kdbGet()calls
This caching plugin stores keysets from previous kdbGet() calls
to improve performance when reading configuration files.
The cache plugin is compiled and enabled on compatible systems by default. No actions are needed to enable it.
POSIX compliant system (including XSI extensions).
The plugin is only compiled if the plugins resolver and mmapstorage
are also available.
Incompatible with storage plugins, which do not always produce the same keyset on any invocation
concerning the same configuration file. A notable example here is the ini plugin (see issue #2592).
The cache files are located in the user's home directory below ~/.cache/elektra/ and
shall not be altered, otherwise the behavior is undefined.
