Helper class to handle INI-style files.
</brief_description>
<description>
- This helper class can be used to store [Variant] values on the filesystem using an INI-style formatting. The stored values as referenced by a section and a key. The stored data can be saved to or parsed from a file, though ConfigFile objects can also be used directly with accessing the filesystem.
- The following example shows how to parse a INI-style file from the system, read its contents and store new values in it:
+ This helper class can be used to store [Variant] values on the filesystem using INI-style formatting. The stored values are indentified by a section and a key:
