Uconfig - Read a Unix config file

"Uconfig" is supposed to stand for "Micro config", because it is a small library, but maybe saying that it stands for "Unix config" makes more sense. Choose your side.

1. Installation

Run make to compile. Run make check to run tests. Run make install to install the static library and the header file.

2. Usage

Include uconfig.h in the sources. Then link the programs with -luconfig.

In the code:

  • create a Uconfig handle by calling uconfig_new and passing a Unix configuration file to read,
  • retrieve configuration parameters using uconfig_get,
  • finalize by calling uconfig_destroy.

See the example in the test subdirectory.
