    src/xpdev/ini_file.c ini_file.h
    Log Message:
    Add iniSortSections() which can sort a read ini list and optionally keys

    This also exposed problems with the find_section() utility function: when the "found" section was actually empty and the next immediate line in the ini file was the beginning of a new section, the "keys" indexed would actually be the next section. Now fixed.

    iniSortSections() supports an optional section prefix

    Needed for echocfg option to sort linked nodes upon reading/writing sbbsecho.ini, for Ray Quinn (1:214/23).

    Replace deprecated inet_ntoa and inet_addr function calls

    Use inet_ntop and inet_pton instead.

    Use 32-bit arguments and return values for IPv4 addressess for all target platforms (ulong is 64-bit on LP64, e.g. Linux-x64, targets).

    Add iniGetIntInRange() for range-enforced integer values

    If you're going to use a read key value as say, an index into fixed-length array, then you better be sure it's within an expected range.

    Add functions for reading/getting/settings 64-bit ints/uints

    No immediate use, but I thought I had one. I didn't. Still, will probably need these one day.

    Log Message:
    Add iniGetClampedInt() to return an int key val clamped to a min/max range

    Very similar to iniGetIntInRange(), but the default value is only returned
    if the key or value is missing.

    Add iniAppendSectionWithNamedStrings()

    If you have list of named strings (named_string_t) and want to add them as
    a section of key/value pairs to a [section] in .ini formatted string list, this is the function you want to use. I'm not sure if this is exactly what Deuce had in mind (for use in SyncTERM), but it wasn't a lot of code to write and might be useful to someone someday.
