And Junio C Hamano writes:
- putenv(3) says
- The string pointed to by string becomes part of the environment,
- so altering the string changes the environment.
Good catch, thanks. The Solaris man page first says the
string space is "no longer used", but at the very end warns
against using an automatic variable. Chalk one up for lousy
docs.
(And sizeof(char) is just habit; 99% of my mallocs aren't of
char... Sorry.)
