    Any available code to read configuration details from file ?

    would like to write a module in order to read a configuration from the file ?
    example:
    [MODULE]
    prop1=<value>
    prop2=<value>

    [MODULE1]
    prop1=<value>
    prop2=<value>


    I still can write in C program with basic parsing logic, but if there are any nice logic that is available in linux is really grt8. Or any application that uses parsing logic also fine. Could someone point out such a code ?

    Regards,
    JGtech.

    For some reason, I had thought GNU had a tool for this; a search for it didn't find one, but it did find libconfig - C/C++ Configuration File Library instead.

    EDIT: Think I was thinking of http://directory.fsf.org/project/libopts/

    glib also has similar capabilities: Key-value file parser, along with a lot of other, helpful stuff.
