Agreed, 150%. My comment had more to do with rejecting files than it did with embracing environ as a suitable alternative.

SQLite is likely the most trouble-free option at the moment.

With that being said, it would be nice to see Android's sys/system_properties.h ported to GNU/Linux proper and, from there, other Unixen.

Having worked professionally in reverse engineering at DoD, I can assure you that this is something I'm intimately familiar with.

Files and environ are bad.
