Macro Definition Documentation
#define CFG_END()
{0,0,CFGT_NONE,0,0,CFGF_NONE,0,{0,0,cfg_false,0,0},0,{0},0,0,0,0,0}
Terminate list of options. This must be the last initializer in the
option list.
Examples:
ftpconf.c, reread.c, and simple.c.
#define CFG_FUNC(name, func)
{name,0,CFGT_FUNC,0,0,CFGF_NONE,0,{0,0,cfg_false,0,0},func,{0},0,0,0,0,0}
Initialize a function.
Parameters:
name The name of the option
func The callback function.
See also:
cfg_func_t
Examples:
ftpconf.c.
#define CFG_PTR_CB(name, def, flags, parsecb, freecb) __CFG_PTR(name,
def, flags, 0, parsecb, freecb)
Initialize a user-defined option. CFG_PTR options can only be used
together with a value parsing callback.
Parameters:
name The name of the option
def Default value
flags Flags
parsecb Value parsing callback
freecb Memory release function
See also:
cfg_callback_t, cfg_free_func_t
#define CFG_SEC(name, opts, flags)
{name,0,CFGT_SEC,0,0,flags,opts,{0,0,cfg_false,0,0},0,{0},0,0,0,0,0}
Initialize a section.
Parameters:
name The name of the option
opts Array of options that are valid within this section
flags Flags, specify CFGF_MULTI if it should be possible to have
multiples of the same section, and CFGF_TITLE if the section(s)
must have a title (which can be used in the cfg_gettsec() function)
Examples:
ftpconf.c, and reread.c.
#define CFG_SIMPLE_INT(name, svalue) __CFG_INT(name, 0, CFGF_NONE,
svalue, 0)
Initialize a 'simple' integer option (see documentation for
CFG_SIMPLE_STR for more information). Note that confuse uses long
integers, so make sure that any pointer you provide for svalue points
to a long int rather than a normal int. Otherwise, you will have
strange problems on 64-bit architectures.
Examples:
simple.c.
#define CFG_SIMPLE_STR(name, svalue) __CFG_STR(name, 0, CFGF_NONE,
svalue, 0)
Initialize a 'simple' string option. 'Simple' options (in lack of a
better expression) does not support lists of values or multiple
sections. LibConfuse will store the value of a simple option in the
user-defined location specified by the value parameter in the
initializer. Simple options are not stored in the cfg_t context, only a
pointer. Sections can not be initialized as a 'simple' option.
As of version 2.2, libConfuse can now return the values of simple
options with the cfg_get functions. This allows using the new cfg_print
function with simple options.
libConfuse doesn't support handling default values for 'simple'
options. They are assumed to be set by the calling application before
cfg_parse is called.
Parameters:
name name of the option
svalue pointer to a character pointer (a char **). This value must
be initalized either to NULL or to a malloc()'ed string. You can't
use
char *user = 'joe';
...
cfg_opt_t opts[] = {
CFG_SIMPLE_STR('user', &user),
...
since libConfuse will try to free the static string 'joe' (which
is an error) when a 'user' option is found. Rather, use the
following code snippet:
char *user = strdup('joe');
...
cfg_opt_t opts[] = {
CFG_SIMPLE_STR('user', &user),
...
Alternatively, the default value can be set after the opts struct
is defined, as in:
char *user = 0;
...
cfg_opt_t opts[] = {
CFG_SIMPLE_STR('user', &user),
...
user = strdup('joe');
cfg = cfg_init(opts, 0);
cfg_parse(cfg, filename);
Examples:
simple.c.
#define CFG_SUCCESS 0

Typedef Documentation
typedef int(* cfg_callback_t) (cfg_t *cfg, cfg_opt_t *opt, const char
*value, void *result)
Value parsing callback prototype. This is a callback function
(different from the one registered with the CFG_FUNC initializer) used
to parse a value. This can be used to override the internal parsing of
a value.
Suppose you want an integer option that only can have certain values,
for example 1, 2 and 3, and these should be written in the
configuration file as 'yes', 'no' and 'maybe'. The callback function
would be called with the found value ('yes', 'no' or 'maybe') as a
string, and the result should be stored in the result parameter.
Parameters:
cfg The configuration file context.
opt The option.
value The value found in the configuration file.
result Pointer to storage for the result, cast to a void pointer.
Returns:
On success, 0 should be returned. All other values indicates an
error, and the parsing is aborted. The callback function should
notify the error itself, for example by calling cfg_error().
typedef void(* cfg_errfunc_t) (cfg_t *cfg, const char *fmt, va_list ap)
Error reporting function.
typedef void(* cfg_free_func_t) (void *value)
User-defined memory release function for CFG_PTR values. This callback
is used to free memory allocated in a value parsing callback function.
Especially useful for CFG_PTR options, since libConfuse will not itself
release such values. If the values are simply allocated with a
malloc(3), one can use the standard free(3) function here.
typedef int(* cfg_func_t) (cfg_t *cfg, cfg_opt_t *opt, int argc, const char
**argv)
Function prototype used by CFGT_FUNC options. This is a callback
function, registered with the CFG_FUNC initializer. Each time
libConfuse finds a function, the registered callback function is called
(parameters are passed as strings, any conversion to other types should
be made in the callback function). libConfuse does not support any
storage of the data found; these are passed as parameters to the
callback, and it's the responsibility of the callback function to do
whatever it should do with the data.
Parameters:
cfg The configuration file context.
opt The option.
argc Number of arguments passed. The callback function is
responsible for checking that the correct number of arguments are
passed.
argv Arguments as an array of character strings.
Returns:
On success, 0 should be returned. All other values indicates an
error, and the parsing is aborted. The callback function should
notify the error itself, for example by calling cfg_error().
See also:
CFG_FUNC
typedef void(* cfg_print_func_t) (cfg_opt_t *opt, unsigned int index, FILE
*fp)
Function prototype used by the cfg_print_ functions. This callback
function is used to print option values. For options with a value
parsing callback, this is often required, especially if a string is
mapped to an integer by the callback. This print callback must then map
the integer back to the appropriate string.
Except for functions, the print callback function should only print the
value of the option, not the name and the equal sign (that is handled
by the cfg_opt_print function). For function options however, the name
and the parenthesis must be printed by this function. The value to
print can be accessed with the cfg_opt_get functions.
Parameters:
opt The option structure (eg, as returned from cfg_getopt())
index Index of the value to get. Zero based.
fp File stream to print to, use stdout to print to the screen.
See also:
cfg_print, cfg_set_print_func
typedef int(* cfg_validate_callback2_t) (cfg_t *cfg, cfg_opt_t *opt, void
*value)
Validating callback2 prototype. This callback function is called before
an option is set using the cfg_set*() APIs. The function is called only
for strings, integers, and floats. Compared to the regular callback
function this takes a value pointer argument which must be casted
before use, but can also be used to correct a value before it is set,
e.g. when a too large value is set this can be used to set the MAX.
Returns:
On success, 0 should be returned. All other values indicates an
error, and the cfg_set*() function will return without setting the
value.
See also:
cfg_set_validate_func2()
typedef int(* cfg_validate_callback_t) (cfg_t *cfg, cfg_opt_t *opt)
Validating callback prototype. This callback function is called after
an option has been parsed and set. The function is called for both
fundamental values (strings, integers etc) as well as lists and
sections. This can for example be used to validate that all required
options in a section has been set to sane values.
Returns:
On success, 0 should be returned. All other values indicates an
error, and the parsing is aborted. The callback function should
notify the error itself, for example by calling cfg_error().

Function Documentation
DLLIMPORT int __export cfg_add_searchpath (cfg_t * cfg, const char * dir)
Add a searchpath directory to the configuration context, the const
char* argument will be duplicated and then freed as part of the usual
context takedown. All directories added to the context in this manner
will be searched for the file specified in cfg_parse(), and for those
included. All directories added with this function will be 'tilde
expanded'. Note that the current directory is not added to the
searchpath by default.
Parameters:
cfg The configuration file context as returned from cfg_init().
dir Directory to be added to the search path.
Returns:
On success, CFG_SUCCESS, on failure (which can only be caused by a
failed malloc()), CFG_PARSE_ERROR.

DLLIMPORT int __export cfg_include (cfg_t * cfg, cfg_opt_t * opt, int argc,
const char ** argv)
Predefined include-function. This function can be used in the options
passed to cfg_init() to specify a function for including other
configuration files in the parsing. For example: CFG_FUNC('include',
&cfg_include)
Examples:
ftpconf.c.

DLLIMPORT cfg_t* __export cfg_init (cfg_opt_t * opts, cfg_flag_t flags)
Create and initialize a cfg_t structure. This should be the first
function called when setting up the parsing of a configuration file.
The options passed in the first parameter is initialized using the
CFG_* initializers. The last option in the option array must be
CFG_END(), unless you like segmentation faults.
The options must no longer be defined in the same scope as where the
cfg_xxx functions are used (since version 2.3).
CFG_IGNORE_UNKNOWN can be specified to use the '__unknown' option
whenever an unknown option is parsed. Be sure to define an '__unknown'
option in each scope that unknown parameters are allowed.
Call setlocale() before calling this function to localize handling of
types, LC_CTYPE, and messages, LC_MESSAGES, since version 2.9:
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, '');
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, '');
Parameters:
opts An arrary of options
flags One or more flags (bitwise or'ed together). Currently only
CFGF_NOCASE and CFGF_IGNORE_UNKNOWN are available. Use 0 if no
flags are needed.
Returns:
A configuration context structure. This pointer is passed to almost
all other functions as the first parameter.

value The value to set. Memory for the string is allocated and the
value is copied. Any privious string value is freed.
index The index in the option value array that should be modified.
It is an error to set values with indices larger than 0 for options
without the CFGF_LIST flag set.
Returns:
POSIX OK(0), or non-zero on failure.

DLLIMPORT cfg_value_t* cfg_setopt (cfg_t * cfg, cfg_opt_t * opt, const char
* value)
Set an option (create an instance of an option).
Parameters:
cfg The configuration file context.
opt The option definition.
value The initial value for the option.
Returns:
Returns a pointer to the value object.

DLLIMPORT int __export cfg_setstr (cfg_t * cfg, const char * name, const
char * value)
Set the value of a string option given its name.
Parameters:
cfg The configuration file context.
name The name of the option.
value The value to set. Memory for the string is allocated and the
value is copied. Any previous string value is freed. If the option
is a list (the CFGF_LIST flag is set), only the first value (with
index 0) is set.
Returns:
POSIX OK(0), or non-zero on failure.
Examples:
simple.c.

DLLIMPORT unsigned int __export cfg_size (cfg_t * cfg, const char * name)
Return the number of values this option has. If no default value is
given for the option and no value was found in the config file, 0 will
be returned (ie, the option value is not set at all).
Note that there is no way to *not* specify a default value for
integers, floats and booleans. Ie, they always have default values
(since 0 or NULL is a valid integer/float/boolean value). Only strings
and lists may have no default value.
Parameters:
cfg The configuration file context.
name The name of the option.
Examples:
ftpconf.c, and reread.c.

DLLIMPORT char* __export cfg_tilde_expand (const char * filename)
Does tilde expansion (~ -> $HOME) on the filename.
Returns:
The expanded filename is returned. If a ~user was not found, the
original filename is returned. In any case, a dynamically allocated
string is returned, which should be free()'d by the caller.

DLLIMPORT const char* __export cfg_title (cfg_t * cfg)
Return the title of a section.
Parameters:
cfg The configuration file context.
Returns:
Returns the title, or 0 if there is no title. This string should
not be modified.
