72 * @title: Key-value file parser
73 * @short_description: parses .ini-like config files
75 * #GKeyFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing groups of
76 * key-value pairs, which we call "key files" for lack of a better name.
77 * Several freedesktop.org specifications use key files now, e.g the
78 * [Desktop Entry Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec)
79 * and the
80 * [Icon Theme Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec).
82 * The syntax of key files is described in detail in the
83 * [Desktop Entry Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec),
84 * here is a quick summary: Key files
85 * consists of groups of key-value pairs, interspersed with comments.
87 * |[
88 * # this is just an example
89 * # there can be comments before the first group
91 * [First Group]
93 * Name=Key File Example\tthis value shows\nescaping
95 * # localized strings are stored in multiple key-value pairs
96 * Welcome=Hello
97 * Welcome[de]=Hallo
98 * Welcome[fr_FR]=Bonjour
99 * Welcome[it]=Ciao
100 * Welcome[be@latin]=Hello
102 * [Another Group]
104 * Numbers=2;20;-200;0
106 * Booleans=true;false;true;true
107 * ]|
109 * Lines beginning with a '#' and blank lines are considered comments.
111 * Groups are started by a header line containing the group name enclosed
112 * in '[' and ']', and ended implicitly by the start of the next group or
113 * the end of the file. Each key-value pair must be contained in a group.
115 * Key-value pairs generally have the form `key=value`, with the
116 * exception of localized strings, which have the form
117 * `key[locale]=value`, with a locale identifier of the
118 * form `lang_COUNTRY@MODIFIER` where `COUNTRY` and `MODIFIER`
119 * are optional.
120 * Space before and after the '=' character are ignored. Newline, tab,
121 * carriage return and backslash characters in value are escaped as \n,
122 * \t, \r, and \\\\, respectively. To preserve leading spaces in values,
123 * these can also be escaped as \s.
125 * Key files can store strings (possibly with localized variants), integers,
126 * booleans and lists of these. Lists are separated by a separator character,
127 * typically ';' or ','. To use the list separator character in a value in
128 * a list, it has to be escaped by prefixing it with a backslash.
130 * This syntax is obviously inspired by the .ini files commonly met
131 * on Windows, but there are some important differences:
133 * - .ini files use the ';' character to begin comments,
134 * key files use the '#' character.
136 * - Key files do not allow for ungrouped keys meaning only
137 * comments can precede the first group.
139 * - Key files are always encoded in UTF-8.
141 * - Key and Group names are case-sensitive. For example, a group called
142 * [GROUP] is a different from [group].
144 * - .ini files don't have a strongly typed boolean entry type,
145 * they only have GetProfileInt(). In key files, only
146 * true and false (in lower case) are allowed.
148 * Note that in contrast to the
149 * [Desktop Entry Specification](http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec),
150 * groups in key files may contain the same
151 * key multiple times; the last entry wins. Key files may also contain
152 * multiple groups with the same name; they are merged together.
153 * Another difference is that keys and group names in key files are not
154 * restricted to ASCII characters.
156 * Here is an example of loading a key file and reading a value:
157 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
158 * g_autoptr(GError) error = NULL;
159 * g_autoptr(GKeyFile) key_file = g_key_file_new ();
161 * if (!g_key_file_load_from_file (key_file, "key-file.ini", flags, &error))
163 * if (!g_error_matches (error, G_FILE_ERROR, G_FILE_ERROR_NOENT))
164 * g_warning ("Error loading key file: %s", error->message);
165 * return;
168 * g_autofree gchar *val = g_key_file_get_string (key_file, "Group Name", "SomeKey", &error);
169 * if (val == NULL &&
170 * !g_error_matches (error, G_KEY_FILE_ERROR, G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_KEY_NOT_FOUND))
172 * g_warning ("Error finding key in key file: %s", error->message);
173 * return;
175 * else if (val == NULL)
177 * // Fall back to a default value.
178 * val = g_strdup ("default-value");
180 * ]|
182 * Here is an example of creating and saving a key file:
183 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
184 * g_autoptr(GKeyFile) key_file = g_key_file_new ();
185 * const gchar *val = …;
186 * g_autoptr(GError) error = NULL;
188 * g_key_file_set_string (key_file, "Group Name", "SomeKey", val);
190 * // Save as a file.
191 * if (!g_key_file_save_to_file (key_file, "key-file.ini", &error))
193 * g_warning ("Error saving key file: %s", error->message);
194 * return;
197 * // Or store to a GBytes for use elsewhere.
198 * gsize data_len;
199 * g_autofree guint8 *data = (guint8 *) g_key_file_to_data (key_file, &data_len, &error);
200 * if (data == NULL)
202 * g_warning ("Error saving key file: %s", error->message);
203 * return;
205 * g_autoptr(GBytes) bytes = g_bytes_new_take (g_steal_pointer (&data), data_len);
206 * ]|
210 * G_KEY_FILE_ERROR:
212 * Error domain for key file parsing. Errors in this domain will
213 * be from the #GKeyFileError enumeration.
215 * See #GError for information on error domains.
219 * GKeyFileError:
220 * @G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ENCODING: the text being parsed was in
221 * an unknown encoding
222 * @G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_PARSE: document was ill-formed
223 * @G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_NOT_FOUND: the file was not found
224 * @G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_KEY_NOT_FOUND: a requested key was not found
225 * @G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_GROUP_NOT_FOUND: a requested group was not found
226 * @G_KEY_FILE_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE: a value could not be parsed
228 * Error codes returned by key file parsing.
232 * GKeyFileFlags:
233 * @G_KEY_FILE_NONE: No flags, default behaviour
234 * @G_KEY_FILE_KEEP_COMMENTS: Use this flag if you plan to write the
235 * (possibly modified) contents of the key file back to a file;
236 * otherwise all comments will be lost when the key file is
237 * written back.
238 * @G_KEY_FILE_KEEP_TRANSLATIONS: Use this flag if you plan to write the
239 * (possibly modified) contents of the key file back to a file;
240 * otherwise only the translations for the current language will be
241 * written back.
243 * Flags which influence the parsing.
