Defaults_Text.h

Go to the documentation of this file.

//
//
// File: hitfit/Defaults_Text.h
// Purpose: A lightweight implementation of the Defaults interface
//          that uses simple text files.
// Created: Jul, 2000, sss.
//
// Create instances of these objects passing in the name of a file.
// Each line of the file should contain a parameter setting like
//
//   NAME = VALUE
//
// Anything following a `;' or `#' is stried off; leading and trailing
// spaces on VALUE are also removed.  Blank lines are ignored.
//
// You can also pass an argument list to the constructor.  After the
// defaults file is read, the argument list will be scanned, to possibly
// override some of the parameter settings.  An argument of the form
//
//   --NAME=VALUE
//
// is equivalent to the parameter setting
//
//     NAME=VALUE
//
// while
//
//   --NAME
//
// is equivalent to
//
//   NAME=1
//
// and
//
//   --noNAME
//
// is equivalent to
//
//   NAME=0
