  31 /*
  32   wxFileConfig derives from base Config and implements file based config class,
  33   i.e. it uses ASCII disk files to store the information. These files are
  34   alternatively called INI, .conf or .rc in the documentation. They are
  35   organized in groups or sections, which can nest (i.e. a group contains
  36   subgroups, which contain their own subgroups &c). Each group has some
  37   number of entries, which are "key = value" pairs. More precisely, the format
  38   is:
  39
  40   # comments are allowed after either ';' or '#' (Win/UNIX standard)
  41
  42   # blank lines (as above) are ignored
  43
  44   # global entries are members of special (no name) top group
  45   written_for = Windows
  46   platform    = Linux
  47
  48   # the start of the group 'Foo'
  49   [Foo]                           # may put comments like this also
  50   # following 3 lines are entries
  51   key = value
  52   another_key = "  strings with spaces in the beginning should be quoted, \
  53                    otherwise the spaces are lost"
  54   last_key = but you don't have to put " normally (nor quote them, like here)
  55
  56   # subgroup of the group 'Foo'
  57   # (order is not important, only the name is: separator is '/', as in paths)
  58   [Foo/Bar]
  59   # entries prefixed with "!" are immutable, i.e. can't be changed if they are
  60   # set in the system-wide config file
  61   !special_key = value
  62   bar_entry = whatever
  63
  64   [Foo/Bar/Fubar]   # depth is (theoretically :-) unlimited
  65   # may have the same name as key in another section
  66   bar_entry = whatever not
  67
  68   You have {read/write/delete}Entry functions (guess what they do) and also
  69   setCurrentPath to select current group. enum{Subgroups/Entries} allow you
  70   to get all entries in the config file (in the current group). Finally,
  71   flush() writes immediately all changed entries to disk (otherwise it would
  72   be done automatically in dtor)
  73
  74   wxFileConfig manages not less than 2 config files for each program: global
  75   and local (or system and user if you prefer). Entries are read from both of
  76   them and the local entries override the global ones unless the latter is
  77   immutable (prefixed with '!') in which case a warning message is generated
  78   and local value is ignored. Of course, the changes are always written to local
  79   file only.
  80
  81   The names of these files can be specified in a number of ways. First of all,
  82   you can use the standard convention: using the ctor which takes 'strAppName'
  83   parameter will probably be sufficient for 90% of cases. If, for whatever
  84   reason you wish to use the files with some other names, you can always use the
  85   second ctor.
  86
  87   wxFileConfig also may automatically expand the values of environment variables
  88   in the entries it reads: for example, if you have an entry
  89     score_file = $HOME/.score
  90   a call to Read(&str, "score_file") will return a complete path to .score file
  91   unless the expansion was previousle disabled with SetExpandEnvVars(FALSE) call
  92   (it's on by default, the current status can be retrieved with
  93    IsExpandingEnvVars function).
