alini

alini is a simple parser for INI files written in C. It is part of Alurio (alurio.org).

Usage

alini is generally used this way:

1. Create a parser using alini_parser_create().
2. Set the callback that will be called when a key/value pair is found using alini_parser_setcallback_foundkvpair().
3. Start the parser using alini_parser_start().
4. Cleanup by disposing the parser using alini_parser_dispose().

A simple example is provided in main.c.

To “step” the parser, i.e. have it parse the next key/value pair and call the callback, use alini_parser_step(). Generally, this should not be necessary; you can always use alini_parser_start() instead.

To stop the parsing process, use alini_parser_halt(). No further callbacks will be called.

The parser should not be disposed in a callback method; it should instead be deallocated afterwards.
