+One exception is if you redirect initool's output to the same file as input, which results in an empty file
+[like with other programs](https://superuser.com/questions/597244/why-does-redirecting-the-output-of-a-file-to-itself-produce-a-blank-file).
+Two wrapper scripts are included if you want to modify the input file:
+[`initool-overwrite.sh`](initool-overwrite.sh) (POSIX shell)
+and [`initool-overwrite.cmd`](initool-overwrite.cmd) (Windows batch).
+The scripts redirect the output of initool to a temporary file, then overwrite the original.
 
 An INI file consists of properties (`key=value` lines) and sections (designated with a `[section name]` header line).
 A property can be at the "top level" of the file (before any section headers) or in a section (after a section header).
