## Description

`&name;` is a generic tool for parsing and updating configuration files.

## Options

`&name;` expects the name of a variable to be specified on the command line, optionally following a section name delimited with a dot ("."). In write mode, a new value can be set after an equal ("=") delimiter. The following options are available:

`-a`

- Print every value set in every section for this file.

`-f`

- Filename to parse or update.

`-q`

- Disable output on the standard stream.

`-v`

- Be more verbose.

`-w`

- Update a value or add a new one, and save it back into the original file.
