zini

A Zsh INI file reader.

I created this Zsh function as part of my Quick Site Generator 2 script to read the config file.

Example INI file

; This is a comment
[section]
name = value

[other_section]
name = value

Usage

Place the file zini in your fpath and use Zsh's autoload to load the function.

#!/usr/bin/zsh

# You can also add your own paths to fpath
# and place zini there.
fpath=(${HOME}/zsh-functions $fpath)
autoload zini
zini /path/to/your/ini-file

Then you can fetch the values like this

${config[section_name]}
${config[other_section_name]}
