Digital UNIX Diffs - getenv(5)			Digital UNIX Diffs - getenv(5)

NAME
       getenv -	 Returns the value of an environment variable

LIBRARY
	Standard C Library (Llibc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *getenv (
	       const char *name );

PARAMETERS
       Specifies the name of an environment variable.

DIFFERENCES
       vms-system(5): OpenVMS Operating System Differences

       On  OpenVMS getenv(3) maps the names: HOME, TERM, PATH, and USER to the
       value of the equivalent OpenVMS concept.	 Otherwise,  if	 DCL  is  your
       command	line  interpreter,  getenv(3)  checks for a logical having the
       name passed and returns the value of the logical.   Finding  no	match,
       genenv(3) looks for command language interpreter symbol with the speciā€
       fied name and return its value.

       UNIX simply returns the value of the environment variable or NULL.
