QProcessEnvironment::​QProcessEnvironment()

Creates a new QProcessEnvironment object. This constructor creates an empty environment. If set on a QProcess, this will cause the current environment variables to be removed.

QProcessEnvironment::​QProcessEnvironment(const QProcessEnvironment & other)

Creates a QProcessEnvironment object that is a copy of other.

QProcessEnvironment::​~QProcessEnvironment()

Frees the resources associated with this QProcessEnvironment object.

void QProcessEnvironment::​clear()

Removes all key=value pairs from this QProcessEnvironment object, making it empty.

See also isEmpty() and systemEnvironment().

bool QProcessEnvironment::​contains(const QString & name) const

Returns true if the environment variable of name name is found in this QProcessEnvironment object.

See also insert() and value().

void QProcessEnvironment::​insert(const QString & name, const QString & value)

Inserts the environment variable of name name and contents value into this QProcessEnvironment object. If that variable already existed, it is replaced by the new value.

On most systems, inserting a variable with no contents will have the same effect for applications as if the variable had not been set at all. However, to guarantee that there are no incompatibilities, to remove a variable, please use the remove() function.

See also contains(), remove(), and value().

void QProcessEnvironment::​insert(const QProcessEnvironment & e)

This is an overloaded function.

Inserts the contents of e in this QProcessEnvironment object. Variables in this object that also exist in e will be overwritten.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

bool QProcessEnvironment::​isEmpty() const

Returns true if this QProcessEnvironment object is empty: that is there are no key=value pairs set.

See also clear(), systemEnvironment(), and insert().

QStringList QProcessEnvironment::​keys() const

Returns a list containing all the variable names in this QProcessEnvironment object.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

void QProcessEnvironment::​remove(const QString & name)

Removes the environment variable identified by name from this QProcessEnvironment object. If that variable did not exist before, nothing happens.

See also contains(), insert(), and value().

void QProcessEnvironment::​swap(QProcessEnvironment & other)

Swaps this process environment instance with other. This function is very fast and never fails.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

[static] QProcessEnvironment QProcessEnvironment::​systemEnvironment()

The systemEnvironment function returns the environment of the calling process.

It is returned as a QProcessEnvironment. This function does not cache the system environment. Therefore, it's possible to obtain an updated version of the environment if low-level C library functions like setenv ot putenv have been called.

However, note that repeated calls to this function will recreate the QProcessEnvironment object, which is a non-trivial operation.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.

See also QProcess::systemEnvironment().

QStringList QProcessEnvironment::​toStringList() const

Converts this QProcessEnvironment object into a list of strings, one for each environment variable that is set. The environment variable's name and its value are separated by an equal character ('=').

The QStringList contents returned by this function are suitable for presentation. Use with the QProcess::setEnvironment function is not recommended due to potential encoding problems under Unix, and worse performance.

See also systemEnvironment(), QProcess::systemEnvironment(), QProcess::environment(), and QProcess::setEnvironment().

QString QProcessEnvironment::​value(const QString & name, const QString & defaultValue = QString()) const

Searches this QProcessEnvironment object for a variable identified by name and returns its value. If the variable is not found in this object, then defaultValue is returned instead.

See also contains(), insert(), and remove().

bool QProcessEnvironment::​operator!=(const QProcessEnvironment & other) const

Returns true if this and the other QProcessEnvironment objects are different.

See also operator==().

QProcessEnvironment & QProcessEnvironment::​operator=(const QProcessEnvironment & other)

Copies the contents of the other QProcessEnvironment object into this one.

bool QProcessEnvironment::​operator==(const QProcessEnvironment & other) const

Returns true if this and the other QProcessEnvironment objects are equal.

Two QProcessEnvironment objects are considered equal if they have the same set of key=value pairs. The comparison of keys is done case-sensitive on platforms where the environment is case-sensitive.

See also operator!=() and contains().
