Description:

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 25K for the stripped C shared library (5
times smaller than the expat XML parser library) and 39K 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).
