Comment (by leif):

 You may also simply wrap `getenv()` with an additional (preferably `const
 char*`) default parameter, returned if the environment variable isn't set,
 just like Python's `os.environ.get("VAR_NAME", default_value)`.

 (And the additional parameter might itself default to either `""` or
 `NULL`.  But if you provide a default parameter for your wrapper function,
 you won't be able to just overload `getenv()`.  So it would be best to add
 a `getenv()` function with an additional ''non-optional'' parameter, then
 calling `getenv(NON_DEFINED_NAME)` would just return `NULL`, while
 `getenv(NON_DEFINED_NAME, DEFAULT_VALUE)` would return `DEFAULT_VALUE`,
 "transparently".)
