NAME

       set_config_string  -  Writes  a string in the configuration file. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void set_config_string(const char *section, const char *name, const char *val);

DESCRIPTION

       Writes a string variable to the current config file, replacing any existing value  it  may
       have,  or  removes  the  variable if `val' is NULL. The section name may be set to NULL to
       write the variable to the root of the file, or used to control which section the  variable
       is  inserted  into. The altered file will be cached in memory, and not actually written to
       disk until you call allegro_exit(). Note that you can only write to files in this way,  so
       the  function  will  have  no  effect  if  the  current  config  source was specified with
       set_config_data() rather than set_config_file().

       As a special case, variable or section names that begin with a '#' character  are  treated
       specially and will not be read from or written to the disk. Addon packages can use this to
       store version info or other status information into the config module, from where  it  can
       be read with the get_config_string() function.
