SYNOPSIS

This file contains the following:

  • package App::IniDiff::IniFile;

  • package App::IniDiff::IniFile::Field;

  • package App::IniDiff::IniFile::Key;

  • package App::IniDiff::IniFile::Filter;

Creates the following data structure:

    {
        'nextOrderId' => some-number,
        'keys' => {
          {
            'name' => "...",
            'orderId' => some number,
            'fields' => [
                {
                    'name' => "..."
                    'value' => "...",
                    'deleted' => 0 or 1,
                    'annotation' => "...",
                },
                ...
                ],
            'deleted' => 0 or 1,
            'annotation' => "...",
            },
            ...
        },
    }

  • 'orderId' is used to preserve the order in which keys appear in a file.

  • 'annotation' is used to decorate inidiff output.

  • 'deleted' is used when generating, writing, reading, and applying patch files.

  • 'key' is INI 'section'

  • 'field' is INI 'entry'

  • 'field value' is INI 'value'
