-.Dt CLEAN_ENVIRONMENT 3
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm clean_environment
-.Nd sanitize environment variables
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libutil
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In libutil.h
-.Ft void
-.Fn clean_environment "const char * const *whitelist" "const char * const *extra_whitelist"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn clean_environment
-function removes unsafe environment variables from the current
-process environment.
-It scans the current environment and discards any environment variable
-that does not occur in one of the two NULL-terminated lists.
-.Pp
-If the first argument is
-.Dv NULL ,
-a built-in default whitelist will be used.
-Most callers will use
-.Dv NULL
-for both arguments to obtain the default environment screening.
-Callers who need to make minor adjustments to the built-in
-whitelist can set the first argument to
-.Dv NULL
-and use the second argument to, in effect,
-add elements to the built-in whitelist.
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-The first example illustrates the typical usage.
-In this case, the default built-in environment screen
-will be used, which removes all environment variables
-that are not on the built-in whitelist.
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
- clean_environment(NULL, NULL);
-.Ed
-.Pp
-The following example applies the default environment screens
-except that the environment variables
-.Cm MYCUSTOM
-and
-.Cm MYCUSTOM2
-will also be kept and the
-.Cm TERM
-and
-.Cm TERMCAP
-environment variables will be removed.
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
- const char *keep[] = { "MYCUSTOM", "MYCUSTOM2", NULL };
- const char *remove[] = { "TERM", "TERMCAP", NULL };
-
- clean_environment(NULL, keep);
- for (p = remove; *p != NULL; p++)
- unsetenv(*p);
