Description-en: parsing/manipulation of structured config files (development)
This library features a fully reentrant parser and includes bindings for
both the C and C++ programming languages. It runs on modern POSIX-compliant
systems such as Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X (Darwin), as well as on
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and later (Visual Studio or MinGW).
.
This library allows parsing, manipulating and writing structured configuration
files. Its main features are:
- A fully reentrant parser: Multiple configurations can be parsed in
concurrent threads at the same time.
- A simple, structured configuration file format: more readable and compact
than XML and more flexible than Windows' "INI" file format.
- A low-footprint implementation
- Proper documentation.
.
This package contains the files needed in order to use libconfig
in your own programs.
