+# parseini --- parses 'ini' style configuration files.
+#
+# Usage:
+# awk -f parseini S=<section> P=<param> <ini file>
+#
+# if section is an empty string, then we use the default section
+#
+# example ini file:
+#
+# fruit = apple
+# fruit = pear
+# multiline = this is a multiline \
+# parameter
+#
+# # this is a comment
+#
+# [colors]
+# red = yes
+# green = no
+# blue = maybe
+#
+# [ocean]
+# fish = red
+# fish = blue
+#
+# example usage:
+# > awk -f parseini S=ocean P=fish testfile.ini
+# would return:
+# red
+# blue
