curl_getenv(3) libcurl Manual curl_getenv(3)NAMEcurl_getenv - return value for environment name
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_getenv(const char *name);
DESCRIPTIONcurl_getenv() is a portable wrapper for the getenv() func-
tion, meant to emulate its behaviour and provide an iden-
tical interface for all operating systems libcurl builds
on (including win32).
RETURN VALUE
If successful, curl_getenv() returns a pointer to the
value of the specified environment. The memory it refers
to is malloc()ed why the application must free() this when
the data has completed to serve its purpose. When
curl_getenv() 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 implemen-
tation thus have to suffer slightly from the drawbacks of
other systems.
