Generate and return failed = .false. if the value of the input environment variable name can be successfully retrieved as a trimmed string in the output argument value.
Otherwise, return failed = .true. indicating the occurrence of an error.
The functionality of the procedures under this generic interface are highly similar to that of the Fortran intrinsic get_environment_variable().
However, the procedures of this generic interface remove the burden of guessing the correct size of the output string value by try and error.
- Parameters
-
| [in] | name | : The input scalar character of default kind SK containing the name of the environment variable whose value should be retrieved from the runtime system shell.
The argument name must neither be empty nor all blank characters. |
| [out] | value | : The output allocatable scalar character of default kind SK containing the value of the environment variable name.
The output value is guaranteed to capture the full value of the environment variable name and without any trailing blanks.
The allocation status or the contents of value is undefined if a runtime error occurs.
Always check the returned value of failed before using value. |
| [in,out] | errmsg | : The input/output scalar character of default kind SK of arbitrary length type parameter.
If an error occurs, errmsg will be set to a descriptive message about the nature of the runtime error.
A length of LEN_IOMSG characters is likely sufficient to capture most error messages in full.
(optional. If missing, no error message will be output. It can be present only if failed is also present.) |
| [in] | length | : The input scalar integer of default kind IK representing the best-guess length of the output value of the environment variable.
By default, the initial length of value is 2**13 - 1 = 8197 characters. This is suitable for very long environment variables like PATH.
However, this may be too large in many other cases. If so, the user can provide a better starting guess for the length of value by setting the input argument length to a proper best guess positive integer.
(optional, default = 8191) |
- Returns
failed : The output scalar logical of default kind LK. It is .true. if and only if the process of retrieving the value of the environment variable fails at any point.
