C/C++ 读取配置（config）文件 开源库（libconfig）

1.官网：https://hyperrealm.github.io/libconfig/

2.github：https://github.com/hyperrealm/libconfig

3.安装：

cd到解压文件目录，依次运行如下命令

• ./configure
• make                 （运行完生成 .so 和 .a）
• make check
• make install       （将 .so 和 .a库  安装到/usr/local/lib 路径下）
• make clean

4.编译例程

• cd到 examples 目录 ，继续进入 C或者 C++目录
• 这里以C文件为例进行编译 ：   gcc  example1.c   -o example1  -lconfig    （生成 example1 可执行文件 ）

     （关于-l静态链接和动态链接问题参考：https://blog.csdn.net/abcdu1/article/details/86083295）

• 运行程序：./example1     （运行程序读取当前路径下的“example.cfg”文件）

5.例程源码：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <libconfig.h>

/* This example reads the configuration file 'example.cfg' and displays
 * some of its contents.
 */

  {
    fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d - %s\n", config_error_file(&cfg),
            config_error_line(&cfg), config_error_text(&cfg));
    config_destroy(&cfg);
    return(EXIT_FAILURE);
  }

  /* Get the store name. */
  if(config_lookup_string(&cfg, "name", &str))
    printf("Store name: %s\n\n", str);
  else
    fprintf(stderr, "No 'name' setting in configuration file.\n");

  /* Output a list of all books in the inventory. */
  setting = config_lookup(&cfg, "inventory.books");
  if(setting != NULL)
  {
    int count = config_setting_length(setting);
    int i;

    printf("%-30s  %-30s   %-6s  %s\n", "TITLE", "AUTHOR", "PRICE", "QTY");

    for(i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
      config_setting_t *book = config_setting_get_elem(setting, i);

      /* Only output the record if all of the expected fields are present. */
      const char *title, *author;
      double price;
      int qty;

      if(!(config_setting_lookup_string(book, "title", &title)
           && config_setting_lookup_string(book, "author", &author)
           && config_setting_lookup_float(book, "price", &price)
           && config_setting_lookup_int(book, "qty", &qty)))
        continue;

      printf("%-30s  %-30s  $%6.2f  %3d\n", title, author, price, qty);
    }
    putchar('\n');
  }

  /* Output a list of all movies in the inventory. */
  setting = config_lookup(&cfg, "inventory.movies");
  if(setting != NULL)
  {
    unsigned int count = config_setting_length(setting);
    unsigned int i;

    printf("%-30s  %-10s   %-6s  %s\n", "TITLE", "MEDIA", "PRICE", "QTY");
    for(i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
      config_setting_t *movie = config_setting_get_elem(setting, i);

      /* Only output the record if all of the expected fields are present. */
      const char *title, *media;
      double price;
      int qty;

      if(!(config_setting_lookup_string(movie, "title", &title)
           && config_setting_lookup_string(movie, "media", &media)
           && config_setting_lookup_float(movie, "price", &price)
           && config_setting_lookup_int(movie, "qty", &qty)))
        continue;

      printf("%-30s  %-10s  $%6.2f  %3d\n", title, media, price, qty);
    }
    putchar('\n');
  }

  config_destroy(&cfg);
  return(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
