DESCRIPTION</h2></div></div></div><p>cdist has a simple but powerful way of allowing communication between
|
||
the initial manifest and types as well as types and types.</p><p>Whenever execution is passed from cdist to one of the
|
||
scripts described below, cdist generate 2 new temporary files
|
||
and exports the environment variables <span class="emphasis"><em>messages_in and
|
||
</em></span>messages_out to point to them.</p><p>Before handing over the control, the content of the global message
|
||
file is copied into the file referenced by $__messages_in.</p><p>After cdist gained control back, the content of the file referenced
|
||
by $__messages_out is appended to the global message file.</p><p>This way overwriting any of the two files by accident does not
|
||
interfere with other types.</p><p>The order of execution is not defined unless you create dependencies
|
||
between the different objects (see cdist-manifest(7)) and thus you
|
||
can only react reliably on messages by objects that you depend on.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_availability"></a>3.
