/** @defgroup read_config parsing various configuration files at run time
 *  @ingroup library
 *
 * The read_config related functions are a fairly extensible  system  of
 * parsing various configuration files at the run time.
 *
 * The idea is that the calling application is able to register
 * handlers for certain tokens specified in certain types
 * of files.  The read_configs function can then be  called
 * to  look  for all the files that it has registrations for,
 * find the first word on each line, and pass  the  remainder
 * to the appropriately registered handler.
 *
 * For persistent configuration storage you will need to use the
 * read_config_read_data, read_config_store, and read_config_store_data
 * APIs in conjunction with first registering a
 * callback so when the agent shutsdown for whatever reason data is written
 * to your configuration files.  The following explains in more detail the
 * sequence to make this happen.
 *
 * This is the callback registration API, you need to call this API with
 * the appropriate parameters in order to configure persistent storage needs.
 *
 *        int snmp_register_callback(int major, int minor,
 *                                   SNMPCallback *new_callback,
 *                                   void *arg);
 *
 * You will need to set major to SNMP_CALLBACK_LIBRARY, minor to
 * SNMP_CALLBACK_STORE_DATA. arg is whatever you want.
 *
 * Your callback function's prototype is:
 * int     (SNMPCallback) (int majorID, int minorID, void *serverarg,
 *                        void *clientarg);
 *
 * The majorID, minorID and clientarg are what you passed in the callback
 * registration above.  When the callback is called you have to essentially
 * transfer all your state from memory to disk. You do this by generating
 * configuration lines into a buffer.  The lines are of the form token
 * followed by token parameters.
 * 
 * Finally storing is done using read_config_store(type, buffer);
 * type is the application name this can be obtained from:
 *
 * netsnmp_ds_get_string(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID, NETSNMP_DS_LIB_APPTYPE);
 *
 * Now, reading back the data: This is done by registering a config handler
 * for your token using the register_config_handler function. Your
 * handler will be invoked and you can parse in the data using the
 * read_config_read APIs.
 *
