26 * Module name: params
28 * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- **
30 * This module performs lexical analysis and initial parsing of a
31 * Windows-like parameter file. It recognizes and handles four token
32 * types: section-name, parameter-name, parameter-value, and
33 * end-of-file. Comments and line continuation are handled
34 * internally.
36 * The entry point to the module is function pm_process(). This
37 * function opens the source file, calls the Parse() function to parse
38 * the input, and then closes the file when either the EOF is reached
39 * or a fatal error is encountered.
41 * A sample parameter file might look like this:
43 * [section one]
44 * parameter one = value string
45 * parameter two = another value
46 * [section two]
47 * new parameter = some value or t'other
49 * The parameter file is divided into sections by section headers:
50 * section names enclosed in square brackets (eg. [section one]).
51 * Each section contains parameter lines, each of which consist of a
52 * parameter name and value delimited by an equal sign. Roughly, the
53 * syntax is:
55 * <file> :== { <section> } EOF
57 * <section> :== <section header> { <parameter line> }
59 * <section header> :== '[' NAME ']'
61 * <parameter line> :== NAME '=' VALUE '\n'
63 * Blank lines and comment lines are ignored. Comment lines are lines
64 * beginning with either a semicolon (';') or a pound sign ('#').
66 * All whitespace in section names and parameter names is compressed
67 * to single spaces. Leading and trailing whitespace is stipped from
68 * both names and values.
70 * Only the first equals sign in a parameter line is significant.
71 * Parameter values may contain equals signs, square brackets and
72 * semicolons. Internal whitespace is retained in parameter values,
73 * with the exception of the '\r' character, which is stripped for
74 * historic reasons. Parameter names may not start with a left square
75 * bracket, an equal sign, a pound sign, or a semicolon, because these
76 * are used to identify other tokens.
