NAME
       firestring_conf_parse - read and parse a configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <firestring.h>
       -lfirestring

       struct firestring_conf_t *firestring_conf_parse(const char *filename)

DESCRIPTION
       firestring_conf_parse() attempts to read a configuration from filename and parse the results into a structure that it then returns.

       The support configuration format is fairly flexible:
	      # Configuration file example
	      # These are comments
	      variable_name = value
	      variable_name2=value
	      variable_name3="quoted value"
	      variable_name4="array value 1"
	      variable_name4="array value 2"

       include	as  a  variable  name  is  special; it causes firestring to parse the file referenced by the value, overriding any previous values
       (although they are still accessible as arrays).

RETURN VALUE
       Returns a pointer to a structure containing the data read from the config file, or NULL if the file cannot be opened.
