configuration-parser

A very simple configuration parser in C.

With this simple library you can easily parse configuration files formatted as follow:

# This is a comment
Key1  =  Value1
Key2  =  Value2
...
KeyN  =  ValueN

Library Usage

To use the configuration parser just include the header and use the functions like that:

FILE* conf_file = fopen("path/to/conf/file");
conf_entries_t* conf = configuration_parse_file(conf_file);
if(conf == NULL)
  printf("Invalid configuration file...");
else {
  char* value = configuration_read_value(conf, "Key1");
  if(value == NULL)
    printf("There's no value for key: Key1");
  else {
    doSomething();
    doSomething();
    doSomething();
  }
  configuration_free(&conf);
}
