! 4: libConfuse supports functions to parse options that does not fit
! 5: well in the general syntax. Functions can be called with a variable
! 6: number of arguments. No data from the function or any arguments are
! 7: stored by libConfuse after the function has run. It is up to the caller
! 8: to process and/or save the data.
! 9: </p><p>
! 10: A function is defined with a <code class="function">CFG_FUNC</code> macro.
! 11: It takes two arguments: the name of the function and a function
! 12: callback. The callback is defined as:
! 13: </p><pre class="programlisting">
! 14: typedef int (*cfg_func_t)(cfg_t *cfg, cfg_opt_t *opt,
! 15: int argc, const char **argv);
! 16: </pre><p>

! 18: Currently there is only one pre-defined function:
! 19: <code class="function">cfg_include()</code>. This function includes
! 20: another configuration file. Configuration data is immediately
! 21: read from the included file, and is returned to the position
! 22: right after the include() statement upon end of file.
! 23: </p><p>
! 24: To use this function, include a <code class="function">CFG_FUNC()</code>
! 25: entry in your options:
! 26: </p><pre class="programlisting">
! 27: cfg_opt_t opts[] = {
! 28: CFG_FUNC("include", cfg_include),
! 29: CFG_END()
! 30: };
! 31: </pre><p>
! 32: In the configuration file, it is used in the following way:
! 33: </p><pre class="programlisting">
! 34: include("included.conf")
! 35: </pre></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ar01s07.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ar01s09.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">7. Value parsing callback </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 9. Saving configuration files</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
