Usage:

crudini --set [OPTION]...   config_file section   [param] [value]crudini --get [OPTION]...   config_file [section] [param]crudini --del [OPTION]...   config_file section   [param] [list value]crudini --merge [OPTION]... config_file [section]SECTION can be empty ("") or "DEFAULT" in which case,params not in a section, i.e. global parameters are operated on.If 'DEFAULT' is used with --set, an explicit [DEFAULT] section is added.Multiple --set|--del|--get operations for a config_file can be specified.

Options:

  --existing[=WHAT]  For --set, --del and --merge, fail if item is missing,                       where WHAT is 'file', 'section', or 'param',                       or if WHAT not specified; all specified items.  --format=FMT       For --get, select the output FMT.                       Formats are 'sh','ini','lines'  --ini-options=OPT  Set options for handling ini files.  Options are:                       'nospace': use format name=value not name = value                       'space': ensure name = value format                       'sectionspace': ensure one blank line between sections                       'ignoreindent': ignore leading whitespace  --inplace          Lock and write files in place.                       This is not atomic but has less restrictions                       than the default replacement method.  --list             For --set and --del, update a list (set) of values  --list-sep=STR     Delimit list values with "STR" instead of " ,".                       An empty STR means any whitespace is a delimiter.  --output=FILE      Write output to FILE instead. '-' means stdout  --verbose          Indicate on stderr if changes were made  --help             Write this help to stdout  --version          Write version to stdout
