💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, we’re in qlibs:(env) and this whole page is about env — manage variables in the environment. that’s the assignment, and it’s lowkey iconic. ✨

🛠️ SYNTAX 🛠️

#include "env.h"

char **environ;

char *env_put(char *NAME,char *value);
char *env_puts(char *NAME=value);
char *env_set(char *NAME=value);
char *env_unset(char *NAME);
char *env_get(char *NAME);
char *env_pick();
char *env_clear();

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The environment, environ, is a 0-terminated array of 0-terminated strings, called environment variables. each environment variable is of the form NAME=value. that’s the whole vibe check. 🫶

here’s the function lineup, bestie — no cap, every one is doing her own little job:

• env_puts — puts the string NAME=value into the environment. slay, string delivered. 💌
• env_put — assigns the new environment variable NAME with value. fresh variable, main character entrance. 👑
• env_set — assigns an existing environment variable NAME with value: NAME=value. note the “existing” bestie, we’re not making a new one here. 💅
• env_unset — unsets an existing environment variable given as NAME. bye-bye, variable. 👋
• env_get — returns the assigned value of the first variable whose name is NAME, or 0 if there is no such variable. first match wins, and if nobody’s home, it’s 0. 🔍
• env_pick — returns any variable in the environment, or 0 if the environment is empty. little random pick-me energy, but make it Unix. 🎲
• env_clear — clears the whole environment. like, the entire thing. poof. 💀
