INI format

INI files were once all the rage on Windows. INI stands for initialization. Mucking around with windows.ini and system.ini to get something working was very common in the eighties. The format itself was very simple and included sections with sets of key–value pairs and comments. Here is a simple INI file:

[section]a=1b=2; here is a comment[another_section]c=3d=4e=5

The Windows API has functions for reading and writing INI files, so a lot of Windows applications used them as their configuration files.
