# `File.containsConfPair` property

A property to set `key = value` pairs under particular `[sections]` in config files.  For example, in stock Debian Jessie `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf` contains the lines

    [SeatDefaults]
    #autologin-user=

With the property

    "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" `File.containsConfPair` ("SeatDefaults", "autologin-user", "swhitton")

this will get set to

    [SeatDefaults]
    autologin-user=swhitton

# `LightDM.autoLogin` property

An application of `File.containsConfPair` to edit `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf` to enable autologin for a specified user: a property encapsulating the above example.

# Patches

Please see the two commits in branch `confpairs` in the repo at `git@github.com:spwhitton/propellor.git`.
