Welcome to INI Editor
Ini files are plain ASCII files. Windows provide special support for them through
the 32-bit API. We only support 32-bit API functions because Hackman is a pure
32-bit program. An INI file consists of two parts, the sections and the keys
that may have values. Here's an example of an INI file:
| [Colors] |
This is a section |
| border= |
A key without value |
| ink=yellow |
A key with string value (yellow) |
| [Advanced_Settings] |
Another section |
| splash=1 |
A key with numeric value (1) |
