firestring_conf_parse3
Read and parse a configuration file
Usage
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
struct firestring_conf_t *firestring_conf_parse(const char *filename)
Overview
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).
Return value
Returns a pointer to a structure containing the data read from the config file, or NULL if the file cannot be opened.
Releases
Unchanged in 6 releases since Debian 3.1 (Sarge).
