Welcome to ConfigFile
ConfigFile is a configuration file parser and writer library for Haskell.
The ConfigFile module works with configuration files in a standard format that is easy for the user to edit, easy for the programmer to work with, yet remains powerful and flexible. It is inspired by, and compatible with, Python's ConfigParser module. It uses files that resemble Windows .INI-style files, but with numerous improvements.
ConfigFile provides simple calls to both read and write config files. It's possible to make a config file parsable by this module, the Unix shell, and make.

Contributing to ConfigFile
You can always download the source from the Downloads page and attach diffs. But it's far better, both for you and for me, if you use Git.
Please see our 5-Minute Git Guide. You can check out the ConfigFile repository with:
git clone git://git.complete.org/configfile
