+printenv command
+================
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+    printenv [-a] [name ...]
+    printenv -e [-guid guid][-n] [name]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The printenv command is used to print environment or UEFI variables.
+
+\-a
+    Print environment variables starting with a period ('.').
+
+\-e
+    Print UEFI variables. Without -e environment variables are printed.
+
+\-guid *guid*
+    Specify vendor GUID *guid*. If none is specified, all UEFI variables with
+    the specified name are printed irrespective of their vendor GUID.
+
+\-n
+    don't show hexadecimal dump of value
+
+name
+    Variable name. If no name is provided, all variables are printed.
+    Multiple environment variable names may be specified.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+The following examples demonstrates the effect of the *-a* flag when displaying
+environment variables:
+
+::
+
+    => setenv .foo bar
+    => printenv
+    arch=sandbox
+    baudrate=115200
+    board=sandbox
+    ...
+    stdout=serial,vidconsole
+
+    Environment size: 644/8188 bytes
+    => printenv -a
+    .foo=bar
+    arch=sandbox
+    baudrate=115200
+    board=sandbox
+    ...
+    stdout=serial,vidconsole
+
+    Environment size: 653/8188 bytes
+    =>
+
+The next example shows the effect of the *-n* flag when displaying an UEFI
+variable and how to specify a vendor GUID:
+
+::
+
+    => printenv -e -guid 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c PlatformLangCodes
+    PlatformLangCodes:
+        8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c (EFI_GLOBAL_VARIABLE_GUID)
+        BS|RT|RO, DataSize = 0x6
+        00000000: 65 6e 2d 55 53 00                                en-US.
+    => printenv -e -n PlatformLangCodes
+    PlatformLangCodes:
+        8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c (EFI_GLOBAL_VARIABLE_GUID)
+        BS|RT|RO, DataSize = 0x6
+    =>
+
+Configuration

+
+UEFI variables are only supported if CONFIG_CMD_NVEDIT_EFI=y. The value of UEFI
+variables can only be displayed if CONFIG_HEXDUMP=y.
