What is XDG ini?

• reactordev 3y ago
  XDG is the freedesktop group I believe. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ https://specifications.freedesktop.org/

    Yes, i knew that. What is XDG ini?

      The format they use. Find and view a *.desktop file, for instance.
      • blueflow 3y ago
        *.desktop files are at most ini-like, they have a different specification that does not mention "INI" at all. What did formerly_proven refer to when saying "XDG ini"?
        • lpribis 3y ago
          "INI" is not a specification. All INI parsers are slightly different, such that people refer to any file with [Section] Key = Value Format as "INI" or INI-like, including the xdg format.

            Heck. TOML is a superset of it.

              A subset, any TOML is a valid INI, but not nearly all INI are valid TOML
