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.

236 int git_config_bool_or_int(const char *, const char *, int *);
239 * Parse a string into a boolean value, respecting keywords like "true" and
240 * "false". Integer values are converted into true/false values (when they
241 * are non-zero or zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If

313 * - the name of key, as a string. This is in canonical "flat" form: the section,

315 * and variable segments will be all lowercase.
316 * E.g., `core.ignorecase`, `diff.SomeType.textconv`.

386 * config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
387 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
389 * ----------------------------------------

391 * git_configset_init(&gm_config);
392 * int b;
393 * //we add config files to the config_set
394 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");
