* 1. Scan them:
* s = config_get_string(...);
* sscanf( s, "%dx%d", &w, &h ); // scan format like: 20x4
* ...and check the w and h values...
* 2. Copy it to a preallocated buffer like device[256]:
* s = config_get_string(...);
* strncpy( device, s, sizeof(device));
* device[sizeof(device)-1] = 0;
* 3. Copy it to a newly allocated space in char *device:
* s = config_get_string(...);
* device = malloc(strlen(s)+1);
* if( device == NULL ) return -5; // or whatever < 0
* strcpy( device, s );
