memory allocated with <a href="../man3/malloc.html"><i>malloc</i>(3)</a>, 0-terminates it, and returns
a pointer to that area. If no file exists, 0 is returned.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>

<i>putenv</i> are preprocessor macros defined as <i>p9getenv</i> and <i>p9putenv</i>;
see <a href="../man3/intro.html"><i>intro</i>(3)</a>.<br>
