Sept 2023: We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain this library!

Maintaining open-source projects takes time we cannot always easily find. If you feel up to the task and already know this library well, please get in touch by email (ndevilla AT gmail) and let's figure it out!

This modules offers parsing of ini files from C. See the complete documentation in HTML format: from this directory, open the file html/index.html with any HTML-capable browser.

Key features:

• Small : around 1500 sloc inside 4 files (2 .c and 2 .h)
• Portable : no dependancies, written in -ansi -pedantic C89
• Fully re-entrant : easy to make it thread-safe (just surround library calls by mutex)

A simple make at the root of the project should be enough to get the static (i.e. libiniparser.a) and shared (i.e. libiniparser.so.0) libraries compiled.

You should consider trying the following rules too :

• make check : run unit tests
• make example : compile the example, run it with ./example/iniexample

For installation and packaging see iniparser-meta.
