9 * The config API gives callers a way to access Git configuration files
10 * (and files which have the same syntax).
12 * General Usage
13 * -------------
15 * Config files are parsed linearly, and each variable found is passed to a
16 * caller-provided callback function. The callback function is responsible
17 * for any actions to be taken on the config option, and is free to ignore
18 * some options. It is not uncommon for the configuration to be parsed
19 * several times during the run of a Git program, with different callbacks
20 * picking out different variables useful to themselves.

161 * Most programs will simply want to look up variables in all config files
162 * that Git knows about, using the normal precedence rules. To do this,
163 * call `git_config` with a callback function and void data pointer.
165 * `git_config` will read all config sources in order of increasing
166 * priority. Thus a callback should typically overwrite previously-seen
167 * entries with new ones (e.g., if both the user-wide `~/.gitconfig` and
168 * repo-specific `.git/config` contain `color.ui`, the config machinery
169 * will first feed the user-wide one to the callback, and then the
170 * repo-specific one; by overwriting, the higher-priority repo-specific

182 * intentionally tweaking the normal config-lookup process.
183 * It takes two extra parameters:
185 * - `config_source`
186 * If this parameter is non-NULL, it specifies the source to parse for
187 * configuration, rather than looking in the usual files. See `struct
188 * git_config_source` in `config.h` for details. Regular `git_config` defaults
189 * to `NULL`.
191 * - `opts`
192 * Specify options to adjust the behavior of parsing config files. See `struct
193 * config_options` in `config.h` for details. As an example: regular `git_config`
194 * sets `opts.respect_includes` to `1` by default.

232 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that integers are returned as-is, and
233 * an `is_bool` flag is unset.
235 int git_config_bool_or_int(const char *, const char *, int *);
238 * Parse a string into a boolean value, respecting keywords like "true" and
239 * "false". Integer values are converted into true/false values (when they
240 * are non-zero or zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If
241 * parsing is successful, the return value is the result.
243 int git_config_bool(const char *, const char *);
246 * Allocates and copies the value string into the `dest` parameter; if no
247 * string is given, prints an error message and returns -1.

285 * of the git_config_set_multivar*() methods.
289 * When CONFIG_FLAGS_MULTI_REPLACE is specified, all matching key/values
290 * are removed before a single new pair is written. If the flag is not

312 * - the name of key, as a string. This is in canonical "flat" form: the section,
313 * subsection, and variable segments will be separated by dots, and the section
314 * and variable segments will be all lowercase.
315 * E.g., `core.ignorecase`, `diff.SomeType.textconv`.
317 * - the value of the variable, as a string. If value is equal to NULL, it will
318 * remove the matching key from the config file.
320 * - the value regex, as a string. It will disregard key/value pairs where value
321 * does not match.

382 * -----------------
384 * A `config_set` can be used to construct an in-memory cache for

386 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
388 * ----------------------------------------
389 * struct config_set gm_config;
390 * git_configset_init(&gm_config);
391 * int b;
392 * //we add config files to the config_set
393 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");
394 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules_alt");
396 * if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
