+NAME
+----
+cdist-types - Functionality bundled
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+A cdist type describes some kind of functionality.
+Types can be run from manifests.
+It is recommeneded to prefix all types with two
+underscores, because types will be executed and
+thus you prevent collisions with real binaries
+(like "file").
