+</div>
+<p>or it can be set for just one command line call:</p>
+<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ VAR=&quot;some variable&quot; ./cmd
+</pre></div>

+<p>Environment variables on UNIX are usually removed with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">unset</span></code> command:</p>
+<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ unset VAR

+<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">VAR</span></code> will be available for the entire session, unless it is unset. This is
