firestring_conf_parse (3)

#include <firestring.h>

-lfirestring

struct firestring_conf_t *firestring_conf_parse(const char *filename)

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"

include 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).

Returns a pointer to a structure containing the data read from the config file, or NULL if the file cannot be opened.
