/*
 * shvar.h
 *
 * Interface for non-destructively reading/writing files containing
 * only shell variable declarations and full-line comments.
 *
 * Includes explicit inheritance mechanism intended for use with
 * Red Hat Linux ifcfg-* files.  There is no protection against
 * inheritance loops; they will generally cause stack overflows.
 * Furthermore, they are only intended for one level of inheritance;
 * the value setting algorithm assumes this.
