All characters after and including '#' until the end of line is a comment.
In a line, all leading and trailing whitespace characters are ignored.
Empty lines are ignored/skipped.</p>
<p>Hostfile line is processed like the following. First, all comments are
removed. Then all leading and trailing whitespace characters are stripped.
If such a line results in empty line it is ignored/skipped. Otherwise,
host string is used.</p>

<h3>9.6.2. CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT<a class="headerlink" href="#cache-path-pattern-format" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Cache path pattern specifies path for a cache directory subdirectory.
In the path, '%N' will be substituted by the target host, '%h' will
be substituted by the calculated host directory, '%P' will be substituted
by the current process id. All format codes that
<strong>python</strong> <strong>datetime.strftime()</strong> function supports, except
'%h', are supported. These date/time directives format cdist config/install
start time.</p>
<p>If empty pattern is specified then default calculated host directory
is used.</p>
<p>Calculated host directory is a hash of a host cdist operates on.</p>
<p>Resulting path is used to specify cache path subdirectory under which
current host cache data are saved.</p>

<p>Start trigger (simple http server) that waits for connections. When host
connects then it triggers config or install command and then cdist
config/install is executed which configures/installs host.
When triggered cdist will try to reverse DNS lookup for host name and if
host name is dervied then it is used for running cdist config. If no
host name is resolved then IP address is used.
Request path recognizes following requests:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>/cdist/config/.*</strong> for config</li>
<li><strong>/cdist/install/.*</strong> for install.</li>
</ul>
<p>This command returns the following response codes to client requests:</p>

<h2>9.24. CAVEATS<a class="headerlink" href="#caveats" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>When operating in parallel, either by operating in parallel for each host
(-p/--parallel) or by parallel jobs within a host (-j/--jobs), and depending
on target SSH server and its configuration you may encounter connection drops.
This is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxStartups</strong> configuration options.
You may also encounter session open refusal. This happens with ssh multiplexing
when you reach maximum number of open sessions permitted per network
connection. In this case ssh will disable multiplexing.
This limit is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxSessions</strong> configuration
options. For more details refer to <strong>sshd_config</strong>(5).</p>
<p>When requirements for the same object are defined in different manifests (see
example below), for example, in init manifest and in some other type manifest
and those requirements differ then dependency resolver cannot detect
dependencies right. This happens because cdist cannot prepare all objects first
and run all objects afterwards. Some object can depend on the result of type
explorer(s) and explorers are executed during object run. cdist will detect
such case and write warning message. Example for such a case:</p>
