An example of how to use the Config class

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>

#include <AsyncConfig.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace Async;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  Config cfg;
  if (!cfg.open("test.cfg"))
  {
    cerr << "*** Error: Could not open config file test.cfg\n";
    exit(1);
  }

    // Read the string value without checking if it exists or not.
  cout << "value=" << cfg.getValue("SECTION1", "VALUE1") << endl;
  
    // Read the string value, returning it in a variable.
    // The return value will indicate if the variable was found or not.
  string str_val;
  if (cfg.getValue("SECTION1", "VALUE2", str_val))
  {
    cout << "str_val=" << str_val << endl;
  }
  else
