After including the use of glib we might as well replace inih
with the glib key file parser.
All configuraiton file parsing has been reworked and also the options
parsing has been cleaned up, resulting in better and stricter
configuration file and option value checks.
Compared to old, configuration files now requires any default
configurations to be put in a group/section named [default].
Configuration file keywords such as "enable", "disable", "on",
"off", "yes", "no", "0", "1" have been retired. Now only "true" and
"false" apply to boolean configuration options. This is done to simplify
things and avoid any confusion.
The pattern option feature has been reworked so now the user can now
access the full match string and any matching subexpression using the
%mN syntax.
For example:
[usb devices]
pattern = usb([0-9]*)
device = /dev/ttyUSB%m1
Then when using tio:
$ tio usb12
%m0 = 'usb12' // Full match string
%m1 = 12 // First match subexpression
Which results in device = /dev/ttyUSB12
So that the exclude options can also work as include using special
pattern syntax.
For example, to only include /dev/ttyUSB* devices simply do:
$ tio --exclude-devices=!(/dev/ttyUSB*) --list
See the man page of fnmatch() for all available extended pattern
options.
Collapses lua high(), low(), toggle(), config_high(), config_low(),
config_apply() into one simple function:
set{<line>=<state>, ...}
Line can be any of DTR, RTS, CTS, DSR, CD, RI.
State is high, low, or toggle.
Example:
script = set{DTR=high, RTS=low}; msleep(100); set{DTR=low, RTS=high}; msleep(100); set{RTS=low}
Notice the use of {} instad of () when calling the set function. This is
required to pass parameters by name in lua.
