NAME

6       set_config_string  - Writes a string in the configuration file. Allegro
7       game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <allegro.h>
11
12
13       void set_config_string(const char *section,  const  char  *name,  const
14       char *val);
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Writes  a  string  variable  to  the current config file, replacing any
18       existing value it may have, or removes the variable if `val'  is  NULL.
19       The  section  name may be set to NULL to write the variable to the root
20       of the file, or used to control which section the variable is  inserted
21       into. The altered file will be cached in memory, and not actually writ‐
22       ten to disk until you call allegro_exit(). Note that you can only write
23       to  files  in this way, so the function will have no effect if the cur‐
24       rent config source was specified  with  set_config_data()  rather  than
25       set_config_file().
26
27       As  a  special  case,  variable  or section names that begin with a '#'
28       character are treated specially and will not be read from or written to
29       the  disk.  Addon  packages can use this to store version info or other
30       status information into the config module, from where it  can  be  read
31       with the get_config_string() function.
