## Detailed Description

Configuration file.

This class provide handle access to configuration file.

# Synopsis

PIConfig reads configuration file and create internal dendritic representation of all entries of this file. You can easily read some values and write new.

PIConfig supports also INI-style files with sections "[section]". In this case line with section name interpret as prefix to the next lines. For example, these configs are equal:

ser.device = /dev/ttyS0
ser.speed = 115200
debug = true
[ser]
device = /dev/ttyS0
speed = 115200
[]
debug = true

# Concepts

Each node of internal tree has type PIConfig::Entry. PIConfig has one root element rootEntry(). Any entry of configuration file is a child of this element.
