Userenv is documented in the sql language reference manual, chapter 3, functions....

USERENV
Syntax USERENV(option)
Returns information of VARCHAR2 datatype about the current session. This information can be useful for writing an application–specific audit trail table or for determining the language–specific characters currently used by your session. You cannot use USERENV in the condition of a CHECK constraint. The argument option can have any of these values:

’OSDBA’
’LABEL’
’LANGUAGE’
’TERMINAL’
’SESSIONID’
’ENTRYID’
’CLIENT_INFO’
’LANG’ (see the manual for their descriptions...)
