-.

-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-Environments provide a means to apply policies to hosts in your infrastructure based on business function\. For example, you may have a separate copy of your infrastructure called "dev" that runs the latest version of your application and should use the newest versions of your cookbooks when configuring systems, and a production instance of your infrastructure where you wish to update code and cookbooks in a more controlled fashion\. In Chef, this function is implemented with \fIenvironments\fR\.
-.
-.P
-Environments contain two major components: a set of cookbook version constraints and environment attributes\.
-.
-.SH "SYNTAX"
-A cookbook version constraint is comprised of a \fIcookbook name\fR and a \fIversion constraint\fR\. The \fIcookbook name\fR is the name of a cookbook in your system, and the \fIversion constraint\fR is a String describing the version(s) of that cookbook allowed in the environment\. Only one \fIversion constraint\fR is supported for a given \fIcookbook name\fR\.
-.
-.P
-The exact syntax used to define a cookbook version constraint varies depending on whether you use the JSON format or the Ruby format\. In the JSON format, the cookbook version constraints for an environment are represented as a single JSON object, like this:
-.
-.IP "" 4
-.
-.nf
-
-{"apache2": ">= 1\.5\.0"}
-.
-.fi
-.
-.IP "" 0
-.
-.P
-In the Ruby format, the cookbook version contraints for an environment are represented as a Ruby Hash, like this:

+.sp
+An environment is a way to map an organization\(aqs real\-life workflow to what can be configured and managed when using server. Every organization begins with a single environment called the \fB_default\fP environment, which cannot be modified (or deleted). Additional environments can be created to reflect each organization\(aqs patterns and workflow. For example, creating \fBproduction\fP, \fBstaging\fP, \fBtesting\fP, and \fBdevelopment\fP environments. Generally, an environment is also associated with one (or more) cookbook versions.
+.sp
+The \fBknife environment\fP subcommand is used to manage environments within a single organization on the server.
+.sp
+This subcommand has the following syntax:
+.sp
.nf

-.P
-A \fIversion number\fR is a String comprised of two or three digits separated by a dot (\.) character, or in other words, strings of the form "major\.minor" or "major\.minor\.patch"\. "1\.2" and "1\.2\.3" are examples of valid version numbers\. Version numbers containing more than three digits or alphabetic characters are not supported\.
-.
-.P
-A \fIversion constraint\fR String is composed of an \fIoperator\fR and a \fIversion number\fR\. The following operators are available:
-.
+.SH COMMON OPTIONS

-Equality\. Only the exact version specified may be used\.
-.
+.B \fB\-c CONFIG\fP, \fB\-\-config CONFIG\fP

.TP
-\fB>= VERSION\fR
-Greater than or equal to\. Only versions equal to VERSION or greater may be used\.
-.
+.B \fB\-d\fP, \fB\-\-disable\-editing\fP

.TP
-\fB< VERSION\fR
-Less than\. Only versions less than VERSION may be used\.

-.
+.B \fB\-e EDITOR\fP, \fB\-\-editor EDITOR\fP
+The $EDITOR that is used for all interactive commands.
.TP
-\fB~> VERSION\fR
-Pessimistic greater than\. Depending on the number of components in the given VERSION, the constraint will be optimistic about future minor or patch revisions only\. For example, \fB~> 1\.1\fR will match any version less than \fB2\.0\fR and greater than or equal to \fB1\.1\.0\fR, whereas \fB~> 2\.0\.5\fR will match any version less than \fB2\.1\.0\fR and greater than or equal to \fB2\.0\.5\fR\.
