libconfig --- the ISO C++ port of KDE KConfig class

0.2

libconfig is the ISO C++ port of KDE KConfig class.

Current version is highly portable and has been tested under several common used environmants including Linux, FreeBsd, Solars and Windows98/2000.

It has almost the same functionality as KConfig in KDE lib except the following differences:

• KDE global config management routines are not supported
• all configure data is saved in ASCII format instead of UTF-8
• the bPersistent,bGloabl and bNLS parameters are not used and the corresponding functionalities are not supported in current version.

Note: to avoid name collision with KDE lib, all classes in libconfig are encapsulated in the namespace config.

The following code demostrates the easy use of this package:

see src/test.cpp for details. you can compile test.cpp using: g++ -o test -lconfig

 include <iostream>
 include <stdlib.h>
 include "ksimpleconfig.h"
 using namespace std;
 using config::KSimpleConfig;
 
 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {
 
     cout<<"write test configuration to test.conf"<<endl;
     //create a config object
     KSimpleConfig config("test.conf",false);
 
     //write a string list
     vector<string> str_list;
     str_list.push_back("str1");
     str_list.push_back("str2");
     config.writeEntry("str list",str_list);

     //write an empty string
     config.writeEntry("empty","");
 
     //create a config group and write some datum
     config.setGroup("test group");
     config.writeEntry("string1","str1");
     config.writeEntry("bool1",true);
     config.writeEntry("bool2",false);
     config.writeEntry("int1",0);
     config.writeEntry("int2",999);
     config.writeEntry("int3",-10);
     config.writeEntry("uint1",0);
     config.writeEntry("uint2",999);
     config.writeEntry("float1",0);
     config.writeEntry("float1",7.3);
 
     vector<string> groups = config.groupList();
     cout<<"total "<<config.groupList().size()<<" groups written:"<<endl;
     return EXIT_SUCCESS;
 }
