OK so once I  modify kernel/CFuncs.st and I believe I need to also
modify libgst/cint.c what else do I need to do in order to get this to work ?


In kernel/CFuncs.st

    environ: aString [
        <category: 'c call-outs'>
        <cCall: 'environ' returning: #(#ptr #string) args: #()>
        
    ]



and in libgst/cint.c

  _gst_define_cfunc ("getenv", getenv);
  _gst_define_cfunc ("environ", environ);



cheers,

      mehul
