Originální popis anglicky:
clearenv - clear the environment
Návod, kniha: Library Functions Manual
#include <stdlib.h>
int clearenv(void);
The
clearenv() function clears the environment of all name-value pairs
and sets the value of the external variable
environ to NULL.
The
clearenv() function returns zero on success, and a non-zero value on
failure.
Not in libc4, libc5. In glibc since glibc 2.0.
Various Unix variants (DGUX, HPUX, QNX, ...). POSIX.9 (bindings for FORTRAN77).
POSIX.1-1996 did not accept
clearenv() and
putenv(), but changed
its mind and scheduled these functions for some later issue of this standard
(cf. B.4.6.1). However, SUSv3 only adds
putenv(), and rejected
clearenv().
Used in security-conscious applications. If it is unavailable the assignment
will probably do.
The DGUX and Tru64 manpages write: If
environ has been modified by
anything other than the
putenv(),
getenv(), or
clearenv()
functions, then
clearenv() will return an error and the process
environment will remain unchanged.
