NAME

inifilter - filter a dos/windows .ini file by making substitutions and deletions to keys and entries


SYNOPSYS

inifilter [-f inifile] [-V] filter-file ...


DESCRIPTION

inifilter is used to modify a dos/windows ini file (or a ini file patch) by applying to it the substitutions and deletions specified in one or more filter files. Such filtering is useful when one needs to do common transformations (such as changing where the windows system directory is, etc.) to a number of ini files. It is also useful for filtering out common ignorable changes from a ini diff, so only important changes remain.


Filter File Format

The format of this file is identical to the format of registry filter files described in the regfilter manpage.


OPTIONS

-f inifile

Read the specified ini file instead of from standard input.

-V

Prints the version number - the program then exits immediately.


SEE ALSO

the inidiff manpage, the regfilter manpage.
