__directory /tmp/foobar
# Remove a directory
__directory /tmp/foobar --state absent
# Ensure /etc exists correctly
__directory /etc --owner root --group root --mode 0755
# Create nfs service directory, including parents
__directory /home/services/nfs --parents
# Change permissions recursively
__directory /home/services --recursive --owner root --group root
# Setup a temp directory
__directory /local --mode 1777
# Take it all
__directory /home/services/kvm --recursive --parents \
--owner root --group root --mode 0755 --state present
