   1 Routines to handle .inf files.

   3 This is the UNICODE-enabled version of inflib. It will be used by usetup and mkhive.

   5 This library is used to share .inf handling code between build tools and
   6 ReactOS code. Two versions are built, "inflib_host" (for use by build tools)
   7 and "inflib" (for use by ReactOS code). Both depend on the same core source,
   8 with a wrapper for the appropriate interface.
   9 Most of the differences between the host and the ReactOS environment are
  10 abstracted away in builddep.h. Of particular note is that the host version
  11 uses Ansi characters while the ReactOS version uses Unicode. So, the core
  12 source uses TCHARs. builddep.h depends on a preprocessor variable INFLIB_HOST
  13 which is defined when building the host version (inflib.mak) but not defined
  14 when building the ReactOS version (inflib.xml).
  15 The wrappers have "host" or "ros" in their filename. The library interface is
  16 "infhost.h" for the host version, "infros.h" for the ReactOS version.
