Normal-Mode:

inisg load -f {file} (--force)

inisg save (-f {file}) (--keep)

inisg set (-s {section}) -k {key} -v {value}

inisg get (-s {section}) -k {key} (-v {default value}) (-f {file}) (--delete) (--trunc)

inisg del (-s {section} &// -k {key})

inisg new (-f {file}) (--force)

inisg clear (--force)

Inside-Mode:

inisg inside set -f {file} (-s {section}) -k {key} -v {value}

inisg inside get -f {file} (-s {section}) -k {key} (-v {default value}) (--out (-f {output file}) (--trunc))

inisg inside del -f {file} (-s {section} &// -k {key})

inisg inside new -f {file} (--from -f {from file})

How does it Work?

Flags

-f {file}

-f means there is a filepath in the next argument.

-s {section}

Sets the section. Can be ignored, if you want to select the global(or empty) section (aka section="").

-k {key}

Sets the key which referes to the value.

-v {value}

Can be used to set a key to this value or to return it if the get didn't work or the get-key is empty.

Normal-Mode

load

inisg load -f {file} (--force)

It loads all the sections in there own directories in the .inisg/ folder and creates a file("[key].val") for every key in the section, then it writes the value of key in the key file. Saves the ini-filename in the .inisg.season.info file.

--force

Normaly when the inisg directory exists it means that there is something not saved. With --force you can override the existing structures and load a new ini file.

save

inisg save (-f {file}) (--keep)

Loads every section directory with all its key-files in and outputs them in a file of the provided ini-filepath. If the -f flag isn't set, it takes the filepath from the .inisg.season.info file.

It also deletes the ./.inisg/ directory.

--keep

Activates the keep functionality. Doesn't delete the ./.inisg/ folder.

set

inisg set (-s {section}) -k {key} -v {value}

Sets the value of the key in the section. If the value should become empty use -v -.

get

inisg get (-s {section}) -k {key} (-v {default value}) (-f {file}) (--delete) (--trunc)

Outputs the the value of key in section, but if the value is empty it outputs the default value. Also output it to a file if -f is set.

--delete

With --delete it deletes the [key].val file after the output.

--trunc

If --trunc is set it clears the output file before writing to it. Doesn't throw an error if -f flag isn't set. Just ignores it.

new

inisg del (-s {section} &// -k {key})

Creates a new setup for inisg and writes the filepath to the .inisg.season.info if -f is set.

--force

Overrides the .inisg/ directory if it is existing and doesn't throw an error.

clear

inisg new (-f {file}) (--force)

Deletes the .inisg/ directory if it is empty.

--force

Delets the directory also when there is something in it.

Inside-Mode

Changes the values directly inside the ini file

set

inisg inside set -f {file} (-s {section}) -k {key} -v {value}

Loads the ini-file (internally), changes the value of the key and saves the ini-file

get

inisg inside get -f {file} (-s {section}) -k {key} (-v {default value}) (--out (-f {output file}) (--trunc))

Loads the ini-file (internally), ouputs the value (or default value)

--out

changes -f from input file to output file. Means every -f after --out is interpreted not as [file] but as [output file]

--trunc

If --trunc is set it clears the output file before writing to it. Doesn't throw an error if -f flag isn't set. Just ignores it.

del

inisg inside del -f {file} (-s {section} &// -k {key})

Loads the ini-file (internally), deletes the section or key, saves the ini-file

&//

One or both. (and or or)

new

inisg inside new -f {file} (--from -f {from file})

creates a new ini-file at file.

--from

changes -f from output file to copy file. Means every -f after --out is interpreted not as [file] but as [from file] -f : all contents get loaded and saved to the new file.
