DESCRIPTION

This command allows a user to globally mount some plugins that will be part of every interaction with the global keydatabase.

Note that previous calls of kdb global-mount will be overwritten. See below for information on how to add plugins that will be considered by future kdb global-mount executions.

If possible, you should prefer local mounts.

IMPORTANT

This command writes into the /etc directory and as such it requires root permissions. Use kdb file system/elektra/globalplugins to find out where exactly it will write to.

• -H, --help: Show the man page.
• -V, --version: Print version info.
• -p, --profile=<profile>: Use a different kdb profile.
• -W, --with-recommends: Also add recommended plugins and warn if they are not available.

KDB

• /sw/elektra/kdb/#0/current/plugins/global: It contains a space-separated list of plugins which are added automatically (by default spec). The plugin-configuration syntax is as described above in the synopsis.
