Return string-valued system configuration values.
<var>name</var> specifies the configuration value to retrieve; it may be a
string which is the name of a defined system value; these names are
specified in a number of standards (POSIX, <span class="Unix">Unix</span> 95, <span class="Unix">Unix</span> 98, and

known to the host operating system are given in the

accepted.
