Enum EnvironmentPolicy 

pub enum EnvironmentPolicy {
    Auto,
    Inherit,
    UserBaseline,
    Clear,
}

Selects the base environment used for a newly spawned process.

Explicit mutations added through Command::env, Command::envs, or Command::env_remove are applied after the selected base and therefore always win.

Variants

Auto

Choose from the process lifetime: contained subprocesses inherit, while detached daemons start from the logged-in user’s baseline.

Inherit

Inherit the spawning process’s environment.

UserBaseline

Start from the logged-in user’s machine + user environment, discarding the spawning process’s ambient environment except for the documented Unix locale, time-zone, and temporary-directory allowlist.

Windows implements this with CreateEnvironmentBlock. Unix reconstructs a clean login environment from the user’s identity (getpwuid_r → USER/LOGNAME/HOME/SHELL, platform default PATH, carried-over locale/TZ/TMPDIR), falling back to inheritance only when the passwd entry cannot be resolved.

Consumers that need values such as CARGO_HOME, RUSTUP_HOME, SOLDR_*, credentials, or runner-specific paths must pass them explicitly on the Command.

Clear

Start from an empty environment.
