DESCRIPTION

Tcl_PutEnv sets an environment variable. The information is passed in a
  single string of the form “ NAME=value”. This
  procedure is intended to be a stand-in for the UNIX putenv system call.
  All Tcl-based applications using putenv should redefine it to
  Tcl_PutEnv so that they will interface properly to the Tcl runtime.
