Environment
Synopsis
This class represents an application’s operating environment, which includes details about the operating system, the current user, and other environment variables. This information is provided through static properties and some helper methods.
You can retrieve command-line arguments as a string
from CommandLine
or as an array of
strings using
GetCommandLineArgs()
.
Use the GetLogicalDrives()
method to get an array of strings containing drive names
(for example, C:\
), and use the
GetFolderPath()
method to get the
physical location of a special system folder. You can also
retrieve environment variables by key name using the
GetEnvironmentVariable()
method and automatically replace environment variables in a
string with the
ExpandEnvironmentVariables()
method, as long as they are delimited with the percent sign (%).
For example, on a system with the environment variable MAC_ADDR
set to 123456789012
, the string MAC_ADDR
=
%MAC_ADDR%
would be
converted to MAC_ADDR
=
123456789012
.
