This is a ESP-IDF component warpped version of inih, which can be directly used in ESP-IDF projects.
inih (INI Not Invented Here) is a simple .INI file parser written in C. It's only a couple of pages of code, and it was designed to be small and simple, so it's good for embedded systems. It's also more or less compatible with Python's ConfigParser style of .INI files, including RFC 822-style multi-line syntax and name: value entries.
To use it, just give ini_parse() an INI file, and it will call a callback for every name=value pair parsed, giving you strings for the section, name, and value. It's done this way ("SAX style") because it works well on low-memory embedded systems, but also because it makes for a KISS implementation.
You can also call ini_parse_file() to parse directly from a FILE* object, ini_parse_string() to parse data from a string, or ini_parse_stream() to parse using a custom fgets-style reader function for custom I/O.
You can using idf.py menuconfig to configure all the compile-time options. the options are is decribed in compile-time-options
