A simple and small ini file parsing library. Licensed under MIT.

I tried to make this easily usable for anyone, no matter how inexperienced or stubborn. If you are new to C, I recommend you use the source inclusion method. I plan on adding a header-only "mirror" of this library in the future, so check back if that's your kinda thing.

Just paste ini.c and ini.h into your project and compile ini.c along with your own project files.

Just drop this repo into your project and add it as a subdirectory to your target. Something like:

add_subdirectory(ini)
target_link_libraries(project_name PRIVATE ini)

If you the modularity of CMake but are allergic to modern build systems for some reason, you can slap this repo into your root and call the Makefile from your own. You can grab the object file from ini/build/ afterwards and do what you please with it.

$(MAKE) -C ini/ release   # release build
$(MAKE) -C ini/ debug     # debug build
INI_OBJ = ini/build/ini.o # grab the object file. you're on
                          # your own from here

You can find the documentation here. You can find example code, including both stack and heap usage, in the example/ directory.

The library is open to contributions. I don't have any strict guidelines besides please don't make any stylistic contributions. I'm open to anything else, please don't make me change my mind on that :)

Make sure all test cases pass under both debug and release. Ensure no memory is leaked. I will be running these tests if you open a PR. If they fail or a memory profiler screams about your code, I'm going to immediately close your pull request.
