Description

TIniFile stores and retrieves application-specific information and settings from INI files.

TIniFile enables handling the storage and retrieval of application-specific information and settings in a standard INI file. An INI file stores information in logical groupings, called "sections". Within each section, actual data values are stored in named keys. Keys take the form:

<keyname> = <value>

A FileName is passed to the TIniFile constructor and identifies the INI file that the object accesses.

Note: On Windows, a related object, TMemIniFile, works the same way as TIniFile, but the buffer writes in memory to minimize disk access.
