DESCRIPTION
$1$2setenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenviron controls environment name=value pairs. $1$2setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron( adds name to the environment and returns a pointer to a strdup(3) copy of name=value. $1$2setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron(setenviron( removes name from the environment and returns the empty string. $1$2setenviron(0)setenviron(0)setenviron(0)setenviron(0)setenviron(0)setenviron(0)setenviron(0)setenviron(0) reserves a few slots in an internal array and is usually called by a parent process that expects many children. 0 is returned on error. $1$2setenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenvironsetenviron preserves the ksh(1) convention of $1$2________ as the first environment variable name.
