How to parse *.ini files with boost

I've spend some time to explore how to use "config_file_iterator" from boost::program_options library. Here is example:

---  config_test.cpp  ---
// Snippet 1: Boost config file parsing
//
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <set>
#include <sstream>

#include <boost/config.hpp>
#include <boost/program_options/detail/config_file.hpp>
#include <boost/program_options/parsers.hpp>

namespace pod = boost::program_options::detail;

int main() 
{  
    //contents
    std::stringstream s(
            "a = 1\n"
            "b = 2\n"
            "c = test option\n");
    //parameters
    std::set<std::string> options;
    options.insert("a");
    options.insert("b");
    options.insert("c");
    
    //parser
    for (pod::config_file_iterator i(s, options), e ; i != e; ++i)
    {
        std::cout << i->value[0] << std::endl;
    }
}
------------------

And more detailed sample:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <set>
#include <sstream>
#include <exception>
#include <fstream>

#include <boost/config.hpp>
#include <boost/program_options/detail/config_file.hpp>
#include <boost/program_options/parsers.hpp>

namespace pod = boost::program_options::detail;

int main() 
{  
    std::ifstream config("manager.ini");
    if(!config)
    {
        std::cerr<<"error"<<std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    //parameters
    std::set<std::string> options;
    std::map<std::string, std::string> parameters;
    options.insert("*");
    
    try
    {      
        for (pod::config_file_iterator i(config, options), e ; i != e; ++i)
        {
            std::cout << i->string_key <<" "<<i->value[0] << std::endl;
            parameters[i->string_key] = i->value[0];
        }
        std::cout << parameters["StatLogServer.Path"] << std::endl;
    }
    catch(std::exception& e)    
    {
        std::cerr<<"Exception: "<<e.what()<<std::endl;
    }
}
