{


    {


        key=val


        {


            metakey = b


        }


        {


            comment = huhu


        }


    }
}

Add a key value pair to the database¶

kdb set user/examples/tcl/key value

The Tcl plugin also supports metadata¶

kdb setmeta user/examples/tcl/key comment 'This key contains example data.'

A known limitation of the plugin is that it discards whitespace characters¶

kdb getmeta user/examples/tcl/key comment #> Thiskeycontainsexampledata.

kdb export user/examples/tcl tcl #> { #> { #> user/examples/tcl/key = value #> { #> comment = Thiskeycontainsexampledata. #> } #> } #> }

Undo modifications¶

kdb rm -r user/examples/tcl sudo kdb umount user/examples/tcl

## Binary Data
The plugin also supports binary data via the [base64 plugin](@ref src_plugins_base64_README_md) and null keys via the [null plugin](@ref src_plugins_null_README_md).

Mount plugin¶

sudo kdb mount config.tcl user/tests tcl
