Re: Where is environ?

Probably not in stdlib.h to discourage the use of the extern.
The "normal" way to get the environment is through the third argument to
main. The following program builds on darwin and shows that the extern is
indeed there, and the third main arg is indeed the same value.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
extern char **environ;
printf("%lX %lX\n", environ, envp);
}
