<a name="idp433083104"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <code class="computeroutput">env</code> 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 ':' seperated list as used in <code class="computeroutput">PATH</code>.</p>
<p>On both <code class="computeroutput">posix</code> and <code class="computeroutput">windows</code> the environment variables can be lists of strings, seperated by ';'. This is typically used for the <code class="computeroutput">PATH</code> variable.</p>
<p>By default the environment will be inherited from the launching process, which is also true if environment are modified with this initializer.</p>
