=head1 NAME
inifilter - filter an C<.ini> file by making substitutions and deletions
to keys and entries
=head1 SYNOPSYS
B<inifilter> [B<-f> I<inifile>] [B<-V>] I<filter-file> B<-e> B<-p>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<inifilter> is used to modify an ini file (or an ini file
patch) by applying to it the substitutions and deletions specified
in one or more I<filter file>s.
Such filtering is useful when one needs to do common transformations
(such as changing where the windows system directory is, I<etc.>)
to a number of ini files.
It is also useful for filtering out common ignorable changes
from an ini diff, so only important changes remain.
=head1 Filter File Format
B<Terminology NOTE>: The following naming convention is used here:
[key pattern]
entry line : name=value
This corresponds to the INI File Format described in the other tools:
[key] field=value
Whereas in other documentation of INI files the naming convention is:
[section] key=value
The filter files that control what B<inifilter> does
consist of a number of ini key patterns (enclosed in brackets).
Each key pattern contains lines indicating which entries in matching
keys are to be modified (entries can be matched based on their name or
their value).
Finally, actions can be specified for each matching entry: an entry's
name or value can be changed or it may be deleted entirely.
Key patterns and entry name or value patterns are specified as case
insensitive B<perl> regular expressions, while name and value changes are
specified B<perl> substitution commands.
Comments are indicated by lines beginning with a # or ; character (a # in
the middle of a line does not introduce a comment).
The following example demonstrates the syntax of filter files:
# Read contents of another filter file:
include "anotherFile"
# Check for matching entries in keys starting with 'option'
[option.*]
# Change C:\PROGRA~1\ to F:\Program files\ in matching value entries
value .*C:\\\\PROGRA~1\\\\.*
subst value s/C:\\\\PROGRA~1\\\\/F:\\\\Program Files\\\\/gi
# Do the same for entry names
name .*C:\\\\PROGRA~1\\\\.*
subst name s/C:\\\\PROGRA~1\\\\/F:\\\\Program Files\\\\/gi
# Delete any entries under the Explorer key, and delete the key section
# (- at end of line means delete any keys matching the pattern)
[Explorer]-
# Delete a particular entry by name
[UuidPersistentData]
name LastTimeAllocated
delete
# Change both the name and value of some key
[foo]
name something
subst name s/X/Y/gi
subst value s/A/B/gi
Some things to note about these files: you need lots of backslashes
in windows path key names (since backslash is used as a path separator,
and since it is special to perl).
The key, name and value patterns are always anchored, so don't
forget to put an explicit C<.*> in front of or after patterns where you want
a substring match.
The C<include> command is used to read filter commands from another file.
The file is first looked for relative to the same directory as the file
that included it, then in the process's current directory.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-f> I<inifile>
Read the specified ini file instead of from standard input.
=item B<-V>
Prints the version number - the program then exits immediately.
=item B<-e>
Exports the filter results to a text format (debug purposes)
=item B<-p>
Preserves the order of Ordered Field names (such as mod_1, mod_2, etc.)
