What's the main point of dParser_parse_rc_line()?
The main difference to the current implementation is that equal signs are interpreted as separator. Besides, it requires that ``line'', ``name'' and ``value'' are initialised with a specific length (in dpid/dpid.c it is set to 1024). The major advantage is that corrupt files (with very long lines) would not congest the RAM since we abort after 1024 characters. This is very unlikely though.
The comment says it extracts type, name and value, but it doesn't extract type.
Sorry, I had forgotten to update the description. In a previous version of my patch there has been a ``type'' attribute. As proposed, I removed it later on. Since then this function does basically the same job as dParser_get_rc_pair(). --Tim
