environment_variables() [1/2]

const std::map< xtd::string, xtd::string > & xtd::diagnostics::process_start_info::environment_variables ( ) const

noexcept

Gets search paths for files, directories for temporary files, application-specific options, and other similar information.

Returns

std::map<xtd::string, xtd::string> A string dictionary that provides environment variables that apply to this process and child processes. The default is empty.

Remarks

Although you cannot set the xtd::diagnostics::process_start_info::environment_variables property, you can modify the generic dictionary returned by the property. For example, the following code adds a TempPath environment variable:

my_process.startInfo().environment_variables().insert({"TempPath", "C:\\Temp"}); 

. You must set the xtd::diagnostics::process_start_info::use_shell_execute property to false to start the process after changing the xtd::diagnostics::process_start_info::environment_variables property. If xtd::diagnostics::process_start_info::use_shell_execute is true, an xtd::invalid_operation_exception is thrown when the xtd::diagnostics::process::start method is called.
