INI Manipulation using C
Using C to read and write INI file
Introduction
This project uses C and linklist to implement and manage INI files. This project is a sample of linklist implementation.
Sample Usage
ini_start("sample.ini");
//save_as("test.ini");
buffer = get_value("Main","PLC");
printf("value : %s\n",buffer);
printf("last error is %s\n",get_last_error());
//print_content();
ini_end();
How To Implement
This project uses linklist to make a sample tree for collecting INI file data. INI file in this project must separate using "=". This is a sample function to manage INI file.
