.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_vputenvf ()
function constructs a string using the
.BR vsprintf (3)
function, and adds it to the environment, overriding
its old value if it already exists. The string shall be on
the format \fB\(dq\fP\fIname\fP\fB=\fP\fIvalue\fP\fB\(dq\fP;
however this is not strictly enforced, see
.BR NOTES .
The parameter
.I fmt
is used as the format string for the
.BR vsprintf (3)
function, and the parameter
.I ap
is used as the formatting arguments.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_putenvf ()
function is a version of the
.BR libsimple_vputenvf ()
function that uses variadic arguments instead of
.BR va_list .
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_envputenvf ()
and
.BR libsimple_evputenvf ()
functions are versions of the
.BR libsimple_vputenvf ()
function that call the
.BR libsimple_enprintf (3)
function on failure, causing the process to print
an error message and exit. See
.BR libsimple_enprintf (3)
for more information.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enputenvf ()
and
.BR libsimple_eputenvf ()
functions are versions of the
.BR libsimple_putenvf ()
function that call the
.BR libsimple_enprintf (3)
function on failure, causing the process to print
an error message and exit. See
.BR libsimple_enprintf ()
for more information.
.PP
Modifications made to the environment do not become
visible to other process until the process image is
changed.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the
.BR libsimple_vputenvf ()
and
.BR libsimple_putenvf ()
functions return 0; otherwise, they return \-1 and set
.I errno
to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_vputenvf ()
and
.BR libsimple_putenvf ()
functions will fail if:
.TP
.B EINVAL
The construct string is empty or starts with the
.B '='
character.
.TP
.B ENOMEM
Insufficient memory was available.
.PP
They may also fail for any reason specified for the
.BR vsnprintf (3)
function.

.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
.SH NOTES
If the construct does not contain the
.B '='
character, it may still be added to the environment,
however this can cause problem for some programs, and
the behaviour is unspecified when countered by the
.BR getenv (3),
.BR putenv (3),
.BR setenv (3),
and
.BR unsetenv (3)
functions.
.SH BUGS
There is no mechanism for detecting which entries in the
environment are statically allocated and which are
dynamically allocated, this can lead to memory leaks
with are detected by
.BR valgrind (1).
