Function std::env::var_os1.0.0[][src]

pub fn var_os<K: AsRef<OsStr>>(key: K) -> Option<OsString>
Expand description

Fetches the environment variable key from the current process, returning None if the variable isn’t set or there’s another error.

Note that the method will not check if the environment variable is valid Unicode. If you want to have an error on invalid UTF-8, use the var function instead.

Errors

Returns [None] if the variable isn’t set. May return [None] if the variable value contains the NUL character.

Examples

use std::env;

let key = "HOME";
match env::var_os(key) {
    Some(val) => println!("{}: {:?}", key, val),
    None => println!("{} is not defined in the environment.", key)
}
