GetEnvironmentVariable

GetEnvironmentVariable (driv_GetEnvironmentVariable)

This API is used to retrieve an Environment Variable value for a given key.

Environment Variables are a great feature, but the lack of a unified method to retrieve the values makes it somehow difficult to use. This API tries to simplify this process.
