EditorConfig makes it easy to maintain the correct coding style when switchingbetween different text editors and between different projects. TheEditorConfig project maintains a file format and plugins for various texteditors which allow this file format to be read and used by those editors. Forinformation on the file format and supported text editors, see theEditorConfig website.

This is the README file for theEditorConfig C Core codebase. This codeproduces a program that accepts a filename as input and will look for.editorconfig files with sections applicable to the given file, outputtingany properties found.

When developing an editor plugin for reading EditorConfig files, theEditorConfig core code can be used to locate and parse these files. This meansthe file locator, INI parser, and file globbing mechanisms can all bemaintained in one code base, resulting in less code repetition between plugins.

See theINSTALL.md file for instructions.

For help with the EditorConfig C Core code, please write to ourmailing list. Bugs and feature requests should be submitted to ourissue tracker. If you find any security bugs, please report them at thesecurity page.

If you are writing a plugin a language that can import C libraries, you maywant to import and use the EditorConfig library directly. If you do use theEditorConfig core as a C library, check thedocumentation for latest stableversion for help. The documentation for latest development version is alsoavailableonline.
