Preference Types

  • Default preferences: pref(...., keys below mountpoint/pref/.
  • User preferences: user_pref(...., keys below mountpoint/user/.
  • Lock preferences: lockPref(...., keys below mountpoint/lock/.
  • Sticky preferences: sticky_pref(...., keys below mountpoint/sticky/.

Only Keys below one of these points are valid, everything else will be dropped

Data Types

  • integer
  • string
  • boolean

Hierarchy

In Mozilla preference files . is used to separate sections, while elektra uses /. For simplification, and because / isn't allowed in preference keys, the plugin treats . and / equally.

kdb set system/prefs/lock/a/lock/key lock
kdb set system/prefs/lock/a/lock.key lock
kdb set system/prefs/lock/a.lock.key lock

will all result in lockPref('a.lock.key', 'lock');

```
