25 * Every module places its configuration setting into some section. Section is
26 * an array of cfitem, whose first record is of type CT_SECTION and contains
27 * the name of the section. The configuration sections are registered by
28 * calling cf_register().
30 * CT_INCOMPLETE_SECTION is identical to CT_SECTION, but when an unknown variable
31 * is spotted, we ignore it instead of bailing out with an error message.
33 * item->var is a pointer to the destination variable or to the special parsing
37 enum cftype { CT_STOP, CT_SECTION, CT_INCOMPLETE_SECTION, CT_INT, CT_STRING, CT_FUNCTION, CT_DOUBLE, CT_U64 };
45 typedef byte *(*ci_func)(struct cfitem *, byte *);

50 * Direct setting of configuration items and parsing the configuration file.
53 int cf_item_count(void);
54 struct cfitem *cf_get_item(byte *sect, byte *name);
55 byte *cf_set_item(byte *sect, byte *name, byte *value);
56 void cf_read(byte *filename);
59 * Number parsing functions which could be useful in CT_FUNCTION callbacks.
62 byte *cf_parse_int(byte *value, uns *varp);
63 byte *cf_parse_u64(byte *value, u64 *varp);
64 byte *cf_parse_double(byte *value, double *varp);
67 * When using cf_getopt, you must prefix your own short/long options by the
68 * CF_(SHORT|LONG)_OPTS.
70 * cfdeffile contains filename of config file automatically loaded before a
71 * first --set option is executed. If none --set option occures, it will be
72 * loaded after getopt returns -1 (at the end of configuration options). It
73 * will be ignored, if another config file is set by --config option at first.
74 * Its initial value is DEFAULT_CONFIG from config.h, but you can override it
