Linux配置文件解析库libconfig

1.libconfig官网下载路径
https://hyperrealm.github.io/libconfig/
2.安装libconfig
安装过程：解压，配置，编译，安装
//解压安装包
tar -zxvf libconfig-1.7.2.tar.gz
//安装前的引导配置，默认安装到/usr/local，可以通过./configure --prefix=PREFIX进行修改，也可以修改脚本参数ac_default_prefix的值
cd libconfig-1.7.2;
./configure
//编译源码
make
//安装前的检查
make check
//安装
make install

复制库到/usr/lib
cp /usr/local/lib/libconfig* /usr/lib

3.简单测试

1. 配置文件用例example.cfg，内容如下：
   // An example configuration file that stores information about a store.

// Basic store information:
name = “Books, Movies & More”;

// Store inventory:
inventory =
{
books = ( { title = “Treasure Island”;
author = “Robert Louis Stevenson”;
price = 29.99;
qty = 5; },
{ title = “Snow Crash”;
author = “Neal Stephenson”;
price = 9.99;
qty = 8; }
);

movies = ( { title = “Brazil”;
media = “DVD”;
price = 19.99;
qty = 11; },
{ title = “The City of Lost Children”;
media = “DVD”;
price = 18.99;
qty = 5; },
{ title = “Memento”;
media = “Blu-Ray”;
price = 24.99;
qty = 20;
},
{ title = “Howard the Duck”; }
);
};

// Store hours:
hours =
{
mon = { open = 9; close = 18; };
tue = { open = 9; close = 18; };
wed = { open = 9; close = 18; };
thu = { open = 9; close = 18; };
fri = { open = 9; close = 20; };
sat = { open = 9; close = 20; };
sun = { open = 11; close = 16; };
};

2. 源文件example1.c，内容如下：

#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_destroy(&cfg);
return(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

/* Get the store name. 读取配置文件中的“Basic store information:”信息 */
if(config_lookup_string(&cfg, “name”, &str))
printf(“Store name: %s\n\n”, str);
else
fprintf(stderr, “No ‘name’ setting in configuration file.\n”);

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);
}
