What function will you use if you want informations to be retrieved from an
ini file?

Gonna have a little trouble reading it if you open it for output, aren't

As an alternative to using basic text I/O statements, it may be that you can
use Windows API functions for this purpose. See this link:

But I can't say for sure if these API functions still work with recent
versions of Windows.
