       elektra-values - values of elektra keys

       In  Elektra  string-keys  are  preferred.  Nevertheless,  binary  keys,  i.e. strings with
       null-characters embedded are possible.

ABSENT KEYS

       Sometimes a key does not exist at all. When using ksLookup() you will get a null  pointer.
       In  the  C++  Binding  the  null  pointer is wrapped in a key. Thus this is also sometimes
       called NULL KEYS.

NULL VALUES

       Null values are binary values without content. They are the only keys that have  the  size
       0.

       Null values are always binary values.

EMPTY VALUES

       Empty values point to a string that only contains a null byte.

       Empty values are possible for both string and binary values.
