+Confuse is a configuration file parser library, licensed under the terms of
+the LGPL, and written in C. It supports sections and (lists of) values
+(strings, integers, floats, booleans or other sections), as well as some other
+features (such as single/double-quoted strings, environment variable expansion,
+functions and nested include statements). It makes it very easy to add
+configuration file capability to a program using a simple API.
+
+The goal of Confuse is not to be the configuration file parser library
+with a gazillion features. Instead, it aims to be easy to use and quick
+to integrate with your code. Confuse was called libcfg before, but was
+changed to not confuse with other similar libraries.
