md_doc_help_kdb-vset(3) Set the value of a key with a validation regular expression

DESCRIPTION

This command allows the user to set the value of a key and create a validation regular expression which future sets are checked against. This command supports regular expressions as defined in extended regular expressions. If a user tries to set a value that does not match the regular expression, a user-defined message is returned.

Note: In order for this command to work, the validation plugin must be mounted where the key resides.

OPTIONS

  • -H, --help: Show the man page.
  • -V, --version: Print version info.

EXAMPLES

To set the user/example/key key to the value a and validate that any future sets must match the regular expression a*: kdb vset user/example/key a a+ 'The value of this key must only consist of one more of the letter a'
