2.7.1.7. cft_GetString()

This is the simplest interface function to retrieve a configuration string. This assumes that you exactly know the name of the key and you are sure that the value is a string. The function returns the pointer to the constant string or returns NULL if the configuration key is not present in the tree or the value is not a string.

The use of this function is not recommended. This function is present in this package to ease porting of programs that use simpler configuration information management software.

char *cft_GetString(ptConfigTree pCT,
                    char *key
  ){
