<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The Environment Variable APIs provide the getenv() (Get Value of Environment
Variable) function necessary to retrieve environment variables in ILE C. Therefore,
programs written in ILE C do not need to use the QtmhGetEnv() API. This API,
for ILE C, is more difficult to use (and is slower) than the getenv() API
on which it is based.</div>
