shell variables

shell variable can only be created by shell process

When the shell process is creating some variables then subsequence process
will not be able to use that variable

To print all environmental variable that have been set

#env or #printenv

To set environment variable

#export NAME="whoami"
or
NAME="whoami"
export NAME

TO know the value of variables

echo $NAME //(NAME is variable)
if you want to use variables type
# $NAME
