Possibly not, since it's not part of UNIX98 (the "Single Unix
Specification, version 2"). I don't have a POSIX standard handy right
now but I don't think it is specified there either.

On the other hand, my NetBSD manual page says printenv was introduced
in BSD 3.0, so perhaps it's everywhere even if non-standard, which
would be typically Unix!

If someone does find a platform that is missing printenv it's easy
enough to change that code to use env and grep instead.
