+.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
+.Ft char *
+.Fn getenv "const char *name"
+.Ft int
+.Fn setenv "const char *name" "const char *value" "int overwrite"
+.Ft int
+.Fn putenv "const char *string"
+.Ft void
+.Fn unsetenv "const char *name"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions set, unset and fetch environment variables from the
+host
+.Em environment list .
+For compatibility with differing environment conventions,
+the given arguments
+.Ar name
+and
+.Ar value
+may be appended and prepended, 
+respectively,
+with an equal sign
+.Dq Li \&= .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getenv
+function obtains the current value of the environment variable,
+.Ar name .
+If the variable
+.Ar name
+is not in the current environment ,
+a null pointer is returned.

+.Fn setenv
+function inserts or resets the environment variable
+.Ar name
+in the current environment list.
+If the variable
+.Ar name
+does not exist in the list,
+it is inserted with the given
+.Ar value.
+If the variable does exist, the argument
+.Ar overwrite
+is tested; if
+.Ar overwrite is
+zero, the
+variable is not reset, otherwise it is reset
+to the given
+.Ar value .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn putenv
+function takes an argument of the form ``name=value'' and is
+equivalent to:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
