Module std::env

Inspection and manipulation of the process’s environment.

This module contains functions to inspect various aspects such as environment variables, process arguments, the current directory, and various other important directories.

There are several functions and structs in this module that have a counterpart ending in os. Those ending in os will return an OsString and those without will return a String.

Modules

• consts
  Constants associated with the current target

Structs

• Args
  An iterator over the arguments of a process, yielding a String value for each argument.
• ArgsOs
  An iterator over the arguments of a process, yielding an OsString value for each argument.
• JoinPathsError
  The error type for operations on the PATH variable. Possibly returned from env::join_paths().
• SplitPaths
  An iterator that splits an environment variable into paths according to platform-specific conventions.
• Vars
  An iterator over a snapshot of the environment variables of this process.
• VarsOs
  An iterator over a snapshot of the environment variables of this process.

Enums

• VarError
  The error type for operations interacting with environment variables. Possibly returned from env::var().

Functions

• args
  Returns the arguments that this program was started with (normally passed via the command line).
• args_os
  Returns the arguments that this program was started with (normally passed via the command line).
• current_dir
  Returns the current working directory as a PathBuf.
• current_exe
  Returns the full filesystem path of the current running executable.
• home_dirDeprecated
  Returns the path of the current user’s home directory if known.
• join_paths
  Joins a collection of Paths appropriately for the PATH environment variable.
• remove_var^⚠
  Removes an environment variable from the environment of the currently running process.
• set_current_dir
  Changes the current working directory to the specified path.
• set_var^⚠
  Sets the environment variable key to the value value for the currently running process.
• split_paths
  Parses input according to platform conventions for the PATH environment variable.
• temp_dir
  Returns the path of a temporary directory.
• var
  Fetches the environment variable key from the current process.
• var_os
  Fetches the environment variable key from the current process, returning None if the variable isn’t set or if there is another error.
• vars
  Returns an iterator of (variable, value) pairs of strings, for all the environment variables of the current process.
• vars_os
  Returns an iterator of (variable, value) pairs of OS strings, for all the environment variables of the current process.
