CFL

Introduction

The Configuration File Library (CFL) is a collection of routines for manipulating configuration files. It is a portable library fully written from scratch in pure ANSI C. It is designed to offer for C programmers common routines for manipulating configuration text files.

The current version is CFL-1.1. It was released on April 24, 2007.

You can download it from http://ndarnis.free.fr/cfl/cfl-1.1.tar.gz.

CFL provides a modern Applications Programming Interface (API) for C programmers, while allowing wrappers to be written for very high level languages.

Documentation

The CFL Reference Manualis available online, in following formats:

Supported Platforms

CFL is developed on Debian GNU/Linux with gcc. It should build on any GNU/linux distribution with gcc. GDSL has been tested with success under the following distributions:

  • Debian
  • Mandrake
  • RedHat

We require that CFL should build on any system with an ANSI C compiler, so if doesn’t, that’s a bug and we would love a patch!

Requirements

CFL needs GDSL library to work. GDSL could be found on GDSL HomePage.
