Libconfig is a configuration file processing library that saves you from having to write your own configuration parsers and routines.

It supports callback functions, automatic variable assignment, and many different configuration file types such as Apache-like, Windows INI-like, and whitespace separated.

Configuration is processed in a logical manner: global configuration files, local configuration files, environment variables, and finally command line options.

Installation:

Libconfig uses GNU autoconf configure scripts to build and should build on almost any platform.

Building it should be as easy as:
./configure
make
make install

(note that `make' must not be BSD make, all other makes work fine.)

Requirements:
Optional Dependencies:
libopennet.
Libopennet allows URLs to be opened as easily as files, if it is available (and the --without-libopennet argument isn't passed to the `configure' script) libconfig will be able to process config files that are passed as URLs.
