  - parse
```
public static Map<String,String> parse(File file)
                                throws IOException
```
    Return a Map using the contents of the File file. See parseBufferedReader for details of the input format.
    Parameters:
    file - A File to parse.
    Returns:
    A Map containing the key, value pairs from file.
    Throws:
    IOException - if file cannot be read.
  - parse
```
public static Map<String,String> parse(File file,
                                       Map<String,String> map)
```
    Return a Map using the contents of the File file. If file cannot be read, use map instead, and write the result to where file should have been.
    Parameters:
    file - A File to attempt to parse.
    map - A Map containing values to use as defaults.
    Returns:
    A Map containing the key, value pairs from file, or if file cannot be read, map.
  - parseSubscriptions
```
public static List<String> parseSubscriptions(File file,
                                              List<String> list)
```
    Return a List using the contents of the File file. If file cannot be read, use list instead, and write the result to where file should have been.
    Parameters:
    file - A File to attempt to parse.
    list - The default subscriptions to be saved and returned if the file cannot be read
    Returns:
    A List consisting of one element for each line in file, or if file cannot be read, list.
  - stripComments
```
public static String stripComments(String inputLine)
```
    Strip the comments from a String. Lines that begin with '#' and ';' are considered comments, as well as any part of a line after a '#'.
    Parameters:
    inputLine - A String to strip comments from.
    Returns:
    A String without comments, but otherwise identical to inputLine.
  - write
```
public static void write(Map<String,String> map,
                         File file)
                  throws IOException
```
    Write contents of Map map to the File file. Output is written with one key, value pair on each line, in the format: key=value. Write to a temp file in the same directory and then rename, to not corrupt simultaneous accesses by the router. Except on Windows where renameTo() will fail if the target exists.
    Parameters:
    map - A Map to write to file.
    file - A File to write the Map to.
    Throws:
    IOException - if file cannot be written to.
