hi all, i want to know if is there a way to set environment variable inside unix c program and that environment variable remain even when the program ends.
if i have a code like this
main()
{
putenv("HOME=/usr/name");
printf( "%sn", getenv("HOME") );
return( 0 );
}
the environment variable HOME is set, only when the program is running, how about it retail its value even when the program ends
Thanks,
Norvin

Hi,
Try to run your C-program within the "current shell" by
executing it like this:
. ./programName
Best regards
Frank
