| //! Inspection and manipulation of the process's environment. |
| //! |
| //! This module contains functions to inspect various aspects such as |
| //! environment variables, process arguments, the current directory, and various |
| //! other important directories. |
| //! |
| //! There are several functions and structs in this module that have a |
| //! counterpart ending in `os`. Those ending in `os` will return an [`OsString`] |
| //! and those without will return a [`String`]. |

| /// |
| /// If the executable is renamed while it is running, platforms may return the |

| /// # Errors |
| /// |
| /// Acquiring the path of the current executable is a platform-specific operation |
| /// that can fail for a good number of reasons. Some errors can include, but not |
| /// be limited to, filesystem operations failing or general syscall failures. |
| /// |
| /// # Security |
| /// |
| /// The output of this function should not be trusted for anything |
| /// that might have security implications. Basically, if users can run |
| /// the executable, they can change the output arbitrarily. |
| /// |
| /// As an example, you can easily introduce a race condition. It goes |
| /// like this: |
| /// |
| /// 1. You get the path to the current executable using `current_exe()`, and |
| /// store it in a variable. |
| /// 2. Time passes. A malicious actor removes the current executable, and |
| /// replaces it with a malicious one. |
| /// 3. You then use the stored path to re-execute the current |
| /// executable. |
| /// |
| /// You expected to safely execute the current executable, but you're |
| /// instead executing something completely different. The code you |
| /// just executed run with your privileges. |
| /// |
| /// This sort of behavior has been known to [lead to privilege escalation] when |
| /// used incorrectly. |
