Remarks

Use the Environment class to retrieve information such as command-line arguments, the exit code, environment variable settings, contents of the call stack, time since last system boot, and the version of the common language runtime.

Properties

CommandLine	Gets the command line for this process.
CpuUsage	Get the CPU usage, including the process time spent running the application code, the process time spent running the operating system code, and the total time spent running both the application and operating system code.
CurrentDirectory	Gets or sets the fully qualified path of the current working directory.
CurrentManagedThreadId	Gets a unique identifier for the current managed thread.
ExitCode	Gets or sets the exit code of the process.
HasShutdownStarted	Gets a value that indicates whether the current application domain is being unloaded or the common language runtime (CLR) is shutting down.
Is64BitOperatingSystem	Gets a value that indicates whether the current operating system is a 64-bit operating system.
Is64BitProcess	Gets a value that indicates whether the current process is a 64-bit process.
IsPrivilegedProcess	Gets a value that indicates whether the current process is authorized to perform security-relevant functions.
MachineName	Gets the NetBIOS name of this local computer.
NewLine	Gets the newline string defined for this environment.
OSVersion	Gets the current platform identifier and version number.
ProcessId	Gets the unique identifier for the current process.
ProcessorCount	Gets the number of processors available to the current process.
ProcessPath	Returns the path of the executable that started the currently executing process. Returns `null` when the path is not available.
StackTrace	Gets current stack trace information.
SystemDirectory	Gets the fully qualified path of the system directory.
SystemPageSize	Gets the number of bytes in the operating system's memory page.
TickCount	Gets the number of milliseconds elapsed since the system started.
TickCount64	Gets the number of milliseconds elapsed since the system started.
UserDomainName	Gets the network domain name associated with the current user.
UserInteractive	Gets a value indicating whether the current process is running in user interactive mode.
UserName	Gets the user name of the person who is associated with the current thread.
Version	Gets a version consisting of the major, minor, build, and revision numbers of the common language runtime.
WorkingSet	Gets the amount of physical memory mapped to the process context.

Methods

Exit(Int32)	Terminates this process and returns an exit code to the operating system.
ExpandEnvironmentVariables(String)	Replaces the name of each environment variable embedded in the specified string with the string equivalent of the value of the variable, then returns the resulting string.
FailFast(String, Exception)	Immediately terminates the process before reporting an error message. For Windows, the error message is written to the Windows Application event log, and the message and exception information is included in error reporting to Microsoft. For Unix-like systems, the message alongside the stack trace is written to the standard error stream.
FailFast(String)	Immediately terminates the process before reporting an error message. For Windows, the error message is written to the Windows Application event log, and the message is included in error reporting to Microsoft. For Unix-like systems, the message, alongside the stack trace, is written to the standard error stream.
GetCommandLineArgs()	Returns a string array containing the command-line arguments for the current process.
GetEnvironmentVariable(String, EnvironmentVariableTarget)	Retrieves the value of an environment variable from the current process or from the Windows operating system registry key for the current user or local machine.
GetEnvironmentVariable(String)	Retrieves the value of an environment variable from the current process.
GetEnvironmentVariables()	Retrieves all environment variable names and their values from the current process.
GetEnvironmentVariables(EnvironmentVariableTarget)	Retrieves all environment variable names and their values from the current process, or from the Windows operating system registry key for the current user or local machine.
GetFolderPath(Environment+SpecialFolder, Environment+SpecialFolderOption)	Gets the path to the specified system special folder using a specified option for accessing special folders.
GetFolderPath(Environment+SpecialFolder)	Gets the path to the specified system special folder.
GetLogicalDrives()	Retrieves the names of the logical drives on this computer.
SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget)	Creates, modifies, or deletes an environment variable stored in the current process or in the Windows operating system registry key reserved for the current user or local machine.
SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String)	Creates, modifies, or deletes an environment variable stored in the current process.
