Smile How to find the Environment variables in a Binary File

Is there any way to find out the Environment variables during compilation time associated with the binary file, by using the binaryname.
I have one binary and i want to know what are the environmental variables which is used inside of the binary.
Thanks in advance...

you can do a "strings" on a file, which might shed some light, but there's no formal way of knowing things like this.

btw, lets not use the silly big text again, huh? Oh and a please / thankyou would've been nice.
