NAME


kdb-mount - Mount a file to the key database

SYNOPSIS


kdb mount [<path> <mountpoint>] [<plugin> [<config>] [..]]

· Where path is the path to the file the user wants to mount. See kdb info resolver for
details what an absolute and relative path means.

· mountpoint is where in the key database the new backend should be mounted. (For a
cascading mount pount, mountpoint should start with /)

· plugin should be an Elektra plugin. A list of such plugins with configuration can be
given.

· Plugins may be followed by a , separated list of keys and their corresponding values
which will be written below the backend configuration.

DESCRIPTION


This command allows a user to mount a new backend.

The idea of mounting is explained in elektra-mounting(7) elektra-mounting.md.

Mounting in Elektra allows the user to mount a file into the current key database like a
user may mount a parition into the current filesystem by creating a backend.
This functionality is key to Elektra as it allows users to build a global key database
comprised of many different conifguration files.
A backend acts as a worker to allow Elektra to interpret configuration files as keys in
the central key database such that any edits to the keys are reflected in the file and
vice versa.
Additionally, the user can use this command to list the currently mounted backends by
running the command with no arguments.

IMPORTANT


This command writes into the /etc directory and as such it requires root permissions. Use
kdb file system/elektra/mountpoints to find out where exactly it will write to.
