OSSP cfg - Configuration Parsing
Version 0.9.11 (10-Aug-2006)
ABSTRACT
OSSP cfg is a ISO-C library for parsing arbitrary C/C++-style
configuration files. A configuration is sequence of directives. Each
directive consists of zero or more tokens. Each token can be either
a string or again a complete sequence. This means the configuration
syntax has a recursive structure and this way allows to create
configurations with arbitrarily nested sections.
Additionally the configuration syntax provides complex
single/double/balanced quoting of tokens, hexadecimal/octal/decimal
character encodings, character escaping, C/C++ and Shell-style
comments, etc. The library API allows importing a configuration text
into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), traversing the AST and optionally
exporting the AST again as a configuration text.
