The List plugin can be used everywhere a list of plugins is required. It takes a list of plugins + configurations for every placement it's placed in and loads them.

Configuration

placements/set

Specifies the set-placements for the list plugin, e.g. "presetstorage precommit"

placements/get

Specifies the get-placements for the list plugin.

placements/error

Specifies the error-placements for the list plugin.

config/

Common config for all plugins.

plugins/#

The name of the plugin to load.

plugins/#/handle

Internal handle of already loaded plugin. Useful when loading plugins at run-time with elektraPluginOpen(). Do not set permanently (e.g. with kdb set).

plugins/#/placements/set

A list of set-placements for the plugin. Same for "get" and "error"

plugins/#/config/

Plugin specific config.

Example

placements/get = "postgetstorage"
config/cut = "will/be/overridden/for/plugin/#0"
plugins/#0 = "rename"
plugins/#0/placements   plugin placements
plugins/#0/placements/get = "postgetstorage"
plugins/#0/config   pluginconfig goes here
plugins/#0/config/cut = "will/be/stripped"
plugins/#1 = "keytometa"
plugins/#1/placements
plugins/#1/placements/get = "postgetstorage"
plugins/#2 = "enum"
plugins/#2/placements
plugins/#2/placements/get = "postgetstorage"

would have the callstack:

1. list->kdbGet
   1. rename->kdbGet
   2. keytometa->kdbGet
   3. enum->kdbGet
