NAME 
getenv, setenv, unsetenv - manipulate environmental
variables
SYNOPSIS 
char *getenv(name) 
const char *name;
int setenv(name, value,
overwrite) 
const char *name, value; 
int overwrite;
void unsetenv(name) 
const char *name;
DESCRIPTION 
Getenv searches the environment list (see environ(7)) for a
string 
of the form name=value and returns a pointer to the string
value if 
such a string is present, and 0 (NULL) if it is not.
Setenv searches the environment
list as getenv does; if the string 
name is not found, a string of the form name=value is added
to the 
environment. If it is found, and overwrite is non-zero, its
value 
is changed to value. Setenv returns 0 on success and -1 on
failure, where failure is caused by an inability to allocate
space 
for the environment.
Unsetenv removes all occurrences
of the string name from the 
environment. There is no library provision for completely
removing 
the current environment. It is suggested that the following
code 
be used to do so.
static char *envinit[1]; 
extern char **environ; 
environ = envinit;
All of these routines permit,
but do not require, a trailing equals 
("=") sign on name or a leading equals sign on
value.
