\fBkdb\fR \- key database access tools
.
.P
Elektra provides a universal and secure framework to store configuration parameters in a global, hierarchical key database\.
.
.P
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\.
