3963 :: How do I read os environment variables?

• markprocess (orginal) [2018-06-22T09:39:54+02:00] view original

  I can't find the answer on this page:

  https://nim-lang.org/docs/os.html

  This module contains basic operating system facilities like retrieving environment variables, reading command line arguments, working with directories, running shell commands, etc.

  Thanks, Mark

  I typically use DevDocs or TheIndex to search for such stuff.

  The answer is ospaths: https://nim-lang.org/docs/ospaths.html#getEnv,string,string.

  FYI: ospaths is exported by os so you can just import os and you'll be able to use everything from ospaths too.
