I'm terrified by this binary config file. Why?! Was he writing C and said "fuck it, memcpy"?

Edit: I suppose it would be more like "fuck it, fprintf(f, (char*)my_config_object, sizeof(my_config_object))"

I mean, python has pickle and people use that to store config. It's a weird practice, and totally unsafe, but it works well enough. This wouldn't be that different.
