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.

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

163 * Git code that is looking up configuration variables.
164 * It is intended for advanced callers like `git-config`, which are
165 * intentionally tweaking the normal config-lookup process.
166 * It takes two extra parameters:
168 * - `config_source`
169 * If this parameter is non-NULL, it specifies the source to parse for
170 * configuration, rather than looking in the usual files. See `struct
171 * git_config_source` in `config.h` for details. Regular `git_config` defaults
172 * to `NULL`.
174 * - `opts`
175 * Specify options to adjust the behavior of parsing config files. See `struct
176 * config_options` in `config.h` for details. As an example: regular `git_config`
177 * sets `opts.respect_includes` to `1` by default.

184 * Value Parsing Helpers

194 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that it returns -1 on error rather
195 * than dying.
197 int git_parse_maybe_bool(const char *);
200 * Parse the string to an integer, including unit factors. Dies on error;
201 * otherwise, returns the parsed result.
203 int git_config_int(const char *, const char *);
205 int64_t git_config_int64(const char *, const char *);
208 * Identical to `git_config_int`, but for unsigned longs.
210 unsigned long git_config_ulong(const char *, const char *);
212 ssize_t git_config_ssize_t(const char *, const char *);
215 * Same as `git_config_bool`, except that integers are returned as-is, and
216 * an `is_bool` flag is unset.
218 int git_config_bool_or_int(const char *, const char *, int *);
221 * Parse a string into a boolean value, respecting keywords like "true" and
222 * "false". Integer values are converted into true/false values (when they
223 * are non-zero or zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If
224 * parsing is successful, the return value is the result.
226 int git_config_bool(const char *, const char *);
229 * Allocates and copies the value string into the `dest` parameter; if no
230 * string is given, prints an error message and returns -1.

246 * parameter.
248 void git_config_set_in_file(const char *, const char *, const char *);
250 int git_config_set_gently(const char *, const char *);
253 * write config values to `.git/config`, takes a key/value pair as parameter.

261 int git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently(const char *, const char *, const char *, const char *, int);
264 * takes four parameters:
266 * - the name of the file, as a string, to which key/value pairs will be written.
268 * - the name of key, as a string. This is in canonical "flat" form: the section,
269 * subsection, and variable segments will be separated by dots, and the section
270 * and variable segments will be all lowercase.
271 * E.g., `core.ignorecase`, `diff.SomeType.textconv`.
273 * - the value of the variable, as a string. If value is equal to NULL, it will
274 * remove the matching key from the config file.
276 * - the value regex, as a string. It will disregard key/value pairs where value
277 * does not match.
279 * - a multi_replace value, as an int. If value is equal to zero, nothing or only
280 * one matching key/value is replaced, else all matching key/values (regardless
281 * how many) are removed, before the new pair is written.
283 * It returns 0 on success.

290 * If NULL is passed through `new_name` parameter,
291 * the section will be removed from the config file.

315 * Include Directives
316 * ------------------
318 * By default, the config parser does not respect include directives.
319 * However, a caller can use the special `git_config_include` wrapper
320 * callback to support them. To do so, you simply wrap your "real" callback
321 * function and data pointer in a `struct config_include_data`, and pass
322 * the wrapper to the regular config-reading functions. For example:
324 * -------------------------------------------
325 * int read_file_with_include(const char *file, config_fn_t fn, void *data)
327 * struct config_include_data inc = CONFIG_INCLUDE_INIT;
328 * inc.fn = fn;
329 * inc.data = data;
330 * return git_config_from_file(git_config_include, file, &inc);
332 * -------------------------------------------
334 * `git_config` respects includes automatically. The lower-level
335 * `git_config_from_file` does not.

339 int depth;

348 * Match and parse a config key of the form:
350 * section.(subsection.)?key
352 * (i.e., what gets handed to a config_fn_t). The caller provides the section;
353 * we return -1 if it does not match, 0 otherwise. The subsection and key
354 * out-parameters are filled by the function (and *subsection is NULL if it is
355 * missing).
357 * If the subsection pointer-to-pointer passed in is NULL, returns 0 only if
358 * there is no subsection at all.

361 const char *section,
362 const char **subsection, size_t *subsection_len,
363 const char **key);
366 * Custom Configsets
367 * -----------------
369 * A `config_set` can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
370 * config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
371 * `~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
373 * ----------------------------------------
374 * struct config_set gm_config;
375 * git_configset_init(&gm_config);
376 * int b;
377 * //we add config files to the config_set
378 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");
379 * git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules_alt");
381 * if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
382 * //hack hack hack
385 * when we are done with the configset:
386 * git_configset_clear(&gm_config);
387 * ----------------------------------------
389 * Configset API provides functions for the above mentioned work flow

395 struct string_list value_list;

495 * Querying For Specific Variables
