PXFSETENV - Sets environment variable pair

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.22. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.19.

NAME
     PXFSETENV - Sets environment variable pair

SYNOPSIS
     CHARACTER*n name, new
     INTEGER len, name, lennew, ioverwrite, ierror
     CALL PXFSETENV (name, lenname, new, lennew, ioverwrite, ierror)

STANDARDS
     IEEE standard interface for FORTRAN 77

DESCRIPTION
     This routine is in libfortran.so which is linked by default when
     compiling programs with the MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler or when
     compiling programs with the -craylibs option to the MIPSpro F77
     compiler.

     The PXFSETENV routine uses the putenv(3C) function to change a
     currently existing "name=value" pair or create a new name=value pair.
     The name or new arguments are stripped of trailing blanks if lenname
     or lennew are zero.

     All arguments must be of default kind unless documented otherwise.  On
     IRIX systems, the default kind is KIND=4.

     The following is a list of valid arguments for this routine:

     name      An input character variable or array element containing the
               environment name value to be set.

     lenname   An input integer variable containing the character length of
               name. If lenname is zero, trailing blanks are removed.

     new       An input character variable or array element containing the
               new environment value for the name=value environment pair.

     lennew    An input integer variable containing the character length of
               new. If lennew is zero, trailing blanks are removed.

     ioverwrite
               An input integer variable containing a zero or nonzero
               number. When the value is zero, a name=value pair with the
               name value matching name will not be replaced with a new
               name=new pair.

               A nonzero ioverwrite value will replace the matching
               name=value pair with name=new pair.

     ierror    An output integer variable that contains zero if the
               environment variable was changed or nonzero if PXFSETENV was
               not successful.

     The PXFSETENV routine may return any of the following error values:

     EINVAL    If ilen is less than 0 or lenname is greater than LEN(path)
               or lennew is less than 0 or lennew is greater than LEN(new).

     ENOMEM    If PXFSETENV is unable to obtain memory to copy name and new
               to a new name=value string.

NOTES
     The PXF_DEFINITIONS module can be used by Fortran 90 users to enable
     caller-callee interface checking.

EXAMPLES
     In this example, PXFSETENV sets the SHELL environment value to
     /bin/csh.

                 program testpxf
                 character*10 name, val
                 integer lenname, lenval, ioverw, ierr
          c set input arguments
                 name='SHELL'
                 ierr=0
                 lenname=5
                 val='/bin/csh'
                 lenval=8
                 ioverw=1
                 CALL PXFSETENV(name,lenname,val,lenval,iover,ierr)
          c print input arguments
                 print *,'name=-',name,'-'
                 print *,'lenname=',lenname
                 print *,'val=-',val,'-'
                 print *,'lenval=',lenval
                 print *,'iotherw=',iotherw
          c print output argument
                 print *,'ierr=',ierr
                 end
