How. Can. An. External. App. Find. Out. What. Fred. Uses. As. A. Default.
Value? Please? Imagine the user's config file hasn't been updated for some
time, and contains the line %defaultHTL=25 . Suppose a GUI configurator
wants to show the user what the default is. It can obviously not rely on
the value encoded by %defaultHTL for the reasons you've already stated: it's
a default that the devs are free to change in subsequent releases of fred
and the % indicates it's merely a comment that can be ignored.
So once again I refer to my previous mails - the only way I can think of is
to create a dummy freenet.defaults by running configure with the --silent
option, and parse that. Is there any other way, yes, or no?
