kdb provides access to the global key database of Elektra via command-line. In this manual we give an overview of the tool suite `kdb`. It is part of Elektra’s tools. The tool suite `kdb` consists of individual commands. Most commands are independent and some commands are sharing an executable. Some commands are written as external scripts.

The included commands can be listed via:
`kdb`

External commands can be listed via:
`kdb list-tools`.

Only a few commands are enough for daily use. We can retrieve a key by:
`kdb get user/key`

We store a key permanently with a value given by:
`kdb set user/key value`

We list all available keys arranged below a key by:
`kdb ls user/key`
