If a variable name matches, <> returns a pointer to the associated value. RETURNS A pointer to the (string) value of the environment variable, or <> if there is no such environment variable. PORTABILITY <> is ANSI, but the rules for properly forming names of environment variables vary from one system to another. This function is not thread-safe, but does it need to be?? There is an reentrant class that should be used if reentrance is required */ #include #include #include #include static char envbuf[256]; char *getenv(const char *name) { int handle; char *ptr = 0; handle = RdosOpenSysEnv(); if (handle) { if (RdosFindEnvVar(handle, name, envbuf)) ptr = envbuf; } RdosCloseEnv(handle); return ptr; }
