The problem with the Windows registry, at least back in the day, was that it was a single file that could be corrupted and it would wreck your whole system. I think having a standard utility API for *nix configs makes a lot of sense. I'm surprised it doesn't exist. I tried to find one, and there are some libraries for reading and parsing in every language, but nothing that seems to cover everything. This bash script seems to be a fairly "built in" way to parse them: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/441076/which-is-the... |

Exactly. But Registry has been using NTFS and it's capabilities for rollbacks and recovery. Therefore, the problem is mostly solved. There are occasions [0] of bugs causing corruptions though but they are very rare.
