navvdf
This is a personal C library whose purpose is to read, load and write basic VDF (Valve Data Format) files. It doesn't support anything other than the basic nodes and subnodes.
As it is a library aimed at reading and writing
VDF files, its aim is not efficiency or speed. It tries to
make the creation of trees easy by treating nodes like
files and folders, so you vdf_touch() to
create "files" (key-value pairs) and you
vdf_mkdir() to create folders. You also
navigate between directories with vdf_nav().
As this is a personal library, everything is WIP and no support is given.
Limitations
- The separator between folders can't be used in the name
of folders and files. By default it is
/but it can be changed to another character. - The name for the "here" and "back" folders are hardcoded
to
.and...
Concepts
There are 3 objects:
- Trees. This is where a VDF tree is stored. You can create them by hand or load them from a file.
- Positions. One could think of a Pos like a shell/editor whose filesystem is a Tree. There can be multiple ones per Tree.
- Entries. Files or folders. You should never work with them directly, but let the library handle them.
