It provides a file in a standard location for programs to look up the LDraw base
path and other assorted paths including search paths.
Lars summed it up quite well:
The ldraw.ini file is a containing LDraw configuration information.
An ldraw.ini file may look like this:
[LDraw]
BaseDirectory=C:\Lars\LDraw
LgeoDirectory=C:\Lars\LDraw\Apps\lgeo
[LDrawSearch]
1=<MODELDIR>
2=<HIDE><DEFPRIM><LDRAWDIR>\P
3=<DEFPART><LDRAWDIR>\PARTS
4=<LDRAWDIR>\MODELS
5=<DEFPART><LDRAWDIR>\UnOff\PARTS
6=<DEFPART>C:\My Own Parts
