\-a
Print environment variables starting with a period ('.').
\-e

Examples
--------
The following examples demonstrates the effect of the *-a* flag when displaying
environment variables:
::
=> setenv .foo bar
=> printenv
arch=sandbox
baudrate=115200
board=sandbox
...
stdout=serial,vidconsole
Environment size: 644/8188 bytes
=> printenv -a
.foo=bar
arch=sandbox
baudrate=115200
board=sandbox
...
stdout=serial,vidconsole
Environment size: 653/8188 bytes
=>
The next example shows the effect of the *-n* flag when displaying an UEFI
variable and how to specify a vendor GUID:
::
=> printenv -e -guid 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c PlatformLangCodes
PlatformLangCodes:
8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c (EFI_GLOBAL_VARIABLE_GUID)
BS|RT|RO, DataSize = 0x6
00000000: 65 6e 2d 55 53 00 en-US.
=> printenv -e -n PlatformLangCodes
PlatformLangCodes:
8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c (EFI_GLOBAL_VARIABLE_GUID)
BS|RT|RO, DataSize = 0x6
