PROGRAM:

NAME

kdb-sget - Get the value of a key stored in the key database from a script

SYNOPSIS

kdb sget <path> <default-value>

Where path is the full path to the key and default-value is the value that should be
printed if no value can be retrieved.

DESCRIPTION

This command is used to retrieve the value of a key from within a script.
When using the kdb tool in a script, the user should use the sget command in place of the
kdb-get(1) command.
The kdb-get(1) command should not be used in scripts because it may return an error
instead of printing a value in certain circumstances.
The sget command guarantees that a value will be printed (unless the user passes faulty
arugments).
This command will either print the value of the key it retrives or a default value that
the user specifies.

EXAMPLES

To get the value of a key from a script or return the value 0: kdb sget user/example/key 0

To get the value of a key using a cascading lookup or return the value notfound: kdb get
/example/key "notfound"
