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.
