# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file:
# * Provides a good explanation of the ini format - use this for docs *
# * INI's have 'sections' and 'properties'. Properties have key = value format *
#
# Case insensitivity: Add a case sensitive option
# Comments: Allow ; and # for comments. Must be on their own line
# Blank lines: Allow blank lines always
# Duplicate names: Duplicate property values overwrite previous values.
# Provide an option to abort/error is duplicate is found?
# Add option to merge duplicates separated by octal byte (\036 ??)
# Duplicate sections are merged. Option to error if dup.
# Escape chars: Handled by bash directly. Allow \ to continue a line.
# Global properties: Support. Add to a GLOBAL section?
# Hierarchy: No hierarchy support. Each section is own section.
# Name/value delim: Use = by default. Allow : via option?
# Quoted values: Allow values to be within " and ' to keep literal formatting.
# Whitespace: Whitespace around section labels and []s is removed.
# Whitespace within section labels is kept / translated.
# Whitespace around property names is removed.
# Whitespace within property names is kept as is (spaces squashed - option to override).
# Property values have whitespace between = and data removed.
# Property values are kept as is (no squashing)
# Ordering: GLOBAL section must be at the top, sections continue until next section or EOF.

# Specs:
# [section] Can be upper/lower/mixed case (set by options)
# Can only include: '-+_. [:alnum:]'
# Any single or consecutive occurance of '-+_. ' are converted to a *single* _
# eg: [foo -+_. bar] becomes [foo_bar] ??
# Any leading/trailing spaces/tabs between the []s and name will be removed.
# Notes:
# * To make env vars available to subsequent programs, use -x|--export.

Usage: ${0##*/} [options] <inifile>
Parse an ini file into environment variables which can be used natively in Bash.
Options:
-e <varname>, --envvar=<varname>
The prefix of the environment variables set by the parser.
The default is 'INI'.
-d <char(s)>, --envdelim=<char(s)>
The character(s) to use as a deliminator between the environment variable
and the section name. This is used when creating the environment
variables which hold options belonging to a particular section of the ini
file. Only letters, numbers and underscores (_) may be used. To use no
deliminator at all, use -d '' or --envdelim=''.
The default deliminator is a single underscore '_' ???
-i, --implied-boolean
Options usually require a parameter (after the =) in order to be set.
With this option, any option without a parameter contained in the ini file
if assumed to be a boolean 'true' and set accordingly. Likewise, any option
preceeded with 'no_' (eg: no_foo) will set the option 'foo' to boolean 'false'.
Cannot be used with --no-boolean.
-c, --case-sensitive
Be case sensitive with section names and properties.
Section names and property names will be used as is - no translation.
-g, --global-name <name>
INI files can contain an optional implied "global" section - where there
are property names/values before any [section] header. This option
specified what section name the implied "global" section should be given
in the environment variables which are set. The default is 'GLOBAL'.
-l, --lowercase
Usually, environment variables are converted to all uppercase before being set.
This option forces all environment variables to be converted to lowercase instead.
Note: This only effects the environment variable set with -e, and the section names
read from the ini file. Options are ??????????????????????????????????????
-x, --export
Export environment variables.
--no-boolean
Don't parse 'yes', 'true', 'on', 'no', 'false', 'off' into the corresponding boolean
values, and set the options strictly as is. Incompatible with -i.
--no-squash
Do not squash multiple consecutive occurances of punctuation characters
into a single _ when parsing section names and options. With this option
'foo.-_bar' would become 'foo___bar' rather than 'foo_bar'.
--no-duplicates
If a duplicate section name or option name is found, report error and stop.
Usually sections with the same name will have their options merged, and
duplicate option values will overwrite previous ones.
--test
Test/validate the ini file by running it through the parser. Testing the
ini file will report any problems or syntax errors in the file, but will
not set up the environment variables as would happen in normal parsing.
Any parse errors are reported to stderr. When combined with the --debug
option, every detail of the parsing process is reported to stderr.
--debug
Show full details of the ini file parsing process. Detail is written to
stderr. Unless --test is used with this option, the parser will still
set up the environment as would happen normally,
-h, --help
Show (this) help.
-v, --version
Show version and copyright information.
