  33 /*
  34   wxFileConfig derives from base Config and implements file based config class,
  35   i.e. it uses ASCII disk files to store the information. These files are
  36   alternatively called INI, .conf or .rc in the documentation. They are
  37   organized in groups or sections, which can nest (i.e. a group contains
  38   subgroups, which contain their own subgroups &c). Each group has some
  39   number of entries, which are "key = value" pairs. More precisely, the format
  40   is:
  41
  42   # comments are allowed after either ';' or '#' (Win/UNIX standard)
  43
  44   # blank lines (as above) are ignored
  45
  46   # global entries are members of special (no name) top group
  47   written_for = Windows
  48   platform    = Linux
  49
  50   # the start of the group 'Foo'
  51   [Foo]                           # may put comments like this also
  52   # following 3 lines are entries
  53   key = value
  54   another_key = "  strings with spaces in the beginning should be quoted, \
  55                    otherwise the spaces are lost"
  56   last_key = but you don't have to put " normally (nor quote them, like here)
  57
  58   # subgroup of the group 'Foo'
  59   # (order is not important, only the name is: separator is '/', as in paths)
  60   [Foo/Bar]
  61   # entries prefixed with "!" are immutable, i.e. can't be changed if they are
  62   # set in the system-wide config file
  63   !special_key = value
  64   bar_entry = whatever
  65
  66   [Foo/Bar/Fubar]   # depth is (theoretically :-) unlimited
  67   # may have the same name as key in another section
  68   bar_entry = whatever not
  69
  70   You have {read/write/delete}Entry functions (guess what they do) and also
  71   setCurrentPath to select current group. enum{Subgroups/Entries} allow you
  72   to get all entries in the config file (in the current group). Finally,
  73   flush() writes immediately all changed entries to disk (otherwise it would
  74   be done automatically in dtor)
  75
  76   wxFileConfig manages not less than 2 config files for each program: global
  77   and local (or system and user if you prefer). Entries are read from both of
  78   them and the local entries override the global ones unless the latter is
  79   immutable (prefixed with '!') in which case a warning message is generated
  80   and local value is ignored. Of course, the changes are always written to local
  81   file only.
  82
  83   The names of these files can be specified in a number of ways. First of all,
  84   you can use the standard convention: using the ctor which takes 'strAppName'
  85   parameter will probably be sufficient for 90% of cases. If, for whatever
  86   reason you wish to use the files with some other names, you can always use the
  87   second ctor.
  88
  89   wxFileConfig also may automatically expand the values of environment variables
  90   in the entries it reads: for example, if you have an entry
  91     score_file = $HOME/.score
  92   a call to Read(&str, "score_file") will return a complete path to .score file
  93   unless the expansion was previousle disabled with SetExpandEnvVars(FALSE) call
  94   (it's on by default, the current status can be retrieved with
  95    IsExpandingEnvVars function).
