/** @mainpage The INI configuration interface
 *
 * The goal of the this interface is to allow applications
 * to read configuration from an INI file.
 *
 * So why yet another library to read data from an INI file?
 * As we started the SSSD project we looked around for a
 * open source library that would meet the following
 * requirements:
 * - Is written in C (not C++)
 * - Is lightweight.
 * - Has an live community.
 * - Supported on multiple platforms .
 * - Can evolve as we build SSSD solution.
 * - Can deal with different types of values including arrays.
 * - Can deal with sections that are related to each other
 *   and can form a hierarchy of sections.
 * - Has a compatible license we can use.
 *
 * We have seen several solutions but none was able to fully address
 * our requirements. As a result we started developing our own
 * INI parsing library.
 *
 * Currently INI parser allows reading and merging INI files
 * and getting a resulting configuration in one object.
 *
 * One of the main advantages of this interface is that
 * the library is created with the idea of reading the configuration
 * data, not managing it. Thus currently you will not find
 * any function that alters the configuration data read from the files.
 * There is a set of proposed enhancements to be able to manipulate
 * the configuration data and save it back but there has been no real
 * driver for it. This API is focused on letting applications read data
 * from a file (or files) and interpret it, not to generate configuration
 * files. There are all sorts of different tools that already do that.
 *
 * The INI configuration interface uses COLLECTION (see libcollection
 * interface) to store data internally.
 *
 * Concepts:
 * - INI file consists of the key value pairs.
 * - Keys and values are separated by the equal sign.
 *   Spaces around equal sign are trimmed. Everything before the equal
 *   sign is the key, everything after is the value.
 * - Comments are the lines that start with ";" or "#" in the first
 *   position of the line.
 * - Library now supports multi-line values. Values that span across multiple
 *   lines should start with a single space on every new line.
 * - After being read both keys and values are stored in the internal
 *   objects.
 * - Application configuration can consist from multiple files.
 *   For example, there can be a generic file in /etc containing
 *   configuration for all applications of a particular class running
 *   on a box and then there might be a special file
 *   with parameters specific for each application in the
 *   /etc/whatever.d directory. Interface does not allow reading
 *   multiple files in one call. Instead files need to be read separately
 *   and then merged together. A helper function to do so might be added
 *   later.
 * - If there is no section in the file or there are key value pairs
 *   declared before the first section, those pairs will be placed into
 *   the default section with the name "default".
 * - All values are treated as strings. Spaces are trimmed at the beginning
 *   and the end of the value. The value ends at the end of the line.
 *   If values is too long, an error will be returned.
 * - Parsing of a value happens when a caller tries to interpret
 *   the value. The caller can use different functions to do this.
 *   The value can be treated as numeric, logical, string, binary,
 *   array of strings or array of numbers. In case of arrays parsing functions
 *   accept separators that will be used to slice the value into the array
 *   of elements.
 * - If there is any error parsing section and key values it can be
 *   intercepted by the caller. There are different modes that the library
 *   supports regarding error handling. See details in the description
 *   of individual functions.
 * - The library allows ini files with fragmented sections. This means that
 *   a section can be scattered across the file. Flags control what to
 *   do in such situation.
 * - The library allows storing and retrieving multiple key value pairs with
 *   the same key in one section.
 *
 *   <i>There is a deprecated interface that can be found in ini_config.h.
 *   This interface is supported only for backwards compatibility and should
 *   not be used.</i>
