+# `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).
