# `env` | ||
|
||
The tracking issue for this feature is: [#118372](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118372). | ||
|
||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
This option flag allows to specify environment variables value at compile time to be | ||
used by `env!` and `option_env!` macros. | ||
|
||
When retrieving an environment variable value, the one specified by `--env` will take | ||
precedence. For example, if you want have `PATH=a` in your environment and pass: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
rustc --env PATH=env | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Then you will have: | ||
|
||
```rust,no_run | ||
assert_eq!(env!("PATH"), "env"); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Please note that on Windows, environment variables are case insensitive but case | ||
preserving whereas `rustc`'s environment variables are case sensitive. For example, | ||
having `Path` in your environment (case insensitive) is different than using | ||
`rustc --env Path=...` (case sensitive). |
