a development shell because your .cshrc or .profile file overrides PATH or other
variables whenever a shell is started.
In these cases, the following command can be used to output the environment
variables to standard out:

% wrenv.sh –p package –o print_env –f format
In this example, format specifies the output format or shell type, which can be set
to plain, sh, csh, bat, or tcl.
For example, to set the environment in csh without starting a sub-shell, use the
following command:
% eval 'wrenv.sh –p package –o print_env –f csh'
7.5 How Does wrenv Create a Unified Environment Setting?
The wrenv utility takes advantage of an installation properties file
(install.properties). The installation properties file, which can be considered a type
of installation registry, consolidates various pieces of information in a single
location, including the information needed for environment settings. The
installation properties file is independent of host platform and provides
information to help enforce correct environment setting dependencies across
multiple installed component packages (such as Wind River Workbench,
Wind River VxWorks Platforms, documentation, and test packages). At product
installation time, the installation properties file is created by aggregating the
package property files (package.properties) that accompany each installed
package. The installer invokes a post-installation script
(installDir/setup/postinstall.sh) to aggregate the necessary package.properties
files. The wrenv utility is the primary processing engine for information stored in
the installation properties file. Typically, wrenv processes any environment setting
information related directly or indirectly to the selected package (-p option) in the
installation properties file and then creates a new command shell containing the
specified environment.
