Struct CRiConfig 

pub struct CRiConfig { /* private fields */ }

Opaque C wrapper structure for RiConfig.

Provides C-compatible interface to the unified configuration management system. The configuration object provides type-safe access to configuration values from multiple sources with automatic type conversion and validation.

Configuration Sources

The configuration system aggregates values from:

• Default values defined in code
• Configuration files (YAML, TOML, JSON)
• Environment variables
• Command-line arguments
• Remote configuration services (etcd, Consul)

Value Resolution

Configuration values are resolved using precedence order:

1. Environment variables (highest priority)
2. Command-line arguments
3. Remote configuration
4. Configuration files
5. Default values (lowest priority)

Type Safety

The configuration system provides type-safe value retrieval:

• get_string(): Retrieve string values
• get_int(): Retrieve integer values with automatic conversion
• get_bool(): Retrieve boolean values
• get_float(): Retrieve floating-point values
• get_list(): Retrieve array values

Invalid type requests return default values or trigger validation errors.
