Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
const char *get_config_string(const char *section, const char *name,
const char *def);
DESCRIPTION
Retrieves a string variable from the current config file. The section
name may be set to NULL to read variables from the root of the file, or
used to control which set of parameters (eg. sound or joystick) you are
interested in reading. Example:
const char *lang = get_config_string("system", "language", "EN");
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the constant string found in the configuration
file. If the named variable cannot be found, or its entry in the
config file is empty, the value of `def' is returned.
