40 * This getenv function is safe to call before the C runtime is initialized.
41 * On Windows, it utilizes GetEnvironmentVariable() and on unix it uses
42 * /proc/self/environ instead calling getenv(). It's intended to be used in
43 * routines that run before main(), when the state required for getenv() may
44 * not be set up yet. In particular, errno isn't set up until relatively late
45 * (after the pthreads library has a chance to make it threadsafe), and
46 * getenv() doesn't work until then.
47 * On some platforms, this call will utilize the same, static buffer for
48 * repeated GetenvBeforeMain() calls. Callers should not expect pointers from
49 * this routine to be long lived.
50 * Note that on unix, /proc only has the environment at the time the
51 * application was started, so this routine ignores setenv() calls/etc. Also
52 * note it only reads the first 16K of the environment.
53 *
54 * NOTE: this is version of GetenvBeforeMain that's usable from
55 * C. Implementation is in sysinfo.cc
