There currently is no package for libconfig (http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/). This is a very well designed, constructed, and documented configuration file parser for C/C++ applications. I have debianized it and would like to submit it. |
There currently is no package for libconfig (http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/). This is a very well designed, constructed, and documented configuration file parser for C/C++ applications. It has already been debianized it and it should be added. If the existing maintainer has no interest in keeping it maintained, I will be glad to do so. |

Libconfig is a simple library for manipulating structured configuration files, like this one: test.cfg. This file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string parsing in application code.
Libconfig is very compact — just 38K for the stripped C shared library (less than one-fourth the size of the expat XML parser library) and 66K for the stripped C++ shared library. This makes it well-suited for memory-constrained systems like handheld devices.
The library includes bindings for both the C and C++ languages. It works on POSIX-compliant UNIX systems (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD) and Windows (2000, XP and later).
