#+title: Uconfig

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.

*After* having created Uconfig, I found out about [[https://gitlab.com/iniparser/iniparser][iniParser]], it serves a very
similar purpose and is probably more reliable and better maintained, check it
out.

* Installation

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

* 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.
