NAME

       md_doc_help_kdb-convert - kdb-convert(1) -- Convert configuration files using elektra kdb
       convert [<import-format>] [<export-format>] [<import-file>] [export-file]

   DESCRIPTION
       This command allows a user to convert a file from any format supported by Elektra to any
       other supported format.

       This command relies on the functionality of Elektra but does not actually modify the key
       database in any way.

       This command uses plugins to specify and convert between formats, it is only limited by
       the plugins available for Elektra.

   USAGE
       Where import-format is the format that the current configuration file is using, export-
       format is the format the user wishes to convert it to, import-file is the full path to the
       current configration file, and export-file is where the converted configuration file
       should be saved.

       If either import-format or export-format is not specified, the dump format will be used
       instead. If either import-file or export-file are not specified, stdin and stdout are used
       respectively.

   OPTIONS
       • -H, --help: Show the man page.

       • -v, --verbose: Explain what is happening.

   EXAMPLES
       To convert an Elektra dump file to xml: cat sw.ecf | kdb convert dump xmltool > sw.xml

       Another way to convert an Elektra dump file to xml: kdb convert dump xmltool
       /home/user/dump_file.ecf /home/user/xml_file.xml

       To print an xml file using the line format: cat ../tests/xml_file.xml | kdb convert
       xmltool line Note that this command won't save the output, it will just diplay it to
       stdout.
