@brief Get number of sections in a dictionary
@param d Dictionary to examine
@return int Number of sections found in dictionary
This function returns the number of sections found in a dictionary.
The test to recognize sections is done on the string stored in the
dictionary: a section name is given as "section" whereas a key is
stored as "section:key", thus the test looks for entries that do not
contain a colon.
This clearly fails in the case a section name contains a colon, but
this should simply be avoided.
This function returns -1 in case of error.

This function queries a dictionary for a key. A key as read from an
ini file is given as "section:key". If the key cannot be found,
the notfound value is returned.
Supported values for integers include the usual C notation
so decimal, octal (starting with 0) and hexadecimal (starting with 0x)
are supported. Examples:
- "42" -> 42
- "042" -> 34 (octal -> decimal)
- "0x42" -> 66 (hexa -> decimal)
Warning: the conversion may overflow in various ways. Conversion is
totally outsourced to strtol(), see the associated man page for overflow
handling.
Credits: Thanks to A. Becker for suggesting strtol()

- A string starting with 'N'
- A string starting with 'f'
- A string starting with 'F'
- A string starting with '0'

necessarily have to be 0 or 1.
