NAME

       kdb - key database access tools

       Elektra  provides  a universal and secure framework to store configuration parameters in a
       global, hierarchical key database.

       The core is a small library implemented in C. The  plugin-based  framework  fulfills  many
       configuration-related  tasks to avoid any unnecessary code duplication across applications
       while it still allows the core to stay without any external dependency. Elektra  abstracts
       from  cross-platform-related  issues with an consistent API, and allows applications to be
       aware of other applications´ configurations, leveraging easy application integration.
