11 wxFileConfig implements wxConfigBase interface for
12 storing and retrieving configuration information using plain text files. The
13 files have a simple format reminiscent of Windows INI files with lines of the
14 form @c "key = value" defining the keys and lines of special form
15 @c "[group]" indicating the start of each group.
16
17 This class is used by default for wxConfig on Unix platforms but may also be
18 used explicitly if you want to use files and not the registry even under
19 Windows.

33 they are used as the names of the user and system-wide configuration
34 files (the latter is only read by the program while the former is read
35 from and written to). Otherwise the behaviour depends on @a style
36 parameter. If it includes ::wxCONFIG_USE_LOCAL_FILE, then the local
37 file name is constructed from the information in @a appName and @a
38 vendorName arguments in a system-dependent way. If
39 ::wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE is not specified at all (and @a
40 globalFilename is empty) then the system-wide file is not used at all.
41 Otherwise its name and path are also constructed in the way appropriate
42 for the current platform from the application and vendor names.
