One other thing I'll mention is that it was really important to me that it was very easy to look up values from the config file. So for me it was a lot more than just the parser. So I can fetch a read a config parameter from the config file like this: profile_get_boolean(ctx->profile, "options", "no_optimize_extents", 0, 0, &c); That's because I use this for a lot more than just file system tuning parametres, but also for changing how e2fsck / mke2fs behaves. So trying to parse all of the config file at startup time and having to stash that in some global context structure is just lot of extra work that isn't necessary with the profile library compared with other libraries which are focused exclusively on the parsing aspect of things (which is actually pretty trivial). Maybe this doesn't matter for XFS, but other file system utilities may find this issue to be something worthy of consideration when trying to pick a config file library. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
