  25
  26 ;; UNIX processes inherit a list of name-to-string associations from their
  27 ;; parents called their `environment'; these are commonly used to control
  28 ;; program options.  This package permits you to set environment variables
  29 ;; to be passed to any sub-process run under Emacs.
  30
  31 ;; Note that the environment string `process-environment' is not
  32 ;; decoded, but the args of `setenv' and `getenv' are normally
  33 ;; multibyte text and get coding conversion.
