Minimum interface to access environmental parameters.
This interface allows to hide the actual operating system features used from the client program, therefore making the client program portable.
On Unix, this interface is implemented using "environment variables".
DIRECTORY
Rope USING [ROPE];
EnvironmentVariables: CEDAR DEFINITIONS =
BEGIN
Get: PROC [name: Rope.ROPE] RETURNS [Rope.ROPE];
Returns current value of environment-variable "name".
END.
