38 wxFileConfig derives from base Config and implements file based config class,
39 i.e. it uses ASCII disk files to store the information. These files are
40 alternatively called INI, .conf or .rc in the documentation. They are
41 organized in groups or sections, which can nest (i.e. a group contains
42 subgroups, which contain their own subgroups &c). Each group has some
43 number of entries, which are "key = value" pairs. More precisely, the format
44 is:
45
46 # comments are allowed after either ';' or '#' (Win/UNIX standard)
47
48 # blank lines (as above) are ignored
49
50 # global entries are members of special (no name) top group
51 written_for = Windows
52 platform = Linux
53
54 # the start of the group 'Foo'
55 [Foo] # may put comments like this also
56 # following 3 lines are entries
57 key = value
58 another_key = " strings with spaces in the beginning should be quoted, \
59 otherwise the spaces are lost"
60 last_key = but you don't have to put " normally (nor quote them, like here)
61
62 # subgroup of the group 'Foo'
63 # (order is not important, only the name is: separator is '/', as in paths)
64 [Foo/Bar]
65 # entries prefixed with "!" are immutable, i.e. can't be changed if they are
66 # set in the system-wide config file
67 !special_key = value
68 bar_entry = whatever
69
70 [Foo/Bar/Fubar] # depth is (theoretically :-) unlimited
71 # may have the same name as key in another section
72 bar_entry = whatever not
73
74 You have {read/write/delete}Entry functions (guess what they do) and also
75 setCurrentPath to select current group. enum{Subgroups/Entries} allow you
76 to get all entries in the config file (in the current group). Finally,
77 flush() writes immediately all changed entries to disk (otherwise it would
78 be done automatically in dtor)
79
80 wxFileConfig manages not less than 2 config files for each program: global
81 and local (or system and user if you prefer). Entries are read from both of
82 them and the local entries override the global ones unless the latter is
83 immutable (prefixed with '!') in which case a warning message is generated
84 and local value is ignored. Of course, the changes are always written to local
85 file only.
86
87 The names of these files can be specified in a number of ways. First of all,
88 you can use the standard convention: using the ctor which takes 'strAppName'
89 parameter will probably be sufficient for 90% of cases. If, for whatever
90 reason you wish to use the files with some other names, you can always use the
91 second ctor.
92
93 wxFileConfig also may automatically expand the values of environment variables
94 in the entries it reads: for example, if you have an entry
95 score_file = $HOME/.score
96 a call to Read(&str, "score_file") will return a complete path to .score file
97 unless the expansion was previousle disabled with SetExpandEnvVars(FALSE) call
98 (it's on by default, the current status can be retrieved with
99 IsExpandingEnvVars function).
