func MergeEnvironments

func MergeEnvironments(ea []string, es ...[]string) []string

MergeEnvironments merges one or more sets of environment variables, overwriting any existing variable in the preceding set, except for the "special" variables PATH, CPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The "special" variables PATH, CPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are merged by prepending the values from right to those in left, effectively giving priority to the values from right.

The expected format for an environment variable definition is VAR=VALUE. Any malformed environment variable definition will be discarded by the merge.
