NAME

       kdb-vset - Set the value of a key with a validation regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       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.

       letter a"
