API

This modules exposes a single function:

parseEnvString([string])

It takes a string and returns an object. If given null or undefined an empty object is returned. If given anything else, a TypeError is thrown.

An Error will also be thrown if the provided string doesn't contain valid environment variables. E.g. if given the string 1a=b, an error will be thrown because environment variables cannot have a digit as the first character.
