# ini

This section describes the thin wrapper api functions for processing INI data. The underlying functionality can also load ".conf, .cfg" files since they are nearly similar syntactically.

[functions](/docs/ini/functions.md)

The thin api functions used for the maci library that enable INI functionality, use and wrap the native configparser library shipped with the python standard library for its underlying functionality.
