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

  31         Constructor allowing to choose the file names to use.
  32
  33         If @a localFilename and/or @a globalFilename are explicitly specified,
  34         they are used as the names of the user and system-wide configuration
  35         files (the latter is only read by the program while the former is read
  36         from and written to). Otherwise the behaviour depends on @a style
  37         parameter. If it includes ::wxCONFIG_USE_LOCAL_FILE, then the local
  38         file name is constructed from the information in @a appName and @a
  39         vendorName arguments in a system-dependent way. If
  40         ::wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE is not specified at all (and @a
  41         globalFilename is empty) then the system-wide file is not used at all.
  42         Otherwise its name and path are also constructed in the way appropriate
  43         for the current platform from the application and vendor names.
