setenv(3C) setenv(3C)
NAME
setenv(), unsetenv() - add, update or remove an environment variable
SYNOPSIS
Parameters
envname Points to a string containing the name of an environment variable to be added or altered. This should not be a NULL
pointer or null string, and the string should not contain an equal character.
envval Points to a string containing the value to be set for the variable envname.
overwrite Indicates whether to overwrite the value of envname variable or not, if it already exists. Expected values are non-zero
and zero. If the environment variable does not exist in the environment, then the value of this variable is ignored.
DESCRIPTION
and functions update the environment of the calling process.
If envname does not exist, the function ignores the value of overwrite and adds the variable envname to the environment with the value
envval. If envname exists and overwrite is non-zero, then the variable envname is updated with the new value envval. If envname exists
and overwrite is zero, then the variable is not updated, and the function is considered to have completed successfully.
The function deletes the variable envname from the environment, if it exists. If the envname variable does not exist in the current envi-
ronment, the environment is unchanged, and the function is considered to have completed successfully.
If the application modifies environ or the pointers to which it points, the behavior of and is undefined.
