C语言通过putenv和getenv函数来访问环境变量。
#include<stdlib.h>
char *getenv(const char *name);
int putenv(const char *string);
环境是由一组格式为“名字=值”的字符串组成。
getenv函数以给定的名字搜索环境中的一个字符串,并返回与该名字相关的值。如果请求不存在,就返回NULL。
由于getenv返回的字符串存储在静态空间,所以想进一步利用它,就必须拷贝出来。
// 1 The first few lines after the declaration of main ensure that the program, environ.c, has been called correctly. #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char *var, *value; if(argc == 1 || argc > 3) { fprintf(stderr,"usage: environ var [value]\n"); exit(1); } // 2 That done, we fetch the value of the variable from the environment, using getenv. var = argv[1]; value = getenv(var); if(value) printf("Variable %s has value %s\n", var, value); else printf("Variable %s has no value\n", var); // 3 Next, we check whether the program was called with a second argument. If it was, we set the variable to the value of that argument by constructing a string of the form name=value and then calling putenv. if(argc == 3) { char *string; value = argv[2]; string = malloc(strlen(var)+strlen(value)+2); if(!string) { fprintf(stderr,"out of memory\n"); exit(1); } strcpy(string,var); strcat(string,"="); strcat(string,value); printf("Calling putenv with: %s\n",string); if(putenv(string) != 0) { fprintf(stderr,"putenv failed\n"); free(string); exit(1); } // 4 Finally, we discover the new value of the variable by calling getenv once again. value = getenv(var); if(value) printf("New value of %s is %s\n", var, value); else printf("New value of %s is null??\n", var); } exit(0); }
./environ HOME
Variable HOME has value /home/zq
./environ qq
Varliable qq has no value
./environ zq qq
Varliable zq has no value
Calling putenv with: zq=qq
New value of zq is qq
./environ zq
Varliable zq has no value
