Function std.process.environment.opIndexAssign

Assigns the given value to the environment variable with the given name. If value is null the variable is removed from environment.

static inout(char)[] opIndexAssign (
  scope return inout(char[]) value,
  scope const(char)[] name
) @trusted;

If the variable does not exist, it will be created. If it already exists, it will be overwritten.

environment["foo"] = "bar";

Throws

Exception if the environment variable could not be added (e.g. if the name is invalid).

Note

On some platforms, modifying environment variables may not be allowed in multi-threaded programs. See e.g. glibc.
