Library: Util
Package: Configuration
Header: Poco/Util/FilesystemConfiguration.h

## Description

An implementation of AbstractConfiguration that stores configuration data in a directory hierarchy in the filesystem.

Every period-separated part of a property name is represented as a directory in the filesystem, relative to the base directory. Values are stored in files named "data".

All changes to properties are immediately persisted in the filesystem.

For example, a configuration consisting of the properties

    logging.loggers.root.channel.class = ConsoleChannel
    logging.loggers.app.name = Application
    logging.loggers.app.channel = c1
    logging.formatters.f1.class = PatternFormatter
    logging.formatters.f1.pattern = [%p] %t

is stored in the filesystem as follows:

    logging/
            loggers/
                    root/
                         channel/
                                 class/
                                       data ("ConsoleChannel")
                    app/
                        name/
                             data ("Application")
                        channel/
                                data ("c1")
            formatters/
                       f1/
                          class/
                                data ("PatternFormatter")
                          pattern/
                                  data ("[%p] %t")

## Destructor

### ~FilesystemConfiguration

~FilesystemConfiguration();

## Member Functions

### clear

void clear();

Clears the configuration by erasing the configuration directory and all its subdirectories and files.
