class ENV

Returns the value for the environment variable name if it exists:

ENV['foo'] = '0'
ENV['foo'] # => "0"

Returns nil if the named variable does not exist.

Raises an exception if name is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.

static VALUE
rb_f_getenv(VALUE obj, VALUE name)
{
    const char *nam = env_name(name);
    VALUE env = getenv_with_lock(nam);
    return env;
}

Creates, updates, or deletes the named environment variable, returning the value. Both name and value may be instances of String. See Valid Names and Values.

• If the named environment variable does not exist:

  • If value is nil, does nothing.

    ENV.clear
    ENV['foo'] = nil # => nil
    ENV.include?('foo') # => false
    ENV.store('bar', nil) # => nil
    ENV.include?('bar') # => false
    

  • If value is not nil, creates the environment variable with name and value:

    # Create 'foo' using ENV.[]=.
    ENV['foo'] = '0' # => '0'
    ENV['foo'] # => '0'
    # Create 'bar' using ENV.store.
    ENV.store('bar', '1') # => '1'
    ENV['bar'] # => '1'
    

• If the named environment variable exists:

  • If value is not nil, updates the environment variable with value value:

    # Update 'foo' using ENV.[]=.
    ENV['foo'] = '2' # => '2'
    ENV['foo'] # => '2'
    # Update 'bar' using ENV.store.
    ENV.store('bar', '3') # => '3'
    ENV['bar'] # => '3'
    

  • If value is nil, deletes the environment variable:

    # Delete 'foo' using ENV.[]=.
    ENV['foo'] = nil # => nil
    ENV.include?('foo') # => false
    # Delete 'bar' using ENV.store.
    ENV.store('bar', nil) # => nil
    ENV.include?('bar') # => false
    

Raises an exception if name or value is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.

static VALUE
env_aset_m(VALUE obj, VALUE nm, VALUE val)
{
    return env_aset(nm, val);
}

Returns a 2-element Array containing the name and value of the environment variable for name if it exists:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1')
ENV.assoc('foo') # => ['foo', '0']

Returns nil if name is a valid String and there is no such environment variable.

Returns nil if name is the empty String or is a String containing character '='.

Raises an exception if name is a String containing the NUL character "\0":

ENV.assoc("\0") # Raises ArgumentError (bad environment variable name: contains null byte)

Raises an exception if name has an encoding that is not ASCII-compatible:

ENV.assoc("\xa1\xa1".force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_16LE))
# Raises ArgumentError (bad environment variable name: ASCII incompatible encoding: UTF-16LE)

Raises an exception if name is not a String:

ENV.assoc(Object.new) # TypeError (no implicit conversion of Object into String)

static VALUE
env_assoc(VALUE env, VALUE key)
{
    const char *s = env_name(key);
    VALUE e = getenv_with_lock(s);

    if (!NIL_P(e)) {
        return rb_assoc_new(key, e);
    }
    else {
        return Qnil;
    }
}

Removes every environment variable; returns ENV:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1')
ENV.size # => 2
ENV.clear # => ENV
ENV.size # => 0

static VALUE
env_clear(VALUE _)
{
    return rb_env_clear();
}

Raises TypeError, because ENV is a wrapper for the process-wide environment variables and a clone is useless. Use to_h to get a copy of ENV data as a hash.

static VALUE
env_clone(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj)
{
    if (argc) {
        VALUE opt;
        if (rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "0:", &opt) < argc) {
            rb_get_freeze_opt(1, &opt);
        }
    }

    rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "Cannot clone ENV, use ENV.to_h to get a copy of ENV as a hash");
}

Deletes the environment variable with name if it exists and returns its value:

ENV['foo'] = '0'
ENV.delete('foo') # => '0'

If a block is not given and the named environment variable does not exist, returns nil.

If a block given and the environment variable does not exist, yields name to the block and returns the value of the block:

ENV.delete('foo') { |name| name * 2 } # => "foofoo"

If a block given and the environment variable exists, deletes the environment variable and returns its value (ignoring the block):

ENV['foo'] = '0'
ENV.delete('foo') { |name| raise 'ignored' } # => "0"

Raises an exception if name is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.

static VALUE
env_delete_m(VALUE obj, VALUE name)
{
    VALUE val;

    val = env_delete(name);
    if (NIL_P(val) && rb_block_given_p()) val = rb_yield(name);
    return val;
}

Yields each environment variable name and its value as a 2-element Array, deleting each environment variable for which the block returns a truthy value, and returning ENV (regardless of whether any deletions):

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
ENV.delete_if { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => ENV
ENV # => {"foo"=>"0"}
ENV.delete_if { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => ENV

Returns an Enumerator if no block given:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
e = ENV.delete_if # => #<Enumerator: {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2", "foo"=>"0"}:delete_if!>
e.each { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => ENV

{
    RETURN_SIZED_ENUMERATOR(ehash, 0, 0, rb_env_size);

{
    rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "Cannot dup ENV, use ENV.to_h to get a copy of ENV as a hash");

If name is the name of an environment variable, returns its value:

ENV['foo'] = '0'
ENV.fetch('foo') # => '0'

Otherwise if a block is given (but not a default value), yields name to the block and returns the block’s return value:

For a duplicate ENV value, overwrites the hash entry:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '0')
ENV.invert # => {"0"=>"foo"}

Note that the order of the ENV processing is OS-dependent, which means that the order of overwriting is also OS-dependent. See About Ordering.

With no block, returns a Hash containing all name/value pairs from ENV:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1')
ENV.to_h # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}

With a block, returns a Hash whose items are determined by the block. Each name/value pair in ENV is yielded to the block. The block must return a 2-element Array (name/value pair) that is added to the return Hash as a key and value:

ENV.to_h { |name, value| [name.to_sym, value.to_i] } # => {:bar=>1, :foo=>0}

Raises an exception if the block does not return an Array:

For an already-existing name, if no block given, overwrites the ENV value:

ENV.merge!('foo' => '4') # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"4"}

For an already-existing name, if block given, yields the name, its ENV value, and its hash value; the block’s return value becomes the new name:

ENV.merge!('foo' => '5') { |name, env_val, hash_val | env_val + hash_val } # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"45"}

Raises an exception if a name or value is invalid (see Invalid Names and Values);

Returns true if value is the value for some environment variable name, false otherwise:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1')
ENV.value?('0') # => true
ENV.has_value?('0') # => true
ENV.value?('2') # => false
ENV.has_value?('2') # => false

Returns all environment variable values in an Array:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1')
ENV.values # => ['1', '0']

The order of the values is OS-dependent. See About Ordering.

Returns the empty Array if ENV is empty.

static VALUE
env_f_values(VALUE _)
{
    return env_values();
}

Returns an Array containing the environment variable values associated with the given names:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
ENV.values_at('foo', 'baz') # => ["0", "2"]

Returns nil in the Array for each name that is not an ENV name:

ENV.values_at('foo', 'bat', 'bar', 'bam') # => ["0", nil, "1", nil]

Returns an empty Array if no names given.

Raises an exception if any name is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.
