+/* NAME
+/* clean_env 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* clean up the environment
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <clean_env.h>
+/*
+/* void clean_env(preserve_list)
+/* const char **preserve_list;
+/*
+/* void update_env(preserve_list)
+/* const char **preserve_list;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* clean_env() reduces the process environment to the bare minimum.
+/* The function takes a null-terminated list of arguments.
+/* Each argument specifies the name of an environment variable
+/* that should be preserved, or specifies a name=value that should
+/* be entered into the new environment.
+/*
+/* update_env() applies name=value settings, but otherwise does not
+/* change the process environment.
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* Fatal error: out of memory.
+/* SEE ALSO
+/* safe_getenv(3), guarded getenv()
