Sys.getenv {base} | R Documentation

## Get Environment Variables

### Description

`Sys.getenv` obtains the values of the environment variables named by `x`.

### Usage

    Sys.getenv(x)

### Arguments

`x` | a character vector, or missing

### Value

A vector of the same length as `x`, with the variable names as its `names` attribute. Each element holds the value of the environment variable named by the corresponding component of `x` (or `""` if no environment variable with that name was found).
On most platforms `Sys.getenv()` will return a named vector giving the values of all the environment variables.
