/**

The `env` property provides a functional way to modify the environment used by
the child process. If none is passed the environment is inherited from the father
process. Appending means that the environment will be interpreted as a ';' or ':'
separated list as used in `PATH`.

On both `posix` and `windows` the environment variables can be lists of strings,
separated by ';'. This is typically used for the `PATH` variable.

By default the environment will be inherited from the launching process,
which is also true if environment are modified with this initializer.

\section env_details Details

\subsection env_operations Operations

\subsubsection env_set_var Setting variables

To set a variable `id` the value `value` the following syntax can be used.

\code{.cpp}
env[id] = value;
env(id, value);
\endcode

`std::initializer_list` is among the allowed types, so the following syntax is also possible.

\code{.cpp}
env[id] = {value1, value2};
env(id, {value1, value2});
\endcode

\note Creates the variable if it does not exist.

The following lists contain possible value types, with `char_type` being either `char` or `wchar_t`
for both `id` and `value`.

\paragraph id id

 - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
 - `const char_type *`

\paragraph env_set_var_value value

 - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
 - `const char_type * `
 - `std::initializer_list<const char_type *>`
 - `std::vector<std::basic_string<char_type>>`


\note Using `std::vector` or `std::initializer_list`

\subsubsection env_append_var Append variables

Appending means, that a variable will be interpreted as a
To append  a variable `id` the value `value` the following syntax can be used:

\code{.cpp}
env[id] += value;
\endcode

`std::initializer_list` is among the allowed types, so the following syntax is also possible.

\code{.cpp}
env[id] += {value1, value2};
\endcode

\note Creates the variable if it does not exist.

The following lists contain possible value types, with `char_type` being either `char` or `wchar_t`
for both `id` and `value`.

\paragraph env_append_var_id id

 - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
 - `const char_type *`

\paragraph env_append_var_value value

 - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
 - `const char_type *`
 - `std::initializer_list<const char_type *>`
 - `std::vector<std::basic_string<char_type>>`


\subsubsection env_reset Reset variables

Resetting single variables can be done in the following way:

\code{.cpp}
env[id] = boost::none;
env(id, boost::none);
\endcode

\note This does not set the value empty, but removes it from the list.

The following lists contain possible value types, with `char_type` being either `char` or `wchar_t`:

\paragraph env_reset_var_id id

 - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
 - `const char_type *`

\subsubsection env_init Initialize the environment

The whole environment can be initialized from an object of type
\xmlonly <classname>boost::process::environment</classname> \endxmlonly

\code{.cpp}
env=env;
env(env);
\endcode

\note The passed `environment` can also be default-constructed to get an empty environment.

\paragraph env_init_var_id id

 - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
 - `const char_type *`

\paragraph env_init_var_value value

 - `boost::process::basic_environment<char_type>`

\subsection env_example Example

\code{.cpp}
spawn("b2", env["PATH"]+="F:/boost", env["SOME_VAR"]=boost::none, env["NEW_VAR"]="VALUE");
\endcode

If the overload style should be done by passing an instance of
\xmlonly <classname>boost::process::environment</classname> \endxmlonly
the above example would look like this.

\code{.cpp}
environment e = this_process::environment();
e["PATH"]   += "F:/boost";
e.erase("SOME_VAR");
e["NEW_VAR"] = "VALUE";
spawn("b2", e);
\endcode

\warning Passing an empty environment will cause undefined behaviour.
