+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_PutEnv\fR sets an environment variable. The information is
+passed in a single string of the form NAME=value. This procedure is
+intended to be a stand-in for the UNIX \fBputenv\fR system call. All
+tcl-based applications using \fBputenv\fR should redefine it to
+\fBTcl_PutEnv\fR so that they will interface properly to the Tcl
+runtime.
+
+.SH KEYWORDS
+environment, variable
