## The `parsecfg` module implements a high performance configuration file
## parser. The configuration file's syntax is similar to the Windows `.ini`
## format, but much more powerful, as it is not a line based parser. String
## literals, raw string literals and triple quoted string literals are supported
## as in the Nim programming language.
##
## Example of how a configuration file may look like:
##
## .. include:: ../../doc/mytest.cfg
##     :literal:
##
## Here is an example of how to use the configuration file parser:
##
## .. code-block:: nim
##
##    import os, parsecfg, strutils, streams
##
##    var f = newFileStream(paramStr(1), fmRead)
##    if f != nil:
##      var p: CfgParser
##      open(p, f, paramStr(1))
##      while true:
##        var e = next(p)
##        case e.kind
##        of cfgEof: break
##        of cfgSectionStart:   ## a `[section]` has been parsed
##          echo("new section: " & e.section)
##        of cfgKeyValuePair:
##          echo("key-value-pair: " & e.key & ": " & e.value)
##        of cfgOption:
##          echo("command: " & e.key & ": " & e.value)
##        of cfgError:
##          echo(e.msg)
##      close(p)
##    else:
##      echo("cannot open: " & paramStr(1))
##
##
## Examples

##
## Configuration file example
## --------------------------
##
## .. code-block:: nim
##
##     charset = "utf-8"
##     [Package]
##     name = "hello"
##     --threads:on
##     [Author]
##     name = "lihf8515"
##     qq = "10214028"
##     email = "lihaifeng@wxm.com"
##
## Creating a configuration file
## -----------------------------
## .. code-block:: nim
##
##     import parsecfg
##     var dict=newConfig()
##     dict.setSectionKey("","charset","utf-8")
##     dict.setSectionKey("Package","name","hello")
##     dict.setSectionKey("Package","--threads","on")
##     dict.setSectionKey("Author","name","lihf8515")
##     dict.setSectionKey("Author","qq","10214028")
##     dict.setSectionKey("Author","email","lihaifeng@wxm.com")
##     dict.writeConfig("config.ini")
##
## Reading a configuration file
## ----------------------------
## .. code-block:: nim
##
##     import parsecfg
##     var dict = loadConfig("config.ini")
##     var charset = dict.getSectionValue("","charset")
##     var threads = dict.getSectionValue("Package","--threads")
##     var pname = dict.getSectionValue("Package","name")
##     var name = dict.getSectionValue("Author","name")
##     var qq = dict.getSectionValue("Author","qq")
##     var email = dict.getSectionValue("Author","email")
##     echo pname & "\n" & name & "\n" & qq & "\n" & email
##
## Modifying a configuration file
## ------------------------------
## .. code-block:: nim
##
##     import parsecfg
##     var dict = loadConfig("config.ini")
##     dict.setSectionKey("Author","name","lhf")
##     dict.writeConfig("config.ini")
##
## Deleting a section key in a configuration file
## ----------------------------------------------
## .. code-block:: nim
##
##     import parsecfg
##     var dict = loadConfig("config.ini")
##     dict.delSectionKey("Author","email")
##     dict.writeConfig("config.ini")
## 
## Supported INI File structure
## ----------------------------
## The examples below are supported:
