+Setting Environment Variables for Processes
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The constructor of the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Process\\Process` class and
+all of its methods related to executing processes (``run()``, ``mustRun()``,
+``start()``, etc.) allow passing an array of environment variables to set while
+running the process::
+
+    $process = new Process(['...'], null, ['ENV_VAR_NAME' => 'value']);
+    $process = Process::fromShellCommandline('...', null, ['ENV_VAR_NAME' => 'value']);
+    $process->run(null, ['ENV_VAR_NAME' => 'value']);
+
+In addition to the env vars passed explicitly, processes inherit all the env
+vars defined in your system. You can prevent this by setting to ``false`` the
+env vars you want to remove::
+
+    $process = new Process(['...'], null, [
+        'APP_ENV' => false,
+        'SYMFONY_DOTENV_VARS' => false,
+    ]);
+
