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.

147 * Most programs will simply want to look up variables in all config files
148 * that Git knows about, using the normal precedence rules. To do this,
149 * call `git_config` with a callback function and void data pointer.
151 * `git_config` will read all config sources in order of increasing
152 * priority. Thus a callback should typically overwrite previously-seen
153 * entries with new ones (e.g., if both the user-wide `~/.gitconfig` and
154 * repo-specific `.git/config` contain `color.ui`, the config machinery
155 * will first feed the user-wide one to the callback, and then the
156 * repo-specific one; by overwriting, the higher-priority repo-specific
157 * value is left at the end).

166 * intentionally tweaking the normal config-lookup process.
167 * It takes two extra parameters:
169 * - `config_source`
170 * If this parameter is non-NULL, it specifies the source to parse for
171 * configuration, rather than looking in the usual files. See `struct
172 * git_config_source` in `config.h` for details. Regular `git_config` defaults
173 * to `NULL`.
175 * - `opts`
176 * Specify options to adjust the behavior of parsing config files. See `struct
177 * config_options` in `config.h` for details. As an example: regular `git_config`
178 * sets `opts.respect_includes` to `1` by default.

195 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that it returns -1 on error rather
196 * than dying.
198 int git_parse_maybe_bool(const char *);
201 * Parse the string to an integer, including unit factors. Dies on error;
202 * otherwise, returns the parsed result.
204 int git_config_int(const char *, const char *);
206 int64_t git_config_int64(const char *, const char *);
209 * Identical to `git_config_int`, but for unsigned longs.
211 unsigned long git_config_ulong(const char *, const char *);
213 ssize_t git_config_ssize_t(const char *, const char *);
216 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that integers are returned as-is, and
217 * an `is_bool` flag is unset.
219 int git_config_bool_or_int(const char *, const char *, int *);
222 * Parse a string into a boolean value, respecting keywords like "true" and
223 * "false". Integer values are converted into true/false values (when they
224 * are non-zero or zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If
225 * parsing is successful, the return value is the result.
227 int git_config_bool(const char *, const char *);
230 * Allocates and copies the value string into the `dest` parameter; if no
231 * string is given, prints an error message and returns -1.
233 int git_config_string(const char **, const char *, const char *);
236 * Similar to `git_config_string`, but expands `~` or `~user` into the
237 * user's home directory when found at the beginning of the path.

263 * of the git_config_set_multivar*() methods.
267 * When CONFIG_FLAGS_MULTI_REPLACE is specified, all matching key/values
268 * are removed before a single new pair is written. If the flag is not
269 * present, then set operations replace only the first match.

285 * takes four parameters:
287 * - the name of the file, as a string, to which key/value pairs will be written.
289 * - the name of key, as a string. This is in canonical "flat" form: the section,
290 * subsection, and variable segments will be separated by dots, and the section
291 * and variable segments will be all lowercase.
292 * E.g., `core.ignorecase`, `diff.SomeType.textconv`.
294 * - the value of the variable, as a string. If value is equal to NULL, it will
295 * remove the matching key from the config file.
297 * - the value regex, as a string. It will disregard key/value pairs where value
298 * does not match.
300 * - a flags value with bits corresponding to the CONFIG_FLAG_* macros.
302 * It returns 0 on success.

340 * Include Directives
341 * ------------------
343 * By default, the config parser does not respect include directives.
344 * However, a caller can use the special `git_config_include` wrapper
345 * callback to support them. To do so, you simply wrap your "real" callback
346 * function and data pointer in a `struct config_include_data`, and pass
347 * the wrapper to the regular config-reading functions. For example:
349 * -------------------------------------------
350 * int read_file_with_include(const char *file, config_fn_t fn, void *data)
352 * struct config_include_data inc = CONFIG_INCLUDE_INIT;
353 * inc.fn = fn;
354 * inc.data = data;
355 * return git_config_from_file(git_config_include, file, &inc);
357 * -------------------------------------------
359 * `git_config` respects includes automatically. The lower-level
360 * `git_config_from_file` does not.

373 * Match and parse a config key of the form:
375 * section.(subsection.)?key
377 * (i.e., what gets handed to a config_fn_t). The caller provides the section;
378 * we return -1 if it does not match, 0 otherwise. The subsection and key
379 * out-parameters are filled by the function (and *subsection is NULL if it is
380 * missing).
382 * If the subsection pointer-to-pointer passed in is NULL, returns 0 only if
383 * there is no subsection at all.
385 int parse_config_key(const char *var,
386 const char *section,
387 const char **subsection, size_t *subsection_len,
388 const char **key);
391 * Custom Configsets
392 * -----------------
394 * A `config_set` can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
395 * config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
396 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
398 * ----------------------------------------
399 * struct config_set gm_config;
400 * git_configset_init(&gm_config);
401 * int b;
402 * //we add config files to the config_set
403 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");
404 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules_alt");
406 * if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
407 * //hack hack hack
410 * when we are done with the configset:
411 * git_configset_clear(&gm_config);
412 * ----------------------------------------

520 * Querying For Specific Variables
