Detailed Description

Implementation of an initialization section (ini section for short).

Objects of this class are intended to be constructed by ini files rather than directly by the application.

Refer to MCIniFile for further information.

This class is intentionally not thread safe for performance reasons. To be thread safe, lock a mutex before accessing its member functions.

Member Function Documentation

const MCString& get (  const MCString &  key  )  const

Get a value for given a key. If the key does not exist in the ini section then an exception is thrown.

MCString& operator[] (  const MCString &  key  )

Get a reference to the current value for a key. If the key does not already exist in the ini section it will be created and a reference to the new (empty) value will be returned. This allows array-like access to the ini section to both get and set values.

void set (  const MCString &  key, const MCString &  value )

Set a key/value pair in the ini section. If key already exists in the ini section its current value (if any) is discarded and replaced with the new value.
