The Ini file manager consists of a package, Config, which can read or write informations from various configuration files known as "ini" files because they have often the ".ini" extension. They are text files which look like the following: ; Comment line [Section 1] a_string = abcd # a comment here... a_number = +123.456 ; another comment [Section 2] a_string = efgh For more examples in this format, just search files with the .ini extension on a Windows-based computer.
