int parameters_close_section(struct parameters * params)

Close the section.

const char * parameters_get_string(struct parameters * params, const char * key, const char * def)

Get the parameter value as a string.

bool parameters_get_boolean(struct parameters * params, const char * key, bool def)

Get the parameter value as a boolean.

int parameters_get_integer(struct parameters * params, const char * key, int def)

Get the parameter value as an integer.

bool parameters_set_string(struct parameters * params, const char * key, const char * value)
