46 * As per the UNIX spec,
47 * "The return value from getenv() may point to static data which may be overwritten by subsequent calls to getenv(), setenv(), or unsetenv()."
48 * Source: Unix Manual Pages for getenv, IEEE Std 1003.1
50 * This means that using pointers returned from getenv may (and does) lead to many
51 * pointers which refer to the same piece of memory. When one is freed, all will be freed.
53 * This is unsafe and an ergonomics risk to fix in the callers. While the caller could lock,
54 * this introduces the risk for looping or exiting while inside of a lock. For this reason,
55 * g_getenv does not mimic the behavior of POSIX getenv anymore.
57 * The memory address returned will be unique to the invocaton, and must be freed.

73 * This function checks if the given variable is non-NULL
74 * in the environment. It's useful because it removes memory
75 * freeing requirements.
