Detailed Description

RTE Configuration File

This library allows reading application defined parameters from standard format configuration file.

Definition in file rte_cfgfile.h.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENT_CHARACTER

#define CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENT_CHARACTER   ';'

Defines the default comment character used for parsing config files.

Definition at line 64 of file rte_cfgfile.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ anonymous enum

anonymous enum

cfgfile load operation flags

Enumerator
CFG_FLAG_GLOBAL_SECTION 

Indicates that the file supports key value entries before the first defined section. These entries can be accessed in the "GLOBAL" section.

CFG_FLAG_EMPTY_VALUES 

Indicates that file supports key value entries where the value can be zero length (e.g., "key=").
