I second that notion. There's no point to moving the BSDs over to a distribution-style ideology. They're fine as complete operating systems.

I use GNU (parted)set to change boot flags when doing multibooting.
Alas, FreeBSD does not have GNU parted, out of the box.
Is there a way to set/remove flags quickly and easily from the command line in BSD? I'm still learning all the 'unique' BSD utilities. (7 Replies)

curl_getenv
curl_getenv(3) libcurl Manual curl_getenv(3)
NAME
curl_getenv - return value for environment name
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_getenv(const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
curl_getenv() is a portable wrapper for the getenv() function, meant to emulate its behaviour and provide an identical interface for all
operating systems libcurl builds on (including win32).
AVAILABILITY
This function will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near future. It will instead be made "available" by source code access only,
and then as curlx_getenv().
RETURN VALUE
If successful, curl_getenv() returns a pointer to the value of the specified environment. The memory it refers to is malloc()ed so the
application must free() this when the data is no longer needed. When curl_getenv(3) fails to find the specified name, it returns a null
pointer.
NOTE
Under unix operating systems, there isn't any point in returning an allocated memory, although other systems won't work properly if this
isn't done. The unix implementation thus has to suffer slightly from the drawbacks of other systems.
