ENV 2
NAME
env - environment module
SYNOPSIS
.EX
include "env.m";
env = load Env Env->PATH;
getenv: fn(var: string): string;
setenv: fn(var: string, val: string): int;
getall: fn(): list of (string, string);
clone: fn(): int;
new: fn(): int;
DESCRIPTION
Env provides an interface to manipulate environment variables which may then be shared
between processes.
Getenv returns the value of the environment variable
var passed as a parameter,
or
nil if the variable is not set. It does
this by reading the contents of
/env/ var. Setenv sets the value of the environment variable
var to
val. The value may be nil to unset the variable. It does this by writing the string
val to
/env/ var. The routine returns a negative number if it fails to set the variable for any reason.
Getall returns all the variables in the current environment as a list of (variable, value) pairs.
Clone copies the current environment and places the process in a new environment group. Changes now
made to the environment will not affect the environment of other processes.
New places the process in a new empty environment group. Changes made in this new environment will
not affect other processes.
