NAME¶
firestring_conf_parse - read and parse a configuration file
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
struct firestring_conf_t *firestring_conf_parse(const char
*filename)
DESCRIPTION¶
firestring_conf_parse() attempts to read a configuration from
filename
and parse the results into a structure that it then returns.
The support
configuration format is fairly flexible:
# Configuration file example
# These are comments
variable_name = value
variable_name2=value
variable_name3="quoted value"
variable_name4="array value 1"
variable_name4="array value 2"
as a variable name is special; it causes firestring to parse the
file referenced by the value, overriding any previous values (although they
are still accessible as arrays).
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns a pointer to a structure containing the data read from the config file,
or
NULL if the file cannot be opened.
