How to list variables declared in script in sh (dash)?

Question

I have seen How to list variables declared in script in bash? - but it does not help me in this case.

I would like to dump all environment and shell variables that Android Studio 4.0.1 sees on Ubuntu 18.04. The startup script is ./android-studio/bin/studio.sh , and the header is:

$ head -1 ./android-studio/bin/studio.sh
#!/bin/sh

So, it is a sh script (not bash ), which in Ubuntu 18.04 is dash :

$ ls -la /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct  4  2018 /bin/sh -> dash

So, basically, inside the code I can intervene here:

...
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$IDE_HOME/lib/jna.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$JDK/lib/tools.jar"
if [ -n "$STUDIO_CLASSPATH" ]; then
  CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$STUDIO_CLASSPATH"
fi

# dump env - debug
env

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run the IDE.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
IFS="$(printf '\n\t')"
...

So, you can see there is a CLASSPATH variable there, I would like to dump it to stdout. However, just env will not print it - when I run this script, I get:

Nope, no CLASSPATH variable dumped here.

So, how do I dump all environment and shell variables from sh ( dash ) script?

Answer 1

The 'env' command will print the environment - variables have to be exported. Either the CLASSPATH is exported later (via export CLASSPATH ), or it may be used in the command line (java -cp "$CLASSPATH" ...).

You can get a list of ALL variables (exported variable, and internal shell variables) using the set command.
