Alright, I can explain. I see constructs all the time like
char * result, * confdir;
if ((result = getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME")))
confdir = asprintf("%s/%s", result, name);
else if ((result = getenv("HOME")))
confdir = asprintf("%s/.%s", result, name);
else
...and it bugs me (aha), because this makes a whopping two passes over the environment to perform a linear search when it could make just one. See examples/ for more justification for this thing's existence.
The only distribution/installation files are are libgetenv_multiple.a and getenv_multiple.h; all documentation and full licence text is in the latter. The documentation may very well be parseable with doxygen, I haven't tried

The file alloca.h is from gnulib and is LGPL-2.1-or-later. It's only
used for getenv_preferences(), in the event that C99 or GNU C are
unavailable, so if for some reason you're really against encompassing
copyleft code, those are the only conditions under which that would
happen.
