+.SH NAME
+unset
+\(em unset values and attributes of variables and functions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+unset \fB[\fR-fv\fB] \fIname\fR...
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Each variable or function specified by
+.IR name
+shall be unset.
+.P
+If
+.BR \-v
+is specified,
+.IR name
+refers to a variable name and the shell shall unset it and remove it
+from the environment. Read-only variables cannot be unset.
+.P
+If
+.BR \-f
+is specified,
+.IR name
+refers to a function and the shell shall unset the function definition.
+.P
+If neither
+.BR \-f
+nor
+.BR \-v
+is specified,
+.IR name
+refers to a variable; if a variable by that name does not exist, it is
+unspecified whether a function by that name, if any, shall be unset.
+.P
+Unsetting a variable or function that was not previously set shall not
+be considered an error and does not cause the shell to abort.
+.P
+The
+.IR unset
+special built-in shall support the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 12.2" ", " "Utility Syntax Guidelines".
+.P
+Note that:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+VARIABLE=
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+is not equivalent to an
+.IR unset
+of
+.BR VARIABLE ;
+in the example,
+.BR VARIABLE
+is set to
+.BR \(dq\^\(dq .
+Also, the variables that can be
+.IR unset
+should not be misinterpreted to include the special parameters (see
+.IR "Section 2.5.2" ", " "Special Parameters").
+.SH OPTIONS
+See the DESCRIPTION.
+.SH OPERANDS
+See the DESCRIPTION.
+.SH STDIN
+Not used.
+.SH "INPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+None.
+.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+Not used.
+.SH STDERR
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH "OUTPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
+None.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.IP "\00" 6
+All
+.IR name
+operands were successfully unset.
+.IP >0 6
+At least one
+.IR name
+could not be unset.
+.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
+Default.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Unset
+.IR VISUAL
+variable:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+unset -v VISUAL
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+Unset the functions
+.BR foo
+and
+.BR bar :
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+unset -f foo bar
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.SH "RATIONALE"
+Consideration was given to omitting the
+.BR \-f
+option in favor of an
+.IR unfunction
+utility, but the standard developers decided to retain historical
+practice.
+.P
+The
+.BR \-v
+option was introduced because System V historically used one name space
+for both variables and functions. When
+.IR unset
+is used without options, System V historically unset either a function
+or a variable, and there was no confusion about which one was intended.
+A portable POSIX application can use
+.IR unset
+without an option to unset a variable, but not a function; the
+.BR \-f
+option must be used.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
