...how to read INI values in bash

inivar is a provided program (used by the main script named linuxcnc)

deb-install example (using sim config ~/linuxcnc/configs/sim/sim.axis/axis.ini):

$ which linuxcnc
/usr/bin/linuxcnc
$ which inivar
/usr/bin/inivar
$ inivar -h
inivar: -var <variable> {-sec <section>} {<-ini inifile>} [-num <nth item>]
$ inivar -ini ~/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/axis.ini -sec EMC -var VERSION
1.1

RIP example (base dir== /home/git/linuxcnc-dev):

$ source /home/git/linuxcnc-dev/scripts/rip-environment
$ which linuxcnc
/home/git/linuxcnc-dev/scripts/linuxcnc
$ which inivar
/home/git/linuxcnc-dev/bin/inivar
$ inivar -h
inivar: -var <variable> {-sec <section>} {<-ini inifile>} [-num <nth item>]
$ inivar -ini /home/git/linuxcnc-dev/configs/sim/axis/axis.ini -sec EMC -var VERSION
1.1

I think that the INI file might be an environment variable too?
$INIFILE ?

(Not at a LinuxCNC machine so I can't test if that remains available to M100+)
