NAME

       md_doc_help_kdb-vsetkdb-vset(1) - Set the value of a key with a validation regular
       expression
        - kdb vset <path> <value> <regex> [<message>]

       Where path is the path to the key the user wishes to set, value is the value the user
       wishes to set, and regex is the regular expression that should be used for validation. The
       optional parameter message is a user-defined message that will be displayed when a user
       tries to set the key to a value that doesn't match the regular expression.

   DESCRIPTION
       This command allows the user to set the value of a key and create a validation regular
       expression which future sets are checked against. This command supports regular
       expressions as defined in extended regular expressions. If a user tries to set a value
       that does not match the regular expression, a user-defined message is returned.

       Note: In order for this command to work, the validation plugin must be mounted where the
       key resides.

   OPTIONS

   EXAMPLES
       To set the user/example/key key to the value a and validate that any future sets must
       match the regular expression a*: kdb vset user/example/key a a+ 'The value of this key
       must only consist of one more of the letter a'
