/**
 * SECTION:visu_configFile
 * @short_description: Defines methods to access (read/write) to
 * config files and to create different entries.
 *
 * <para>V_Sim uses two different configuration files. The first
 * stores the configuration of the program itself and is called
 * parameters file. The second stores differents values that control
 * the way files are rendered. It is called resources file. For
 * example, their is an entry in the parameters file that controls
 * your favorite rendering method ; and there is an entry in the
 * resources file that codes that vacancy elements are rendered by
 * cube in the atomic rendering method. Most methods of this part uses
 * a first argument usually called 'kind', that control if the method
 * will apply on the parameters file or on the resources
 * file. #VISU_CONFIG_FILE_PARAMETER and #VISU_CONFIG_FILE_RESOURCE are
 * the two flags that should be used for the 'kind' argument.</para>
 *
 * <para>There are different paths where these files can be
 * stored. These paths are stored in V_Sim with an order : for example
 * parameters file are first looked for in the current working
 * directory, then in the $HOME/.v_sim directory and finally in the
 * installation directory. This is transparent for the user and
 * visu_config_file_getValidPath() is the right method to access to the
 * best readable configuration file.</para>
 *
 * <para>Different part of V_Sim can add entries in these files. The
 * method visu_config_file_addEntry() is designed to this purpose. The
 * entries are defined by their name and they appear in the
 * configuration file as 'name:' followed by the data associated to
 * this entry. In the parameters file, the data are on the same
 * line. In the resources file, the data begin the line after and can
 * be longer that one line. When a configuration file is read, the
 * method associated to each entry (VisuConfigFileReadFunc()) is
 * called with a copy of their data lines. The method
 * visu_config_file_addExportFunction() should be used to add a callback
 * when the configurations files are written, then each part of V_Sim
 * that have entries can put some lines in the configuration
 * files.</para>
