<h2>Qp0zGetSysEnv()--Get Value of System-Level Environment Variable</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 60%;">

&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax
<pre>
#include &lt;qp0z1170.h&gt;
int Qp0zGetSysEnv(const char <em>*name</em>,
char <em>*value</em>, int <em>*value_size</em>,
int <em>*ccsid</em>, void <em>*reserved</em>);

<!-- iddvc RMBR -->

<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Yes<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>Qp0zGetSysEnv()</strong> function gets the <samp>value</samp> of
a system-level environment variable <samp>name</samp> by searching the
system-level environment variable list for a string of the form <samp>
name=value</samp>. The <samp>value</samp> and the coded character set
identifier (CCSID) associated with the environment variable <samp>name</samp>
are returned.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>None</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>name</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The name of an environment variable.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>value</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input/Output) The address of the buffer to receive the <samp>
value</samp>.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>value_size</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input/Output) A pointer to an integer that contains the information about
the size of the <samp>value</samp> buffer. Before calling <strong>
Qp0zGetSysEnv()</strong>, this parameter should contain the size of the <samp>
value</samp> buffer. If the size of this parameter is large enough to receive
the <samp>value</samp>, then this field will contain the exact size of <samp>
value</samp> upon returning from <strong>Qp0zGetSysEnv()</strong>. If the size
of this parameter is not large enough to receive the <samp>value</samp>, then
this field will contain the exact size required and ENOSPC will be the return
value. In this case, the <samp>value</samp> buffer is not modified.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>ccsid</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input/Output) The address of the variable to receive the CCSID associated
with this variable.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>reserved</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Reserved for future use. Currently, the only allowed value is
NULL.</dd>
</dl>

<h3>Return Value</h3>

<td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Qp0zGetSysEnv()</strong> successfully

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>Qp0zGetSysEnv()</strong> is not successful, <em>errval</em>
indicates one of the following errors.</p>
<dl compact>
<dt><em>[EFAULT]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The address used for an argument is not correct.</p>
<p>In attempting to use an argument in a call, the system detected an address
that is not valid.</p>
<p>While attempting to access a parameter passed to this function, the system
detected an address that is not valid.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p>
<p>A function was passed incorrect argument values, or an operation was
attempted on an object and the operation specified is not supported for that
type of object.</p>
<p>An argument value is not valid, out of range, or NULL.</p>
<p>The value for the <em>reserved</em> parameter was not NULL.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ENOENT]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>No such path or directory.</p>
<p>The directory or a component of the path name specified does not exist.</p>
<p>A named file or directory does not exist or is an empty string.</p>
<p>No entry found for name specified.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ENOSPC]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>No space available.</p>
<p>The requested operations required additional space on the device and there
is no space left. This could also be caused by exceeding the user profile
storage limit when creating or transferring ownership of an object.</p>
<p>Insufficient space remains to hold the intended file, directory, or
link.</p>
<p>The size of the <em>value</em> buffer was not big enough to receive the
value.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EUNKNOWN]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Unknown system state.</p>
<p>The operation failed because of an unknown system state. See any messages in
the job log and correct any errors that are indicated, then retry the
operation.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
