+.SH NAME
+/proc/pid/environ \- initial environment
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.IR /proc/ pid /environ
+This file contains the initial environment that was set
+when the currently executing program was started via
+.BR execve (2).
+The entries are separated by null bytes (\[aq]\e0\[aq]),
+and there may be a null byte at the end.
+Thus, to print out the environment of process 1, you would do:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.RB "$" " cat /proc/1/environ | tr \[aq]\e000\[aq] \[aq]\en\[aq]"
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+If, after an
+.BR execve (2),
+the process modifies its environment
+(e.g., by calling functions such as
+.BR putenv (3)
+or modifying the
+.BR environ (7)
+variable directly),
+this file will
+.I not
+reflect those changes.
+.IP
+Furthermore, a process may change the memory location that this file refers via
+.BR prctl (2)
+operations such as
+.BR PR_SET_MM_ENV_START .
+.IP
+Permission to access this file is governed by a ptrace access mode
+.B PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS
+check; see
+.BR ptrace (2).
