Functions

inih.parse

inih.parse(filename : string, callback : function) : true / nil, error_message

Parse .INI file in filename, calling callback function for each 'name = value' pair.

Default section name is "" (empty string).

Callback signature:

callback(
    section : string,
    name : string,
    value : string
  ) : true / nil, error_message

Example:

local inih = require 'inih'

local data = { }

assert(inih.parse('myfile.ini', function(section, name, value)
  data[section] = data[section] or { }
  data[section][name] = value

  return true -- continue parsing
end))
