dot.conf is a simple configuration-file parser library written in C. The configuration files created for dot.conf look very similar to those used by the Apache Webserver. Even Container-Directives known from httpd.conf can easily be used in the exact same manner as for Apache-Modules. It supports various types of arguments, dynamically loadable modules that create their own configuration options on-the-fly, a here-documents feature to pass very long ARG_STR data to your app, ${NAME:-default} style environment variable substitution for arguments, and on-the-fly inclusion of additional config files. Some behaviour can be toggled with flags at runtime. To keep dotconf from printing out warnings, you can install your own customized errorhandler.
