EchoMac is a client program for OS X that allows connection to the Echolink system. It is built as a Universal Binary, and works on OS X 10.3.9 or later (including 10.8.x) The first time you use the Echolink network, you will need to verify your callsign. This document is a Mac OS X manual page. Manual pages are a command-line technology for providing documentation. You can view these manual pages locally using the man(1) command. These manual pages come from many different sources, and thus, have a variety of writing styles.

There are two ways to check current environment variables in macOS:
1. Display and review a list of all current environment variables.
2. Display and review a specific environment variable.
Use the
printenv
command to display a list of currently set environment variables:Note: If you want to display the complete list of shell variables, use the
set
command.If you want to display the value of any specific environment variable, use the
echo
command:For example, to check the value of the
PATH
variable which stores a list of directories with executable files, use theecho
command:Note: Always use the
$
prefix when specifying a variable name.The value you assign to a temporary environment variable only lasts until you close the terminal session. This is useful for variables you need to use for one session only or to avoid typing the same value multiple times.
Assign a temporary environment variable with the
export
command:Where:
[variable_name]
: The name for the new temporary environment variable you want to set.[variable_value]
: The value you want to assign to the new variable.
The
export
command also allows you to add new values to existing environment variables:Where:
[existing_variable_name]
: The name of the environment variable you want to add a new value to.[new_variable_value]
: The value you want to add to an existing variable.
For example, if you want to add a custom folder path to the
PATH
variable, use:Permanent environment variables are added to the
.bash_profile
file:1. Find the path to
.bash_profile
by using:2. Open the
.bash_profile
file with a text editor of your choice.3. Scroll down to the end of the
.bash_profile
file.4. Use the
export
command to add new environment variables:Tots sumo mac os. 5. Save any changes you made to the
.bash_profile
file.6. Execute the new
.bash_profile
by either restarting the terminal window or using:Use the
unset
command to remove an environment variable:After following this tutorial, you should know how to set temporary and permanent environment variables in macOS. This should make it easier for you to configure software packages in the future.

Sample bash script to show how to parse the macOS version

# regular expression |
if [[ '$os_ver'=~ 10.1[23].* ]];then |

# awk |
echo'minor version with awk: '$(echo '$os_ver'| awk -F. '{ print $2; }') |

Looking at this piece: I needed to take into account the leading colon in os_ver. To do that I modified my if statement to this |

I think it should have been: (swap -: with :- to set the default) |
