NAME

clearenv — clear the process environment

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdlib.h>

int clearenv(void);

DESCRIPTION

clearenv() clears the process environment. No environment variables are defined immediately after a call to clearenv().

clearenv() modifies the value of the pointer environ. This means that copies of that pointer are invalid after a call to clearenv().

APPLICATION USAGE

clearenv() is thread-safe. It is not async-cancel-safe.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, clearenv() returns zero; otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

clearenv() fails if the following condition is encountered:

[ENOMEM]

Failed to free or reallocate memory for the process environment.
