 Singleton for reading the configuration file required for your program.
 
+## What can do
+
+1. Separation of parameter and value by separators `=` and `=>`
+2. Commenting on lines using special characters `;`, `#`, `//`, `/*`
+3. Support for sections for describing parameter blocks (sections are set by the name in `[]`)
+4. Support for spaces and tabs for visual separation
+
 ## Quick start
 
 The `settings.conf` file (see the [tests](tests/)):
