◆ iniparser_dump()

void iniparser_dump	(	const dictionary *	d,
		FILE *	f
	)

Dump a dictionary to an opened file pointer.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to dump.
f	Opened file pointer to dump to.

Returns: void

This function prints out the contents of a dictionary, one element by line, onto the provided file pointer. It is OK to specify stderr or stdout as output files. This function is meant for debugging purposes mostly.

◆ iniparser_dump_ini()

void iniparser_dump_ini	(	const dictionary *	d,
		FILE *	f
	)

Save a dictionary to a loadable ini file.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to dump
f	Opened file pointer to dump to

Returns: void

This function dumps a given dictionary into a loadable ini file. It is Ok to specify stderr or stdout as output files.

◆ iniparser_dumpsection_ini()

void iniparser_dumpsection_ini	(	const dictionary *	d,
		const char *	s,
		FILE *	f
	)

Save a dictionary section to a loadable ini file.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to dump
s	Section name of dictionary to dump
f	Opened file pointer to dump to

Returns: void

This function dumps a given section of a given dictionary into a loadable ini file. It is Ok to specify stderr or stdout as output files.

◆ iniparser_find_entry()

int iniparser_find_entry	(	const dictionary *	ini,
		const char *	entry
	)

Finds out if a given entry exists in a dictionary.

Parameters

ini	Dictionary to search
entry	Name of the entry to look for

Returns: integer 1 if entry exists, 0 otherwise

Finds out if a given entry exists in the dictionary. Since sections are stored as keys with NULL associated values, this is the only way of querying for the presence of sections in a dictionary.

◆ iniparser_freedict()

void iniparser_freedict ( dictionary * d )

Free all memory associated to an ini dictionary.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to free

Returns: void

Free all memory associated to an ini dictionary. It is mandatory to call this function before the dictionary object gets out of the current context.

◆ iniparser_getboolean()

int iniparser_getboolean	(	const dictionary *	d,
		const char *	key,
		int	notfound
	)

Get the string associated to a key, convert to a boolean.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to search
key	Key string to look for
notfound	Value to return in case of error

Returns: integer

This function queries a dictionary for a key. A key as read from an ini file is given as "section:key". If the key cannot be found, the notfound value is returned.

A true boolean is found if one of the following is matched:

A string starting with 'y'
A string starting with 'Y'
A string starting with 't'
A string starting with 'T'
A string starting with '1'

A false boolean is found if one of the following is matched:

A string starting with 'n'
A string starting with 'N'
A string starting with 'f'
A string starting with 'F'
A string starting with '0'

The notfound value returned if no boolean is identified, does not necessarily have to be 0 or 1.

◆ iniparser_getdouble()

double iniparser_getdouble	(	const dictionary *	d,

		double	notfound
	)

Get the string associated to a key, convert to a double.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to search
key	Key string to look for
notfound	Value to return in case of error

Returns: double

This function queries a dictionary for a key. A key as read from an ini file is given as "section:key". If the key cannot be found, the notfound value is returned.

◆ iniparser_getint()

int iniparser_getint	(	const dictionary *	d,
		const char *	key,
		int	notfound
	)

Get the string associated to a key, convert to an int.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to search
key	Key string to look for
notfound	Value to return in case of error

Returns: integer

This function queries a dictionary for a key. A key as read from an ini file is given as "section:key". If the key cannot be found, the notfound value is returned.

Supported values for integers include the usual C notation so decimal, octal (starting with 0) and hexadecimal (starting with 0x) are supported. Examples:

"42" -> 42
"042" -> 34 (octal -> decimal)
"0x42" -> 66 (hexa -> decimal)

Warning: the conversion may overflow in various ways. Conversion is totally outsourced to strtol(), see the associated man page for overflow handling.

◆ iniparser_getnsec()

int iniparser_getnsec ( const dictionary * d )

Get number of sections in a dictionary.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to examine

Returns: int Number of sections found in dictionary

This function returns the number of sections found in a dictionary. The test to recognize sections is done on the string stored in the dictionary: a section name is given as "section" whereas a key is stored as "section:key", thus the test looks for entries that do not contain a colon.

This clearly fails in the case a section name contains a colon, but this should simply be avoided.

This function returns -1 in case of error.

◆ iniparser_getseckeys()

const char** iniparser_getseckeys	(	const dictionary *	d,
		const char *	s,
		const char **	keys
	)

Get the number of keys in a section of a dictionary.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to examine
s	Section name of dictionary to examine
keys	Already allocated array to store the keys in

Returns: The pointer passed as keys argument or NULL in case of error

This function queries a dictionary and finds all keys in a given section. The keys argument should be an array of pointers which size has been determined by calling iniparser_getsecnkeys function prior to this one.

Each pointer in the returned char pointer-to-pointer is pointing to a string allocated in the dictionary; do not free or modify them.

		int	n
	)

Get name for section n in a dictionary.

Parameters

d	Dictionary to examine
n	Section number (from 0 to nsec-1).

Returns: Pointer to char string

This function locates the n-th section in a dictionary and returns its name as a pointer to a string statically allocated inside the dictionary. Do not free or modify the returned string!

This function returns NULL in case of error.

def	Default value to return if key not found.

Returns: pointer to statically allocated character string

This function queries a dictionary for a key. A key as read from an ini file is given as "section:key". If the key cannot be found, the pointer passed as 'def' is returned. The returned char pointer is pointing to a string allocated in the dictionary, do not free or modify it.

Parse an ini file and return an allocated dictionary object.

Parameters

ininame Name of the ini file to read.

Returns: Pointer to newly allocated dictionary

This is the parser for ini files. This function is called, providing the name of the file to be read. It returns a dictionary object that should not be accessed directly, but through accessor functions instead.

The returned dictionary must be freed using iniparser_freedict().
