Not sure where else to ask, I've tried a myriad of IRC channels, etc to
no avail. So I figured I'd ask here, seeing as how the broad range of
people who are on this list will most likely have someone who's done
this before me.
What I need to know, is how to access an environment variable from C. I
usually program in PERL, and have a very limited amount of experience
with C/C++. This will be my first attempt at creating an application. I
am trying to convert something I wrote in PERL to C.
It's a simple CGI script, which accesses a few server-side environment
variables. In PERL for example, I can access the value of HTTP_REFERER,
using the hash of environment variables, and the key HTTP_REFERER; like
so: $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}. However I want to try and do the same from C,
but that far have been unable to figure out how to call upon environment
variables.
In short, if anyone could provide me a quick blotch of code, (say a
declaration, and an assignment), which demonstrates the usage of an
environment variable it would be much appreciated.
