RE: Environment variable doubt

You can also declare your programs main function as

int main(int argc, char** argv, char** env)

You will then get your environment variables as a zero-terminated array
of character pointers, pointing to variable-value pairs in the format

VARIABLE=value

That will give you access to every environment variable defined in your
program's environment.

Thanks,

Hi Bharati,
Could you give some more details about it.... like return type etc.

Anyways, i just tried : char* x = environ();

it gave me an error saying environ() cannot be used as a function.
