A library for parsing FreeDesktop entry files in Rust. These files are used in the Desktop Entry, Icon Theme, and Systemd Unit file. They are similar to ini files but are distinct enough that an ini parse would not work.
As example input lets use the contents of sshd.service
```text [Unit] Description=OpenSSH Daemon Wants=sshdgenkeys.service After=sshdgenkeys.service After=network.target
[Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/sshd -D ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process Restart=always
[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ```
For example, to print the start command we could do this:
```rust use freedesktopentryparser::parse_entry;
let entry = parseentry("./testdata/sshd.service")?; let startcmd = entry .section("Service") .attr("ExecStart") .expect("Attribute doesn't exist"); println!("{}", startcmd); ```
This prints /usr/bin/sshd -D
