NAME
clearenv - clear the environmentSYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> int clearenv(void);
DESCRIPTION
The clearenv() function clears the environment of all name-value pairs and sets the value of the external variable environ to NULL.RETURN VALUE
The clearenv() function returns zero on success, and a non-zero value on failure.AVAILABILITY
Not in libc4, libc5. In glibc since glibc 2.0.CONFORMING TO
Various Unix variants (DG/UX, HP-UX, 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, POSIX.1-2001 only adds putenv(), and rejected clearenv().NOTES
Used in security-conscious applications. If it is unavailable the assignment-
environ = NULL;
The DG/UX 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.
