kdb export <source> [<format>]
This command allows a user to export keys from the key database. Keys are exported to stdout
in whichever format is specified. The default format is dump
but can be changed by editing the value of the sw/kdb/current/format
key. This command can also be used to view full key(s) including their values.
Where source
is the path of the key(s) you want to export. Additionally, the user can specify a format to use by passing it as the option argument format
. The format
attribute relies on Elektra's plugin system to export the keys in the desired format. The user can view all plugins available for use by running the kdb-list(1) command. To learn about any plugin, the user can simply use the kdb-info(1) command.
