+** PR_GetEnv() -- Retrieve value of environment variable
+**
+** Description:
+** PR_GetEnv() is modeled on Unix getenv().
+**
+**
+** Inputs:
+** var -- The name of the environment variable
+**
+** Returns:
+** The value of the environment variable 'var' or NULL if
+** the variable is undefined.
+**
+** Restrictions:
+** You'd think that a POSIX getenv(), putenv() would be
+** consistently implemented everywhere. Surprise! It is not. On
+** some platforms, a putenv() where the argument is of
+** the form "name" causes the named environment variable to
+** be un-set; that is: a subsequent getenv() returns NULL. On
+** other platforms, the putenv() fails, on others, it is a
+** no-op. Similarly, a putenv() where the argument is of the
+** form "name=" causes the named environment variable to be
+** un-set; a subsequent call to getenv() returns NULL. On
+** other platforms, a subsequent call to getenv() returns a
+** pointer to a null-string (a byte of zero).
+**
+** PR_GetEnv(), PR_SetEnv() provide a consistent behavior
+** across all supported platforms. There are, however, some
+** restrictions and some practices you must use to achieve
+** consistent results everywhere.
+**
+** When manipulating the environment there is no way to un-set
+** an environment variable across all platforms. We suggest
+** you interpret the return of a pointer to null-string to
+** mean the same as a return of NULL from PR_GetEnv().
+**
+** A call to PR_SetEnv() where the parameter is of the form
+** "name" will return PR_FAILURE; the environment remains
+** unchanged. A call to PR_SetEnv() where the parameter is
+** of the form "name=" may un-set the envrionment variable on
+** some platforms; on others it may set the value of the
+** environment variable to the null-string.
+**
+** For example, to test for NULL return or return of the
+** null-string from PR_GetEnv(), use the following code
+** fragment:
+**
+** char *val = PR_GetEnv("foo");
+** if ((NULL == val) || ('\0' == *val)) {
+** ... interpret this as un-set ...
+** }
+**
+** The caller must ensure that the string passed
+** to PR_SetEnv() is persistent. That is: The string should
+** not be on the stack, where it can be overwritten
+** on return from the function calling PR_SetEnv().
+** Similarly, the string passed to PR_SetEnv() must not be
+** overwritten by other actions of the process. ... Some
+** platforms use the string by reference rather than copying
+** it into the environment space. ... You have been warned!
+**
+** Use of platform-native functions that manipulate the
+** environment (getenv(), putenv(),
+** SetEnvironmentVariable(), etc.) must not be used with
+** NSPR's similar functions. The platform-native functions
+** may not be thread safe and/or may operate on different
+** conceptual environment space than that operated upon by
+** NSPR's functions or other environment manipulating
+** functions on the same platform. (!)
