How do I access environment variables in Vala? (as stated above) seems simple, but I cannot find how g_getenv () is displayed in Vala.

The answer lies in the bindings file. Vala uses bindings (in .vapi files) to bind its constructs to C. In this case, you can grep via glib-2.0.vapi (on my system, which is located in /usr/share/vala-0.10/vapi ), and You will see that it is connected as:

 unowned string? GLib.Environment.get_variable(string name)

It can be very useful to have the location of the main VAPI files, because if you know the C name of the function, you can just grep for it.
