INI Parser Tiny C INI parsing library supporting sections, keys, values, and escape sequences. All in under 300 lines. Supports single-level sections. Whitespace is ignored in section names. Supports keys. Whitespace is ignored in key names. Supports values. What you see is what you get. The escape sequences \n, \r, \a, \b, \t, \f, \e, and \\ are supported in values. Sections and keys are case insensitive. Strings are the only supported type. Use sscanf or itoa to convert strings into integers.
