Cdist will use all available configuration directories and create

a temporary confdir containing links to the real configuration directories.
|

This way it is possible to merge configuration directories.

By default it consists of everything in $HOME/.cdist and cdist/conf/.

This is the central entry point.

It is an executable (+x bit set) shell script that can use

values from the explorers to decide which configuration to create

Its intent is to used to define mapping from configurations to hosts.

All other files in this directory are not directly used by cdist, but you

maintain different groups of hosts.
