envz_add(3) Library Functions Manual envz_add(3)
envz_add, envz_entry, envz_get, envz_merge, envz_remove,
envz_strip - environment string support
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <envz.h>
error_t envz_add(char **restrict envz, size_t *restrict envz_len,
const char *restrict name, const char *restrict value);
char *envz_entry(const char *restrict envz, size_t envz_len,
const char *restrict name);
char *envz_get(const char *restrict envz, size_t envz_len,
const char *restrict name);
error_t envz_merge(char **restrict envz, size_t *restrict envz_len,
const char *restrict envz2, size_t envz2_len,
int override);
void envz_remove(char **restrict envz, size_t *restrict envz_len,
const char *restrict name);
void envz_strip(char **restrict envz, size_t *restrict envz_len);
These functions are glibc-specific.
An argz vector is a pointer to a character buffer together with a
length, see argz_add(3). An envz vector is a special argz vector,
namely one where the strings have the form "name=value".
Everything after the first '=' is considered to be the value. If
there is no '=', the value is taken to be NULL. (While the value
in case of a trailing '=' is the empty string "".)
These functions are for handling envz vectors.
envz_add() adds the string "name=value" (in case value is non-
NULL) or "name" (in case value is NULL) to the envz vector
(*envz, *envz_len) and updates *envz and *envz_len. If an entry
with the same name existed, it is removed.
envz_entry() looks for name in the envz vector (envz, envz_len)
and returns the entry if found, or NULL if not.
envz_get() looks for name in the envz vector (envz, envz_len) and
returns the value if found, or NULL if not. (Note that the value
can also be NULL, namely when there is an entry for name without
'=' sign.)
envz_merge() adds each entry in envz2 to *envz, as if with
envz_add(). If override is true, then values in envz2 will
supersede those with the same name in *envz, otherwise not.
envz_remove() removes the entry for name from (*envz, *envz_len)
if there was one.
envz_strip() removes all entries with value NULL.
All envz functions that do memory allocation have a return type of
error_t (an integer type), and return 0 for success, and ENOMEM if
an allocation error occurs.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
