28 <<getenv>>---look up environment variable
37 char *getenv(const char *<[name]>);
40 <<getenv>> searches the list of environment variable names and values
41 (using the global pointer ``<<char **environ>>'') for a variable whose
42 name matches the string at <[name]>. If a variable name matches,
43 <<getenv>> returns a pointer to the associated value.
46 A pointer to the (string) value of the environment variable, or
47 <<NULL>> if there is no such environment variable.
50 <<getenv>> is ANSI, but the rules for properly forming names of environment
51 variables vary from one system to another.
53 This function is not thread-safe, but does it need to be??
54 There is an reentrant class that should be used if reentrance is required
