This utility provides a basic shell interface to the Simple INI Reader library. It is written in the style of a Unix command (can be used with pipes and redirection, features a minimal set of options, etc.), but only uses C Standard Library functions, so it should be portable.
Input is given either in the form of a filename argument or as Standard Input if no filename is specified. The program uses the first argument it finds that doesn't look like an option as the filename. Any other filenames specified are ignored.
The -k key_name option finds the first key named key_name and prints it
to Standard Output. If the -k option is not given, all values are printed.
The -s section_name option tells the program that you only want to look at
keys in section_name.
The --list-sections option prints the name of each section. Note that no name
is printed for the INI's global section.
The --list-keys option prints each key name (as opposed to the key values
printed by -k). Note that this may be combined with the -s option to get
the key names from a specific section.
Simply compile sir_util.c with a C compiler. For example:
gcc -o sir sir_util.c
