libConfuse - Configuration file parsing library

'libConfuse' is a configuration file parser library. It supports sections and (lists of) values (strings, integers, floats, booleans or other sections), as well as other features (such as single/double-quoted strings, environment variable expansion, functions and nested include statements). It is easy to add configuration file capability to a program via a simple API.

'libConfuse' is not meant to be a configuration file parser library with a gazillion features; rather, it aims to be easy to use and quick to integrate with your code. 'libConfuse' was formerly called libcfg; the name was changed to avoid confusion with other similar libraries.
