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
171 * value is left at the end).

178 * Lets the caller examine config while adjusting some of the default

180 * Git code that is looking up configuration variables.
181 * It is intended for advanced callers like `git-config`, which are
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.

201 * Value Parsing Helpers

212 * than dying.
214 int git_parse_maybe_bool(const char *);
217 * Parse the string to an integer, including unit factors. Dies on error;
218 * otherwise, returns the parsed result.

222 int64_t git_config_int64(const char *, const char *);
225 * Identical to `git_config_int`, but for unsigned longs.

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 *);

272 void git_config_set(const char *, const char *);
274 int git_config_parse_key(const char *, char **, size_t *);
277 * The following macros specify flag bits that alter the behavior
278 * of the git_config_set_multivar*() methods.
282 * When CONFIG_FLAGS_MULTI_REPLACE is specified, all matching key/values
283 * are removed before a single new pair is written. If the flag is not
284 * present, then set operations replace only the first match.

304 * - the name of key, as a string. This is in canonical "flat" form: the section,
305 * subsection, and variable segments will be separated by dots, and the section
306 * and variable segments will be all lowercase.
307 * E.g., `core.ignorecase`, `diff.SomeType.textconv`.
309 * - the value of the variable, as a string. If value is equal to NULL, it will
310 * remove the matching key from the config file.
312 * - the value regex, as a string. It will disregard key/value pairs where value
313 * does not match.
315 * - a flags value with bits corresponding to the CONFIG_FLAG_* macros.

373 * Custom Configsets
374 * -----------------
376 * A `config_set` can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
377 * config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
378 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
380 * ----------------------------------------
381 * struct config_set gm_config;
382 * git_configset_init(&gm_config);
383 * int b;
384 * //we add config files to the config_set
385 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");
386 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules_alt");
388 * if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
389 * //hack hack hack

393 * git_configset_clear(&gm_config);

502 * Querying For Specific Variables

505 * For programs wanting to query for specific variables in a non-callback
