[9front] Introducing libini

[9front] Introducing libini

[sirjofri]

Good evening,

some people like it, some hate it, but for configuration purposes some really prefer using the ini file format.

Hereby I introduce libini, which provides ini parsing functionality as a library. You can parse ini files manually by providing your own parse function, or use the builtin management solution to provide a catalogue of all settings.

Libini supports the simple standard file format, as well as array-like structures (using +key=value pairs). key=value pairs without sections are also supported.

Libini should also support loading multiple ini files, though I didn't properly test that.

There are very likely a few errors, patches are like always welcome.

Here's the URL for the repository: http://shithub.us/sirjofri/libini/HEAD/info.html . The repo contains a test program.

And that:
