.TH curl_getenv 3 "30 April 2004" "libcurl 7.12" "libcurl Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_getenv - return value for environment name
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
char *curl_getenv(const char *name);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
curl_getenv() is a portable wrapper for the getenv() function, meant to
|
|
emulate its behavior and provide an identical interface for all operating
|
|
systems libcurl builds on (including win32).
|
|
|
|
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you are done with it.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
.nf
|
|
char *width = curl_getenv("COLUMNS");
|
|
if(width) {
|
|
/* it was set! */
|
|
curl_free(width);
|
|
}
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
Always
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
A pointer to a null-terminated string or NULL if it failed to find the
|
|
specified name.
|
|
.SH NOTE
|
|
Under unix operating systems, there is no point in returning an allocated
|
|
memory, although other systems will not work properly if this is not done. The
|
|
unix implementation thus has to suffer slightly from the drawbacks of other
|
|
systems.
