Writing / Overwriting

To write a key and value entry to the Packer file, simply use the write($key, $value) method like this:

$packer->write('autorun', false);

Reading

To fetch a value from a Packer file, use the read($key) method.

$autorun = $packer->read('autorun');

Deleting

To delete a value from the Packer file:

$packer->delete('autorun');
// $packer->exist('autorun') === false

Fetch all keys

To iterate through the Packer file, you can fetch the keys using the keys() method:

echo '<ul>';
foreach($packer->keys() as $key){
    echo '<li>' . $packer->read($key) . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
