getenv()

Returns a string representing the configuration variable value. If the name of the configuration file is given, then the configuration variable values are obtained from the named environment file. If the name of the configuration variable is not specified, an application-specific default is used.

See also: expandenv(), setenv().

Syntax:

getenv(name[, conf]);

where

name is the name of configuration variable.

conf is optional. Name of configuration file to use. In an attempt to locate the file, the program searches the following directories, in this order: project directory, home directory, custom directory, installation directory. The file name should be specified without a trailing .cfg. Entering a path for this file is not allowed.

Example:

decl val;
val = getenv("LAYERS_PATH");
