kdb editor <key-name> [<format>]
Where key-name
is the destination where the user wants to edit keys and format
is the format in which the keys should be edited. If the format
argument is not passed, then the default format will be used as determined by the value of the sw/kdb/current/format
key. By default, that key is set to the dump
format. The format
attribute relies on Elektra's plugin system to properly import the configuration. 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.
This command allows a user to edit configuration of the key database using a text editor. The user should specify the format that the current configuration or keys are in, otherwise the default format will be used.
