/**
 * @defgroup DOXGRP_CONF_FSS File State Stack
 * @ingroup DOXGRP_CONF
 *
 * @note An understanding of the inner workings of the file state
 * stack is not necessary to use the config file parser.  If you
 * aren't interested in understanding the LibAST internals, you should
 * skip most of this section and simply study the examples.
 *
 * Parsers must keep track of various state-related information when
 * parsing files, things like file name, line number, etc.  And since
 * LibAST's config file parser supports the inclusion of sub-files via
 * its %include directive, it must keep track of multiple instances of
 * this information, one for each file.  LibAST uses a structure array
 * called the file state stack.
 *
 * When config file parsing is initiated by a call to spifconf_parse(),
 * the information for that file is pushed onto the empty stack.  For
 * monolithic config files, the stack retains its height throughout
 * the parsing cycle.  However, if an @c %include directive is
 * encountered (and the file is successfully opened), a new set of
 * data is placed atop the stack via file_push().  The new file is
 * then parsed in its entirety, including any sub-files that it may
 * itself include, before its information is popped off the stack and
 * parsing of the original file can continue.
 *
 * Client programs should not need to modify the stack in any way.
 * However, use of the file_peek_path() and file_peek_line() macros
 * are encouraged, specifically for printing error/warning messages.
 * Many of the file state stack manipulation routines should probably
 * never be called by client programs (and are therefore marked as
 * internal); they are, however, made available on the off chance that
 * someone may get super-creative and do something neat with them.
 * Just don't blame LibAST if your (ab)use of internal functions
 * breaks the parser!

/**
 * @defgroup DOXGRP_CONF_CTX Context Handling
 * @ingroup DOXGRP_CONF
 *
 * LibAST-style configuration files are organized into logical units
 * called "contexts."  A begin/end pair is used to surround groups of
 * directives which should be evaluated in a given context.  The begin
 * keyword is followed by the name of the context that will follow.
 * The end keyword may stand alone; anything after it is ignored.
 *
 * The parser starts out in a pseudo-context called @c null for which
 * LibAST employs a built-in handler that rejects any unexpected
 * directives with an error message.  Any other context must be dealt
 * with by a client-specified context handler.
 *
 * Context handlers defined by the client program must conform to the
 * following specification:
 * - Accept two parameters as follows:
 *    -# A spif_charptr_t containing the line of text to be parsed
 *    -# A void * containing optional state information, or NULL
 * - Return a void * containing optional state information, or NULL
 *
 * Although nothing else is strictly @em required by LibAST, if you
 * want your parser to actually work, it needs to handle the LibAST
 * context handler calling conventions.  The following is a
 * step-by-step walk-through of how LibAST calls parser functions:
 *
 * -# When LibAST encounters a @c begin keyword followed by a one or
 *    more additional words (words are separated by whitespace
 *    according to shell conventions), the word immediately following
 *    the @c begin keyword is interpreted as the context name.
 * -# LibAST checks its list of registered context handlers for one
 *    that matches the given context name.  If none is found, an error
 *    is printed, and the parser skips the entire context (until the
 *    next @c end keyword).  Otherwise, go to the next step.
 * -# The registered context handler function is called.  The value
 *    #SPIFCONF_BEGIN_STRING is passed as the first parameter (which I'll
 *    call @a buff ), and NULL is passed as the second parameter
 *    (which I'll call @a state ).
 * -# The context handler should handle this using a statement similar
 *    to the following:
 *     @code
 *     if (*buff == SPIFCONF_BEGIN_CHAR) {
 *     @endcode
 *    (The value of #SPIFCONF_BEGIN_CHAR is such that it should never
 *    occur in normal config file text.)
 *    If the handler does not require any persistent state information
 *    to be kept between calls, it may simply return NULL here.
 *    Otherwise, this portion of the handler should perform any
 *    initialization required for the state information and return a
 *    pointer to that information.
 * -# The value returned by the context handler is stored by LibAST
 *    for later use, and parsing of the config file continues with the
 *    next line.
 * -# Each subsequent line encountered in the config file which does
 *    not start with the keyword @c end is passed to the context
 *    handler function as the first parameter.  The second parameter
 *    will contain the handler's previous return value, the persistent
 *    state information pointer.  The handler, of course, should
 *    continue returning the state information pointer.
 * -# Once the @c end keyword is encountered, the context handler is
 *    called with #SPIFCONF_END_STRING as the first parameter and the
 *    state information pointer as the second parameter.  This
 *    situation should be caught by some code like this:
 *     @code
 *     if (*buff == SPIFCONF_END_CHAR) {
 *     @endcode
 *    Again, the handler should simply return NULL if no state
 *    information is being kept.  Otherwise, any post-processing or
 *    cleanup needed should be done, possibly including the freeing of
 *    the state pointer, etc.  The handler should then return NULL.
 * -# LibAST reverts to the aforementioned @c null context and
 *    continues parsing as above.
 *
 * A sample implementation of context handlers which demonstrate use
 * of this mechanism can be found in the @link conf_example.c config
 * file parser example @endlink.
