Detailed Description

Parser for .ini style files.

Accepts the following escape sequences in property values: '\r' '\n' '\s' (for space) and '\\'. An example of how to use the parser is this:

string foo, bar;
bool baz;

IniActions a;
a["group1"].add("foo", &foo, "baz", &baz);
a["group2"].add("bar", &bar);

if (!ini_parse(a, "config.ini"))
  exit (1);

This will parse an ini file like this:

[group1]
foo = some string
baz = true
[group2]
bar = \s  a string starting with three spaces
