.BI "char econf_delimiter_tag(econf_file\ *" "key_file" ");"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
The \fBeconf_delimiter_tag\fR() function retrieves the character used as the delimiter between keys and values in the configuration file represented by the structure pointed to by \fIkey_file\fR\&.

.PP
For standard INI\-style files, this delimiter is typically the equals sign (=)\&. The delimiter can be set manually during file creation or parsing (e\&.g\&., via
\fBeconf_set_delimiter_tag\fR())\&. This function allows retrieving the currently configured delimiter\&.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

.PP
On success, \fBeconf_delimiter_tag\fR() returns the delimiter character (\fBchar\fR)\&.

.SH "ERRORS"

.PP
This function does not return an \fBeconf_err\fR code directly\&.
