bool Config::parameter_exists	(	const std::string &	section,
		const std::string &	parameter
	)		const

Test to see if a parameter exists within a section.

Returns: true if parameter is found within section

Definition at line 210 of file config.cpp.

short Config::read_conf ( std::ifstream & inconffile )

Read a configuration file.

This function reads the configuration file specified in the constructor parameter. The information is stored in the variable conf.

A configuration file contains section(s) (between [ ]), and the section(s) contains parameter(s) with there respective value(s). The section and the parameter are always access via a string. Below is an exemple: one section named PUMA560_mDH, and two parameters.

[PUMA560_mDH] DH: 0 dof: 6
