NAME

       kdb-sget - Get the value of a key stored in the key database from a script

SYNOPSIS

       kdb sget <path> <default-value>

       Where  path is the full path to the key and default-value is the value that should be printed if no value
       can be retrieved.

DESCRIPTION

       This command is used to retrieve the value of a key from within a script.
       When using the kdb tool in a script, the user should use the sget command  in  place  of  the  kdb-get(1)
       command.
       The kdb-get(1) command should not be used in scripts because it may return an error instead of printing a
       value in certain circumstances.
       The sget command guarantees that a value will be printed (unless the user passes faulty arugments).
       This command will either print the value of the key  it  retrives  or  a  default  value  that  the  user
       specifies.

EXAMPLES

       To get the value of a key from a script or return the value 0: kdb sget user/example/key 0

       To  get  the  value  of a key using a cascading lookup or return the value notfound: kdb get /example/key
       "notfound"
