It's a standard ANSI C function as defined in ISO 9899-1999:
7.20.4.5 The getenv function
Synopsis
1 #include <stdlib.h>
char *getenv(const char *name);
Description
2 The getenv function searches an environment list, provided by
the host environment, for a string that matches the string
pointed to by name. The set of environment names and the
method for altering the environment list are
implementation-defined.
3 The implementation shall behave as if no library function calls
the getenv function.
Returns
4 The getenv function returns a pointer to a string associated
with the matched list member. The string pointed to shall
not be modified by the program, but may be overwritten by a
subsequent call to the getenv function. If the specified
name cannot be found, a null pointer is returned.
