Description

TIniFile is an implementation of TCustomIniFile which does the same as TMemIniFile, namely it reads the whole file into memory. Unlike TMemIniFile it does not cache updates in memory, but immediately writes any changes to disk.

TIniFile introduces no new methods, it just implements the abstract methods introduced in TCustomIniFile
