Description
INI Parser Directives
The INI parser (key/value data)
handles all types of Windows-
style configuration files,
key/value files, and some files
that contain blocks of data. The
key/value files can use any
delimiter, including white space.
The delimiter is a regular
expression. Any value other
than the delimiter is allowed in
the value and data blocks.
ALLOWBLOCKS Advanced directive. In most
cases, use the INITYPE directive
instead. This directive enables
support for data blocks in the
configuration files.
ALLOWSTANDALONE Advanced directive. In most
cases, use the INITYPE directive
instead.
BLOCKEND Advanced directive. In most
cases, use the INITYPE directive
instead.
BLOCKSTART Advanced directive. In most
cases, use the INITYPE directive
instead.
DELIMITER Used to configure unusual
key/value files with the
INITYPE directive, and to set
the separator between keys and
values in configuration files.
