Syscall similar to kenv in Linux?

[figo]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there's syscall in Linux that serves the function of kenv in freeBSD? I know setenv/getenv/printenv, but they're process-based userspace environment var settings (freeBSD has them all also). Here kenv means kernel env.

There's another fundamental question:
Is there kernel environment variables in Linux at all?

thx~

Your question about the linux kernel could, should, and (hopefully)would be responded to on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/). They would of course give you the most up to date and informed response.

Thanks, I think my question is not very clear anyway. I found how to solve the problem.

Well, since this forum is supposed to be a nice reference tool, please post your findings.

Not exactly a solution..cause there's no way to get kernel environment var if there's no API provided, except writing a syscall ourself.
