Env provides an interface to manipulate environment variables
which may then be shared between processes. Getenv returns
the value of the environment variable var passed as a parame‐
ter, or nil if the variable is not set. It does this by read‐
ing the contents of /env/var. Setenv sets the value of the
environment variable var to val. The value may be nil to
unset the variable. It does this by writing the string val to
/env/var. The routine returns a negative number if it fails
to set the variable for any reason. Getall returns all the
variables in the current environment as a list of (variable,
value) pairs. Clone copies the current environment and
places the process in a new environment group. Changes now
made to the environment will not affect the environment of
other processes. New places the process in a new empty envi‐
ronment group. Changes made in this new environment will not
affect other processes.
