					Within this initial manifest, you define, which objects should be
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					created on which host. To distinguish between hosts, you can use the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					environment variable **__target_host**. Let's have a look at a simple
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					example:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					__file /etc/cdist-configured
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					case "$__target_host" in
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   localhost)
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        __directory /home/services/kvm-vm --parents yes
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   ;;
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					esac
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					This manifest says: Independent of the host, always create the (empty) file
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					***/etc/cdist-configured***, but create the directory ***/home/services/kvm-vm***,
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					including all parent directories, only on the host ***localhost***.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					As you can see, there is no magic involved, the manifest is simple shell code that
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					utilises cdist types.

					MORE ABOUT TYPES AND OBJECTS

					All available types in cdist can be called like normal executables.
