Filters out for the scope of the block, the environment variables proposed by Jenkins except the ones listed. These are available to any external processes spawned within that scope. For example:

node {
  env.CUSTOM=test
  env.INFO=useful
  keepEnv(['INFO']) {
    // at this point the CUSTOM will not be available
    bat 'echo %INFO%'
  }
}

See the documentation for the env singleton for more information on environment variables.
