The set <envar> syntax is:
se[t] <envar> [value]
where envar (environment variable) and value are from Table 7-3, which also
indicates which environment variables are volatile. Certain environment variables,
such as boot specifications, must be defined using the create command. For additional
information, see Section 7.5.11. Unambiguous abbreviations can be used for an
environment variable name when using the set command. Set -d envar resets the
value of envar to its default value. Wildcarding is also allowed with the set command.
For example, set -d * resets all environment variables to their default values.
