## EXAMPLES

```

# Backup-and-Restore: /tests/find

# We use the `dump` plugin, since some storage plugins, e.g. INI,

# create intermediate keys, such as `/tests/find/tests/foo`

# for the following test.

sudo kdb mount find.ecf /tests/find dump

# Create the keys we use for the examples

kdb set /tests/find/tests val1 kdb set /tests/find/tests/foo/bar val2 kdb set /tests/find/tests/fizz/buzz fizzbuzz kdb set /tests/find/tostfizz val3 kdb set /tests/find/tust/level lvl

# list all keys containing /tests/find/t[eo]

kdb find '/tests/find/t[eo]' #> user/tests/find/tests #> user/tests/find/tests/fizz/buzz #> user/tests/find/tests/foo/bar #> user/tests/find/tostfizz

# list all keys containing fizz

kdb find 'fizz' #> user/tests/find/tests/fizz/buzz #> user/tests/find/tostfizz

kdb rm -r /tests/find sudo kdb umount /tests/find ```

## SEE ALSO

- If the user would also like to see the values of the keys below `path` then you should consider the kdb-export(1) command.
