Types are the main component of cdist and define functionality. If you
|
||||||
|
use cdist, you'll write a type for every functionality you would like
|
||||||
|
to use.

HOW TO WRITE A NEW TYPE
|
||||||
|
-----------------------
|
||||||
|
A type consists of
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- parameter (required)
|
||||||
|
- manifest (optional)
|
||||||
|
- gencode (optional)
|
||||||
|
- explorer (optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Types are stored below conf/type/. Their name should always be prefixed with
|
||||||
|
two underscores (__) to prevent collisions with other binaries in $PATH.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To begin a new type from a template, execute "cdist-type-template __NAME".
