Computation getArgs returns a list of the program's command line arguments (not including the program name).

Computation getProgName returns the name of the program as it was invoked.

However, this is hard-to-impossible to implement on some non-Unix OSes, so instead, for maximum portability, we just return the leafname of the program as invoked. Even then there are some differences between platforms: on Windows, for example, a program invoked as foo is probably really FOO.EXE, and that is what getProgName will return.

Computation getEnv var returns the value of the environment variable var. For the inverse, the setEnv function can be used.

This computation may fail with:

• isDoesNotExistError if the environment variable does not exist.
