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 <a href="../man7/cdist-manifest.html">cdist-manifest(7)</a>) 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. AVAILABILITY</h2></div></div></div><p>Messaging is possible between all <span class="strong"><strong>local</strong></span> scripts:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
