What is INI-file?

INI-file is a convenient data storage in a simple text file. It is very usefull to store data between application's work sessions. An INI-file consists two levels architecture and has three types of information: sections, keys, and values. The first level is the sections level. A section is collection of key/value pairs and has a title like a string name enclosed in square brackets. The begining of section is its title and the end of the current section is a title of another one or the end of an INI-file. The keys and values are paired. A key does not have to have a value, but when it presents, an equals (=) sign separates the key from the value. The key and value together create an item. The items are always subordinate to a section. Each section can have any number of child items.

For example, here's a simple INI-file structure:
