# This is just a sample config file # It is hereby placed into the public domain. # A sample INI file # An INI file is separated into sections. # Each section starts with its name in square brackets on a line by itself. # Each section contains key=value pairs, with the whitespace before # the key, around the equal sign, or at the end of the line simply ignored. # A value may span multiple lines - a line continuation is denoted by # a backslash (\) as the last character on the line. ; Empty lines, lines consisting entirely of whitespace, or lines with ; optional whitespace at the start, followed by a semicolon (;) or ; a pound sign (#) and any other characters, are ignored. [a] # This is section a. key1=value1 key2 = value2 key3 =\ val'ue3 [ b sect ] key4= v'alu'e4 [ c ] key5 = \ \ # value5 # And nothing more. # Okay, let's see what happens now... # A section may be split within the file - another section header with # the same name continues the definition of variables in the same section. [a] key6=value6 [b sect] key7=value7 # And that's all, folks!
