HI,
Whats the configuration file called in C++ to get runtime parameters? For eg its called properties file in JAVA with extension .properties. This properties file is used to get run time parameters to be specified by the client. What is it in C++? And how to read from this configuration File.
I want this in pure C++. No VC++ or MFC.
Some sample code would be really helpful

Thanx in Advance

Unless you are talking about the config file for the compiler then no, there is no configuration file in C++ to get runtime parameters. You can get command line parameters passed via argc and *argv[] from main.

Are there any ways of reading the config file from my program at runtime?

I'm a little confused. Are you taking about a compiler or a program you wrote? An easy way to pass options to a compiler is to use a makefile. To use a config file in your program, you have to open the file and read it.
