  class Util_API PropertyFileConfiguration: public MapConfiguration
  
This implementation of a Configuration reads properties from a Java-style properties file. The file syntax is implemented as follows. - a line starting with a hash '#' or exclamation mark '!' is treated as a comment and ignored - every other line denotes a property assignment in the form <key> = <value> or <key> : <value> Keys and values may contain special characters represented by the following escape sequences: - \t: tab (0x09) - \n: line feed (0x0a) - \r: carriage return (0x0d) - \f: form feed (0x0c) For every other sequence that starts with a backslash, the backslash is removed. Therefore, the sequence \a would just yield an 'a'. A value can spread across multiple lines if the last character in a line (the character immediately before the carriage return or line feed character) is a single backslash. Property names are case sensitive. Leading and trailing whitespace is removed from both keys and values. A property name can neither contain a colon ':' nor an equal sign '=' character. { public: PropertyFileConfiguration(); Creates an empty PropertyFileConfiguration.

          PropertyFileConfiguration(std::istream& istr);
  
Creates an PropertyFileConfiguration and loads the configuration data from the given stream, which must be in properties file format. PropertyFileConfiguration(const std::string& path); Creates an PropertyFileConfiguration and loads the configuration data from the given file, which must be in properties file format. void load(std::istream& istr); Loads the configuration data from the given stream, which must be in properties file format. void load(const std::string& path); Loads the configuration data from the given file, which must be in properties file format. void save(std::ostream& ostr) const; Writes the configuration data to the given stream. The data is written as a sequence of statements in the form <key>: <value> separated by a newline character.

          void save(const std::string& path) const;
  
Writes the configuration data to the given file.
