3 // This module implements a configuration parser. Clients can query the
4 // contents of a configuration file through the interface provided here.
5 // The current implementation is read-only; mutations are only kept in
6 // memory. This parser supports the INI file format.
7 
8 // Implementation notes:
9 // - Key/value pairs that are not within a section are assumed to be under
10 //   the |CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECTION| section.
11 // - Multiple sections with the same name will be merged as if they were in
12 //   a single section.
13 // - Empty sections with no key/value pairs will be treated as if they do
14 //   not exist. In other words, |config_has_section| will return false for
15 //   empty sections.
16 // - Duplicate keys in a section will overwrite previous values.
