.SH NAME
md_doc_help_kdb \- kdb(1) -- key database access tools 
Elektra provides a universal and secure framework to store configuration parameters in a global, hierarchical key database\&.
.PP
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\&.
