [ -i | -D <em>default</em> ] [ -u ] [ -s ] [ -C | -c ] [ -n ] [ -d <em>delim</em> ] <em>envvar</em> <em>prog...</em>
</pre>

<ul>
 <li> <tt>import</tt> behaves exactly as
<tt><a href="importas.html">importas</a> <em>envvar</em> <em>envvar</em></t>.
</ul>

<h2> Notes </h2>

<ul>
 <li> Starting in execline-2.5.0.0, the <tt>import</tt> command is
marked as obsolescent; it will disappear in a future version of execline.
It is recommended to use the <a href="importas.html">importas</a>
command instead. </li>
</ul>
