    I would have thought that you can just call the unix function that returns
    the value of the variable - call it from within SystemVerilog using the C
    function call interface.
    [if there is no appropriate unix function, just write one in C and import
    it into your SystemVerilog as an external (i.e. in C) function.]
    That should work?
