*    Provides command line ini editing capabilities.  These include both      *
*  reading of ini files and writing new entries to them.                      *
*                                                                             *

%s: This program needs five parameters to process an ini file.\n\
There are two major operations, read and write.  The type of operation\n\
should be the first parameter.  The other parameters are similar for both\n\
operations, except for the last parameter.  These are as follows:\n\
Reading:\n\
\tread inifile section entry defaultvalue\n\
  This reads the \"inifile\" specified and looks for the \"section\" and\n\
\"entry\" name in the file.  It will either return (via standard output)\n\
the value found there or it will return the \"defaultvalue\".  No error\n\
will be raised if the entry is missing, but the default signals that no\n\
value was defined.\n\
  Additionally, if the entry name is the special value \"whole_section\",\n\
then the entire section will be read and returned as a CSV list.  If the\n\
section is empty, then the default string is returned instead.\n\
Writing:\n\
\twrite inifile section entry newvalue\n\
  This writes a new item with contents \"newvalue\" into the \"inifile\"\n\
in the \"section\" at the \"entry\" specified.  This should always succeed\n\
unless the ini file is not writable (in which case an error should be\n\
returned).  Nothing is send to standard output for a write operation.\n\
