_CEE_ENVFILE_COMMENT

Defines the comment character to be checked for when subsequent records are read from the file. _CEE_ENVFILE_COMMENT is defined within the file specified by the _CEE_ENVFILE or _CEE_ENVFILE_S environment variable. The comment character used is the first character after the = and it must not be a space character, as determined by the isspace() macro.

In the following example, the comment character is defined as *. With this in place, any subsequent line that begins with * in column one is treated as a comment and processing will skip to the next line.

_CEE_ENVFILE_COMMENT=*
* This is a comment
NAME1=VALUE1

Notes:

Comments cannot be placed within a set of continuation lines.
If _CEE_ENVFILE_COMMENT is encountered when the file is read, it is only used to define the comment character; the keyword is not added to the environment.
