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.

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

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

198 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that it returns -1 on error rather
199 * than dying.
201 int git_parse_maybe_bool(const char *);
204 * Parse the string to an integer, including unit factors. Dies on error;
205 * otherwise, returns the parsed result.
207 int git_config_int(const char *, const char *);
209 int64_t git_config_int64(const char *, const char *);
212 * Identical to `git_config_int`, but for unsigned longs.
214 unsigned long git_config_ulong(const char *, const char *);
216 ssize_t git_config_ssize_t(const char *, const char *);
219 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that integers are returned as-is, and
220 * an `is_bool` flag is unset.
222 int git_config_bool_or_int(const char *, const char *, int *);
225 * Parse a string into a boolean value, respecting keywords like "true" and
226 * "false". Integer values are converted into true/false values (when they
227 * are non-zero or zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If
228 * parsing is successful, the return value is the result.
230 int git_config_bool(const char *, const char *);
233 * Allocates and copies the value string into the `dest` parameter; if no
234 * string is given, prints an error message and returns -1.
236 int git_config_string(const char **, const char *, const char *);

265 * of the git_config_set_multivar*() methods.
269 * When CONFIG_FLAGS_MULTI_REPLACE is specified, all matching key/values
270 * are removed before a single new pair is written. If the flag is not
271 * present, then set operations replace only the first match.
273 #define CONFIG_FLAGS_MULTI_REPLACE (1 << 0)

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

342 * Include Directives
343 * ------------------
345 * By default, the config parser does not respect include directives.
346 * However, a caller can use the special `git_config_include` wrapper
347 * callback to support them. To do so, you simply wrap your "real" callback
348 * function and data pointer in a `struct config_include_data`, and pass
349 * the wrapper to the regular config-reading functions. For example:
351 * -------------------------------------------
352 * int read_file_with_include(const char *file, config_fn_t fn, void *data)
354 * struct config_include_data inc = CONFIG_INCLUDE_INIT;
355 * inc.fn = fn;
356 * inc.data = data;
357 * return git_config_from_file(git_config_include, file, &inc);
359 * -------------------------------------------
361 * `git_config` respects includes automatically. The lower-level
362 * `git_config_from_file` does not.

366 int depth;

372 int git_config_include(const char *name, const char *value, void *data);
375 * Match and parse a config key of the form:
377 * section.(subsection.)?key
379 * (i.e., what gets handed to a config_fn_t). The caller provides the section;
380 * we return -1 if it does not match, 0 otherwise. The subsection and key
381 * out-parameters are filled by the function (and *subsection is NULL if it is
382 * missing).
384 * If the subsection pointer-to-pointer passed in is NULL, returns 0 only if
385 * there is no subsection at all.
387 int parse_config_key(const char *var,
388 const char *section,
389 const char **subsection, size_t *subsection_len,
390 const char **key);
393 * Custom Configsets
394 * -----------------
396 * A `config_set` can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
397 * config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
398 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
400 * ----------------------------------------
401 * struct config_set gm_config;
402 * git_configset_init(&gm_config);
403 * int b;
404 * //we add config files to the config_set
405 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");
406 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules_alt");
408 * if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
409 * //hack hack hack
412 * when we are done with the configset:
413 * git_configset_clear(&gm_config);
414 * ----------------------------------------

522 * Querying For Specific Variables

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