					   Third stage:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   - Cdist calls the "gencode" binary of the providers
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					     for every created object. This binary should create
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					     code to be executed on the target on stdout.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					     If the gencode binary fails, it must print diagnostic
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					     messages on stderr and exit non-zero.
 | 
				
			||||||
 |

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					     do can be found at the end of this document.

					Scope of code execution on the client
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   It should be assumed that the clients are pretty dumb
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   and thus do not have high level tools like python
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   installed.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   If a provider requires specific tools to be present
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   on the target, there must be another provider that
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   provides this tool and the first provider must create
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					   an object of the specific provider.
