    const wchar_t * pszName, 
    wchar_t (& buf)[nBufLen]
);

File

Description

Deprecated. Retrieves the value of an environment variable. Looks first in the AutoCAD-specific FixedProfile/General section of the registry: 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Software
        Autodesk
            AutoCAD
                R25.0
                    <Install ID>
                        FixedProfile
                            General

If an entry is not found in the registry, retrieves the value from the Windows system environment table.

Note: This function will not work for AutoCAD sysvars. For AutoCAD sysvars, use acedGetVar().

If acedGetEnv() succeeds, it returns RTNORM; otherwise it returns RTERROR. This function is the complement of the acedSetEnv() function.

Parameters

Parameters Description
pszName Input environment variable name to get, which is case sensitive in all environments (AutoLISP, ObjectARX, Managed .NET and VBA/ActiveX)
buf Output buffer to be filled in with environment variable value

Use Instead

ACCORE_PORT int acedGetEnv(const ACHAR * sym, AcString & sResult);
