'Where can I find environment variables in MacOS Monterey?

I do a lot of search on finding environment variables. When I use the command printenv. I see a lot of environment variables. But I can't find them in my MacOS system.

I tried to open ~/.bash_profile and ~/.zshenv. But nothing in there!

I want to know clearly, in some searches, they said, there are two kind of environment variables in this link

  • Temporary environment variables, for example, using command:
export PATH=/Users/user1/Documents/apache-maven-3.5.0/bin:$PATH

to add /Users/user1/Documents/apache-maven-3.5.0/bin to the PATH list

  • Permanent environment variables are stored at .bash_profile

Now I want to know in MacOS Monterey, which location used for storing temporary environment variables, which location used for storing permanent environment variables?

macosenvironment-variables
