This plugin reads and writes files written in a basic line-oriented ini-like format. It is very simplistic without sections, the ini plugin and for specifications the ni plugin should be preferred in most cases. Since the simpleini
plugin requires the GNU C library it will not work on operating systems that use another C library such as macOS.
It is quite suitable to export configuration if you want line-by-line key, value pairs without sections or metadata. (Thus +3000 in status)
$ kdb export system/samba simpleini
The only parameter simpleini supports is format
which allows you to change the syntax of individual lines. The format
is a string with any characters where only %
has special meaning:
%
in an even number N are escaped and represent N/2 %
, e.g. %%%%
are actually %%
in the resulting format.%
represents the key.%
represents the value.The default is % = %
.
For example, if you want every key to be marked %:key value
you would use:
$ kdb export -c "format=%%:% %" system/samba simpleini %:key value %:key2 value2
format
) and the null plugin is used to handle null values.Mount the plugin:
$ kdb mount -d /etc/samba/smb.conf system/samba ccode null simpleini
