This package permits you to set ;; environment variables to be passed to any sub-process run under Emacs. ;;; Code: ;;;###autoload (defun setenv (variable &optional value) "Set the value of the environment variable named VARIABLE to VALUE. VARIABLE should be a string. VALUE is optional; if not provided or is `nil', the environment variable VARIABLE will be removed. This function works by modifying `process-environment'."
