Create a EnvMap backed by a specific allocator. That allocator will be used for both backing allocations and string deduplication.

exit

Free the backing storage of the map, as well as all of the stored keys and values.

changeCurDir

Same as put but the key and value become owned by the EnvMap rather than being copied. If putMove fails, the ownership of key and value does not transfer. On Windows key must be a valid [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/) string.

GetCwdError

Find the address of the value associated with a key. The returned pointer is invalidated if the map resizes. On Windows key must be a valid [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/) string.

getCwd()

Return the map's copy of the value associated with a key. The returned string is invalidated if this key is removed from the map. On Windows key must be a valid [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/) string.

InitError

Returns a snapshot of the environment variables of the current process. Any modifications to the resulting EnvMap will not be reflected in the environment, and likewise, any future modifications to the environment will not be reflected in the EnvMap. Caller owns resulting EnvMap and should call its deinit fn when done.

get()

Iterator that implements the Windows command-line parsing algorithm. The implementation is intended to be compatible with the post-2008 C runtime, but is *not* intended to be compatible with CommandLineToArgvW since CommandLineToArgvW uses the pre-2008 parsing rules. This iterator faithfully implements the parsing behavior observed from the C runtime with one exception: if the command-line string is empty, the iterator will immediately complete without returning any arguments (whereas the C runtime will return a single argument representing the name of the current executable). The essential parts of the algorithm are described in Microsoft's documentation: - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/main-function-command-line-args?view=msvc-170#parsing-c-command-line-arguments David Deley explains some additional undocumented quirks in great detail: - https://daviddeley.com/autohotkey/parameters/parameters.htm#WINCRULES

iterator()

cmd_line_w *must* be a WTF16-LE-encoded string. The iterator makes a copy of cmd_line_w converted WTF-8 and keeps it; it does *not* take ownership of cmd_line_w.


        self.hash_map.deinit();
    }

Test: EnvMap

Returns the next argument and advances the iterator. Returns null if at the end of the command-line string. The iterator owns the returned slice. The result is encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/).

Call to free the internal buffer of the iterator.

Cross-platform command line argument iterator.

    try testing.expectEqualStrings("hello", env.get("SOMETHING_NEW").?);
    try testing.expectEqual(@as(EnvMap.Size, 1), env.count());

Initialize the args iterator. Consider using initWithAllocator() instead for cross-platform compatibility.

    try testing.expectEqualStrings("something", env.get("SOMETHING_NEW").?);

InitError

Get the next argument. Returns 'null' if we are at the end. Returned slice is pointing to the iterator's internal buffer. On Windows, the result is encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On other platforms, the result is an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding.

TODO this reads /etc/passwd. But sometimes the user/id mapping is in something else like NIS, AD, etc. See man nss or look at an strace for id myuser.

ArgIteratorWindows

Replaces the current process image with the executed process. This function must allocate memory to add a null terminating bytes on path and each arg. It must also convert to KEY=VALUE\0 format for environment variables, and include null pointers after the args and after the environment variables. argv[0] is the executable path. This function also uses the PATH environment variable to get the full path to the executable. Due to the heap-allocation, it is illegal to call this function in a fork() child. For that use case, use the std.posix functions directly.
