//! Inspection and manipulation of the process's environment.

//! This module contains functions to inspect various aspects such as
//! environment variables, process arguments, the current directory, and various
//! other important directories.
//!
//! There are several functions and structs in this module that have a
//! counterpart ending in `os`. Those ending in `os` will return an [`OsString`]
//! and those without will return a [`String`].

///
/// The output of this function should not be trusted for anything

/// As an example, you can easily introduce a race condition. It goes

/// store it in a variable.
/// 2. Time passes. A malicious actor removes the current executable, and
/// replaces it with a malicious one.

/// executable.
