: No, since many Ada targets have no such thing as an "environment".

: a getenv function or its equivalent in a library.  Look in your
: compiler documentation.

Or if you know the name of the function in your C library,
then just define an appropriate Ada subprogram spec for it and use 
pragma Import.  At link-time, make sure the appropriate
C library gets searched.
