A section starts with its name +surrounded by square brackets and continues till the next section +begins. Each variable must be in a section, and have the form +'name = value', for example: + + [section] + name1 = value1 + name2 = value2 + +Section names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except +newline (double quote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`, +respectively).
