putenv¶
putenv creates new environment variables; modifies or removes existing ones.
-
bool = putenv(ssEnvString)
Return Value
return TRUE (1) if successful, or 0 in the case of an error.
Parameters
-
ssEnvString ssEnvString is a string.
Comment
ssEnvString is a string of the form varname=string, where varname
is the name of the environment variable to be added or modified and string is
the variable’s value. If varname is already part of the environment, its value
is replaced by string; otherwise, the new varname variable and its string value
are added to the environment. You can remove a variable from the environment by
specifying an empty string - in other words, by specifying only varname=.
The function affects only the environment that is local to the current process.
Example
ssPath = getenv("path");
putenv("path=c:\mydir;c:\mydir\mydir2;" + ssPath);
