File-based ConfigStore

You need your simulation program to be written like this:

int main (...)
{
  CommandLine cmd;
  cmd.Parse (...);

  ConfigStore config;
  config.ConfigureDefaults ();

  ... topology creation

  config.ConfigureAttributes ();

  Simulator::Run ();
}

then run your simulation program with the following parameters to save a plain text file (in this example, config.txt):

./waf --run "scratch/myprogram --ns3::ConfigStore::Mode=Save --ns3::ConfigStore::Filename=config.txt"

GtkConfigStore

You need your simulation program to be written like this:

int main (...)
{

  ... topology creation

  GtkConfigStore configstore;  
  configstore.ConfigureAttributes();

  Simulator::Run ();
}

Then before the simulation runs a window will pop up allowing you to browse Object attributes and to save/load the configuration.
