    environment variable

    Hi,

    Am working on Redhat Linux.
    i want to set and get some user defined environment variables..
    i know that am supposed to use getenv() and setenv() from c but my doubt is about the actions to be done in .bash_profile file regarding the environment variable...
    can anybody guide me in this.

    Thanks,
    Anand

    you can view the values of a variable by typing

    Code:
    echo $VARNAME
    you can set a variable by typing

    Code:
    export VARNAME=value
    .bash_profile is really a script so you can just add these commands and do whatever.
