dot.conf is a simple configuration-file parser library written in C. The configuration files created for dot.conf look very similar to those used by the Apache Webserver. Even Container-Directives known from httpd.conf can easily be used in the exact same manner as for Apache-Modules. It supports various types of arguments, dynamically loadable modules that create their own configuration options on-the-fly, a here-documents feature to pass very long ARG_STR data to your app, ${NAME:-default} style environment variable substitution for arguments, and on-the-fly inclusion of additional config files. Some behaviour can be toggled with flags at runtime. To keep dotconf from printing out warnings, you can install your own customized error handler. WWW: http://www.azzit.de/dotconf/
