bwaaaa why do i need to use glibc or #define _GNU_SOURCE for accessing env vars via char** environ

@thing why not just getenv? (or forking then systeming env and reading from stdout)

@kemona_halftau i could also do that i…guess

@kemona_halftau
also, do i just use setenv for the reverse?

@thing btw have you used fork in the past?

@thing i dont know, but if you want to set environment variables for subprocesses there are the exec[somethingsomething]e calls

@kemona_halftau …no

@thing sadly i dont think it is possible to change environment variables for the parent process

@kemona_halftau i’m new to doing some “system-y” c(++)

@thing @kemona_halftau yes but beware that setenv is not thread-safe

@noisytoot @kemona_halftau well idrc
i’m just writing a tiny wrapper program
