10 * The config API gives callers a way to access Git configuration files
11 * (and files which have the same syntax).
13 * General Usage
14 * -------------
16 * Config files are parsed linearly, and each variable found is passed to a
17 * caller-provided callback function. The callback function is responsible
18 * for any actions to be taken on the config option, and is free to ignore
19 * some options. It is not uncommon for the configuration to be parsed
20 * several times during the run of a Git program, with different callbacks
21 * picking out different variables useful to themselves.

197 * entries with new ones (e.g., if both the user-wide `~/.gitconfig` and
198 * repo-specific `.git/config` contain `color.ui`, the config machinery
199 * will first feed the user-wide one to the callback, and then the

219 * to `NULL`.
221 * - `opts`
222 * Specify options to adjust the behavior of parsing config files. See `struct
223 * config_options` in `config.h` for details. As an example: regular `git_config`
224 * sets `opts.respect_includes` to `1` by default.

264 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that integers are returned as-is, and
265 * an `is_bool` flag is unset.
267 int git_config_bool_or_int(const char *, const char *, int *);
270 * Parse a string into a boolean value, respecting keywords like "true" and
271 * "false". Integer values are converted into true/false values (when they
272 * are non-zero or zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If
273 * parsing is successful, the return value is the result.
275 int git_config_bool(const char *, const char *);
278 * Allocates and copies the value string into the `dest` parameter; if no

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

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

415 * config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
416 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
418 * ----------------------------------------
419 * struct config_set gm_config;
420 * git_configset_init(&gm_config);
421 * int b;
422 * //we add config files to the config_set
423 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");

426 * if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
