DESCRIPTION

       This command prints which file a given key is stored in.
       While  many  keys  are  stored  in  a  default key database file, many others are stored in any number of
       configuration files located all over the system.
       This tool is made to allow users to find out the file that a key is actually stored in.
       This command makes use of Elektra´s resolver plugin which the uer can learn more  about  by  running  the
       command kdb info resolver.

              /sw/kdb/current/namespace or user.

KDB

       /sw/kdb/current/namespace
              Specifies which default namespace should be used when setting a cascading name. Note, that as root
              you  can  set user/sw/kdb/current/namespace to system to get the expected default. (by default the
              namespace is user)
