NAME
     getenv - return value for environment name

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdlib.h>

     char *getenv (name)
     char *name;

DESCRIPTION
     getenv searches the environment list [see environ(5)] for a
     string of the form name=value, and returns a pointer to the
     value in the current environment if such a string is
     present, otherwise a NULL pointer.

CAVEAT
     The return value points to static data whose content is
     overwritten by each call.
