cgiwrap_putenv(3)

💖 cgiwrap_putenv(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this one lives in the cgi/cgiwrap.h manual, and it's literally just a little glow-up wrapper around putenv. tiny page, huge slay. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

cgiwrap_putenv — wrap the putenv call

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <cgi/cgiwrap.h>

NEOERR *cgiwrap_putenv (const char *k, const char *v);

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• k — the env var name. like, the name name. the label on the jar 🎀
• v — the new value for env var k. the actual contents, the main character of the jar ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so cgiwrap_putenv wraps the putenv call. that's it, that's the vibe. it's mostly used by the cgi_debug_init function to cook up an artificial environment — fake it till you make it energy fr fr 💅

here's the thing though, and it's giving iconic: this version differs from the system version by having separate arguments for the variable name and value. so instead of one big string you gotta hand-parse, you get k and v as two whole separate little guys. which makes life easier for the caller (usually — usually, bestie, they said usually 😭), and it keeps most wrapping callbacks from having to implement a parser just to pull the name and the value apart. no parser required, no suffering, we love that for us 🌸

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

None. literally nothing. it's not returning anything, it's just out here doing its job and leaving 👑
