Hi All,

As per the documentation from std.process it states that an exception is thrown if the variable contains invalid UTF-16 characters and it can also be validated using "validate" function from std.utf, so the question is do we have a similar one for Posix as this seem to be applicable only to Windows.

Exception if the environment variable does not exist, or std.utf.UTFException if the variable contains invalid UTF-16 characters (Windows only).

From,
Vino

On POSIX, no validation is necessary, because the names of environment variables are allowed to contain any character except for \0 (including invalid Unicode).
