+Best practice
+=============
+Practices used in real environments
+
+Passwordless connections
+------------------------
+It is recommended to run cdist with public key authentication.
+This requires a private/public key pair and the entry
+"PermitRootLogin without-password" in the sshd server.
+See sshd_config(5) and ssh-keygen(1).
+
+
+Speeding up ssh connections
+---------------------------
+When connecting to a new host, the initial delay with ssh connections
+is pretty big. As cdist makes many connections to each host successive
+connections can be sped up by "sharing of multiple sessions over a single
+network connection" (quote from ssh_config(5)). This is also called "connection
+multiplexing".
+
+Cdist implements this since v4.0.0 by executing ssh with the appropriate
+options (`-o ControlMaster=auto  -o ControlPath=/tmp/<tmpdir>/s  -o
+ControlPersist=2h`).
+
+Note that the sshd_config on the server can configure the maximum number of
+parallel multiplexed connections this with `MaxSessions N` (N defaults to 10
+for OpenSSH v7.4).
+
+
+Speeding up shell execution
+----------------------------
+On the source host, ensure that /bin/sh is *not* bash: bash is quite slow for
+script execution. Instead, you could use dash after installing it::
+
+    ln -sf /bin/dash /bin/sh
+
+
+Multi master or environment setups
+----------------------------------
+If you plan to distribute cdist among servers or use different
+environments, you can do so easily with the included version
+control git. For instance if you plan to use the typical three
+environments production, integration and development, you can
+realise this with git branches::
+
+    # Go to cdist checkout
+    cd /path/to/cdist
+
+    # Create branches
+    git branch development
+    git branch integration
+    git branch production
+
+    # Make use of a branch, for instance production
+    git checkout production
+
+Similar if you want to have cdist checked out at multiple machines,
+you can clone it multiple times::
+
+    machine-a % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist
+    machine-b % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist
+
+
+Separating work by groups
+-------------------------
+If you are working with different groups on one cdist-configuration,
+you can delegate to other manifests and have the groups edit only
+their manifests. You can use the following snippet in
+**conf/manifests/init**::
+
+    # Include other groups
+    sh -e "$__manifest/systems"
+
+    sh -e "$__manifest/cbrg"
+
+
+Maintaining multiple configurations
+-----------------------------------
+When you need to manage multiple sites with cdist, like company_a, company_b
+and private for instance, you can easily use git for this purpose.
+Including a possible common base that is reused across the different sites::
+
+    # create branches
+    git branch company_a company_b common private
+
+    # make stuff for company a
+    git checkout company_a
+    # work, commit, etc.
+
+    # make stuff for company b
+    git checkout company_b
+    # work, commit, etc.
+
+    # make stuff relevant for all sites
+    git checkout common
+    # work, commit, etc.
+
+    # change to private and include latest common stuff
+    git checkout private
+    git merge common
+
+
+The following **.git/config** is taken from a real world scenario::
+
+    # Track upstream, merge from time to time
+    [remote "upstream"]
+       url = git://git.schottelius.org/cdist
+       fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
+
+    # Same as upstream, but works when being offline
+    [remote "local"]
+       fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/local/*
+       url = /home/users/nico/p/cdist
+
+    # Remote containing various ETH internal branches
+    [remote "eth"]
+       url = sans.ethz.ch:/home/services/sans/git/cdist-eth
+       fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/eth/*
+
+    # Public remote that contains my private changes to cdist upstream
+    [remote "nico"]
+       url = git.schottelius.org:/home/services/git/cdist-nico
+       fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/nico/*
+
+    # The "nico" branch will be synced with the remote nico, branch master
+    [branch "nico"]
+       remote = nico
+       merge = refs/heads/master
+
+    # ETH stable contains rock solid configurations used in various places
+    [branch "eth-stable"]
+       remote = eth
+       merge = refs/heads/stable
+
+Have a look at git-remote(1) to adjust the remote configuration, which allows
+
+
+Multiple developers with different trust
+----------------------------------------
+If you are working in an environment that requires different people to
+work on the same configuration, but having different privileges, you can
+implement this scenario with a gateway host and sudo:
+
+- Create a dedicated user (for instance **cdist**)
+- Setup the ssh-pubkey for this user that has the right to configure all hosts
+- Create a wrapper to update the cdist configuration in ~cdist/cdist
+- Allow every developer to execute this script via sudo as the user cdist
+- Allow run of cdist as user cdist on specific hosts on a per user/group basis.
+
+    - f.i. nico ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/cdist/bin/cdist config hostabc
+
+For more details consult sudoers(5)
+
+
+Templating
+----------
+* create directory files/ in your type (convention)
+* create the template as an executable file like files/basic.conf.sh, it will output text using shell variables for the values
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    #!/bin/sh
+    # in the template, use cat << eof (here document) to output the text
+    # and use standard shell variables in the template
+    # output everything in the template script to stdout
+    cat << EOF
+    server {
+      listen                          80;
+      server_name                     $SERVERNAME;
+      root                            $ROOT;
+
+      access_log /var/log/nginx/$SERVERNAME_access.log
+      error_log /var/log/nginx/$SERVERNAME_error.log
+    }
+    EOF
+
+* in the manifest, export the relevant variables and add the following lines to your manifest:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    # export variables needed for the template
+      export SERVERNAME='test"
+      export ROOT='/var/www/test'
+    # render the template
+      mkdir -p "$__object/files"
+      "$__type/files/basic.conf.sh" > "$__object/files/basic.conf"
+    # send the rendered template
+      __file /etc/nginx/sites-available/test.conf  \
+        --state present
+        --source "$__object/files/basic.conf"
+
+
+Testing a new type
+------------------
+If you want to test a new type on a node, you can tell cdist to only use an
+object of this type: Use the '--initial-manifest' parameter
+with - (stdin) as argument and feed object into stdin
+of cdist:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Singleton type without parameter
+    echo __ungleich_munin_server | cdist config --initial-manifest - munin.panter.ch
+
+    # Singleton type with parameter
+    echo __ungleich_munin_node --allow 1.2.3.4 | \
+        cdist config --initial-manifest - rails-19.panter.ch
+
+    # Normal type
+    echo __file /tmp/stdintest --mode 0644 | \
+        cdist config --initial-manifest - cdist-dev-01.ungleich.ch
+
+
+Other content in cdist repository
+---------------------------------
+Usually the cdist repository contains all configuration
+items. Sometimes you may have additional resources that
+you would like to store in your central configuration
+repository (like password files from KeepassX,
+Libreoffice diagrams, etc.).
+
+It is recommended to use a subfolder named "non-cdist"
+in the repository for such content: It allows you to
+easily distinguish what is used by cdist and what is not
+and also to store all important files in one
+repository.
+
+
+Notes on CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+-------------------------------
+With CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY all types are executed in the order in which they
+are created in the manifest. The current created object automatically depends
+on the previously created object.
+
+It essentially helps you to build up blocks of code that build upon each other
+(like first creating the directory xyz than the file below the directory).
+
+This can be helpful, but one must be aware of its side effects.
+
+
+CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY kills parallelization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Suppose you have defined CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY and then, among other things,
+you specify creation of three, by nature independent, files.
+
+**init**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+   export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+
+   ...
+   __file /tmp/file1
+   __file /tmp/file2
+   __file /tmp/file3
+   ...
+
+Due to defined CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY cdist will execute them in specified order.
+It is better to use CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY in well defined blocks:
+
+**init**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+   export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+   ...
+   unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+
+   __file /tmp/file1
+   __file /tmp/file2
+   __file /tmp/file3
+
+   CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+   export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+   ...
+   unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY

+Bootstrap
+=========
+This document describes the usual steps recommended for a new
+cdist setup. It is recommended that you have read and understood
+`cdist quickstart <cdist-quickstart.html>`_ before digging into this.
+
+
+Location
+---------
+First of all, you should think about where to store your configuration
+database and who will be accessing or changing it. Secondly you have to
+think about where to configure your hosts from, which may be a different
+location.
+
+For starters, having cdist (which includes the configuration database) on
+your notebook should be fine.
+Additionally an external copy of the git repository the configuration
+relies on is recommended, for use as backup as well as to allow easy collaboration
+with others.
+
+For more sophisticated setups developing cdist configurations with multiple
+people, have a look at `cdist best practice <cdist-best-practice.html>`_.
+
+
+Setup working directory and branch
+----------------------------------
+I assume you have a fresh copy of the cdist tree in ~/cdist, cloned from
+one of the official URLs (see `cdist quickstart <cdist-quickstart.html>`_ if you don't).
+Entering the command "git branch" should show you "* master", which indicates
+you are on the **master** branch.
+
+The master branch reflects the latest development of cdist. As this is the
+development branch, it may or may not work. There are also version branches 
+available, which are kept in a stable state. Let's use **git branch -r**
+to list all branches::
+
+    cdist% git branch -r
+      origin/1.0
+      origin/1.1
+      origin/1.2
+      origin/1.3
+      origin/1.4
+      origin/1.5
+      origin/1.6
+      origin/1.7
+      origin/2.0
+      origin/HEAD -> origin/master
+      origin/archive_shell_function_approach
+      origin/master
+
+So **2.0** is the latest version branch in this example.
+All versions (2.0.x) within one version branch (2.0) are compatible to each
+other and won't break your configuration when updating.
+
+It's up to you to decide which branch you want to base your own work on:
+master contains more recent changes, newer types, but may also break.
+The version branches are stable, but may lack the latest features.
+Your decision can be changed later on, but may result in merge conflicts,
+which you will need to solve.
+
+Let's assume you want latest stuff and select the master branch as base for
+your own work. Now it's time to create your branch, which contains your
+local changes. I usually name it by the company/area I am working for:
+ethz-systems, localch, customerX, ... But this is pretty much up to you.
+
+In this tutorial I use the branch **mycompany**::
+
+    cdist% git checkout -b mycompany origin/master 
+    Branch mycompany set up to track remote branch master from origin.
+    Switched to a new branch 'mycompany'
+    cdist-user% git branch
+      master
+    * mycompany
+
+From now on, you can use git as usual to commit your changes in your own branch.
+
+
+Publishing the configuration
+----------------------------
+Usually a development machine like a notebook should be considered
+temporary only. For this reason and to enable shareability, the configuration
+should be published to another device as early as possible. The following
+example shows how to publish the configuration to another host that is
+reachable via ssh and has git installed::
+
+    # Create bare git repository on the host named "loch"
+    cdist% ssh loch "GIT_DIR=/home/nutzer/cdist git init"
+    Initialized empty Git repository in /home/nutzer/cdist/
+
+    # Add remote git repo to git config
+    cdist% git remote add loch loch:/home/nutzer/cdist 
+
+    # Configure the mycompany branch to push to loch
+    cdist% git config branch.mycompany.remote loch
+
+    # Configure mycompany branch to push into remote master branch
+    cdist% git config branch.mycompany.merge refs/heads/master
+
+    # Push mycompany branch to remote branch master initially
+    cdist% git push loch mycompany:refs/heads/master
+
+Now you have setup the git repository to synchronise the **mycompany**
+branch with the **master** branch on the host **loch**. Thus you can commit
+as usual in your branch and push out changes by entering **git push**.
+
+
+Updating from origin
+--------------------
+Whenever you want to update your cdist installation, you can use git to do so::
+
+    # Update git repository with latest changes from origin
+    cdist% git fetch origin
+
+    # Update current branch with master branch from origin
+    cdist% git merge origin/master
+
+    # Alternative: Update current branch with 2.0 branch from origin
+    cdist% git merge origin/2.0

+Local cache overview
+====================
+
+Description
+-----------
+While executing, cdist stores data to local cache. Currently this feature is
+one way only. That means that cdist does not use stored data for future runs.
+Anyway, those data can be used for debugging cdist, debugging types and
+debugging after host configuration fails.
+
+Local cache is saved under $HOME/.cdist/cache directory, one directory entry
+for each host. Subdirectory path is specified by
+:strong:`-C/--cache-path-pattern` option, :strong:`cache_path_pattern`
+configuration option or by using :strong:`CDIST_CACHE_PATH_PATTERN`
+environment variable.
+
+For more info on cache path pattern see :strong:`CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT`
+section in cdist man page.
+
+
+Cache overview
+--------------
+As noted above each configured host has got its subdirectory in local cache.
+Entries in host's cache directory are as follows.
+
+bin
+  directory with cdist type emulators
+  
+conf
+  dynamically determined cdist conf directory, union of all specified
+  conf directories
+
+explorer
+  directory containing global explorer named files containing explorer output
+  after running on target host
+
+messages
+  file containing messages
+
+object
+  directory containing subdirectory for each cdist object
+
+object_marker
+  object marker for this particular cdist run
+
+stderr
+  directory containing init manifest and remote stderr stream output
+
+stdout
+  directory containing init manifest and remote stdout stream output
+
+target_host
+  file containing target host of this cdist run, as specified when running
+  cdist
+
+typeorder
+  file containing types in order of execution.
+
+
+Object cache overview
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Each object under :strong:`object` directory has its own structure.
+
+code-local
+    code generated from gencode-local, present only if something is
+    generated
+
+code-remote
+    code generated from gencode-remote, present only if something is
+    generated
+
+explorer
+    directory containing type explorer named files containing explorer output
+    after running on target host
+
+files
+    directory with object files created during type execution
+    
+parameter
+    directory containing type parameter named files containing parameter
+    values   
+
+source
+    this type's source (init manifest)
+
+state
+    this type execution state ('done' when finished)
+
+stderr
+  directory containing type's manifest, gencode-* and code-* stderr stream
+  outputs
+
+stdin
+    this type stdin content
+
+stdout
+  directory containing type's manifest, gencode-* and code-* stdout stream
+  outputs.

+Configuration
+=============
+
+Description
+-----------
+cdist obtains configuration data from the following sources in the following
+order:
+
+    #. command-line options
+    #. configuration file specified at command-line using -g command line option
+    #. configuration file specified in CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable
+    #. environment variables
+    #. user's configuration file (first one found of ~/.cdist.cfg, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg, in specified order)
+    #. in-distribution configuration file (cdist/conf/cdist.cfg)
+    #. system-wide configuration file (/etc/cdist.cfg)
+
+if one exists.
+
+Configuration source with lower ordering number from above has a higher
+precedence. Configuration option value read from source with higher
+precedence will overwrite option value, if exists, read from source with
+lower precedence. That means that command-line option wins them all.
+
+Users can decide on the local configuration file location. It can be either
+~/.cdist.cfg or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg. Note that, if both exist,
+then ~/.cdist.cfg is used.
+
+For a per-project configuration, particular environment variables or better,
+CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable or -g CONFIG_FILE command line option,
+can be used.
+
+Config file format
+------------------
+
+cdist configuration file is in the INI file format. Currently it supports
+only [GLOBAL] section.
+
+Here you can find configuration file skeleton:
+
+.. literalinclude:: cdist.cfg.skeleton
+    :language: ini

+Explorer
+========
+
+Description
+-----------
+Explorers are small shell scripts, which will be executed on the target
+host. The aim of each explorer is to give hints to types on how to act on the
+target system. An explorer outputs the result to stdout, which is usually
+a one liner, but may be empty or multi line especially in the case of
+type explorers.
+
+There are general explorers, which are run in an early stage, and
+type explorers. Both work almost exactly the same way, with the difference
+that the values of the general explorers are stored in a general location and
+the type specific below the object.
+
+Explorers can reuse other explorers on the target system by calling
+
+::
+
+    $__explorer/<explorer_name> (general and type explorer)
+
+or
+
+::
+
+    $__type_explorer/<explorer name> (type explorer).
+
+In case of significant errors, the explorer may exit non-zero and return an
+error message on stderr, which will cause cdist to abort.
+
+You can also use stderr for debugging purposes while developing a new
+explorer.
+
+Examples
+--------
+A very simple explorer may look like this::
+
+    hostname
+
+Which is in practise the **hostname** explorer.
+
+A type explorer, which could check for the status of a package may look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/name" ]; then
+       name="$(cat "$__object/parameter/name")"
+    else
+       name="$__object_id"
+    fi
+
+    # Expect dpkg failing, if package is not known / installed
+    dpkg -s "$name" 2>/dev/null || exit 0

+Features
+========
+
+But cdist ticks differently, here is the feature set that makes it unique:
+
+Simplicity
+    There is only one type to extend cdist called **type**
+
+Design
+    + Type and core cleanly separated
+    + Sticks completely to the KISS (keep it simple and stupid)  paradigm
+    + Meaningful error messages - do not lose time debugging error messages
+    + Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation
+    + No surprise factor: Only do what is obviously clear, no magic
+    + Define target state, do not focus on methods or scripts
+    + Push architecture: Instantly apply your changes
+
+Small core
+    cdist's core is very small - less code, less bugs
+
+Fast development
+    Focus on straightforwardness of type creation is a main development objective
+    Batteries included: A lot of requirements can be solved using standard types
+
+Modern Programming Language
+    cdist is written in Python
+
+Requirements, Scalability
+    No central server needed, cdist operates in push mode and can be run from any computer
+
+Requirements, Scalability, Upgrade
+    cdist only needs to be updated on the master, not on the target hosts
+
+Requirements, Security
+    Uses well-know `SSH <http://www.openssh.com/>`_ as transport protocol
+
+Requirements, Simplicity
+    Requires only shell and SSH server on the target

+Hacking
+=======
+
+Welcome
+-------
+Welcome dear hacker! I invite you to a tour of pointers to
+get into the usable configuration management system, cdist.
+
+The first thing to know is probably that cdist is brought to
+you by people who care about how code looks like and who think
+twice before merging or implementing a feature: Less features
+with good usability are far better than the opposite.
+
+
+Reporting bugs
+--------------
+If you believe you've found a bug and verified that it is
+in the latest version, drop a mail to the cdist mailing list,
+subject prefixed with "[BUG] " or create an issue on code.ungleich.ch.
+
+
+Coding conventions (everywhere)
+-------------------------------
+If something should be improved or needs to be fixed, add the word FIXME
+nearby, so grepping for FIXME gives all positions that need to be fixed.
+
+Indentation is 4 spaces (welcome to the python world).
+
+
+How to submit stuff for inclusion into upstream cdist
+-----------------------------------------------------
+If you did some cool changes to cdist, which you think might be of benefit to other
+cdist users, you're welcome to propose inclusion into upstream.
+
+There are some requirements to ensure your changes don't break other peoples
+work nor kill the authors brain:
+
+- All files should contain the usual header (Author, Copying, etc.)
+- Code submission must be done via git
+- Do not add cdist/conf/manifest/init - This file should only be touched in your
+  private branch!
+- Code to be included should be branched of the upstream "master" branch
+
+   - Exception: Bugfixes to a version branch
+
+- On a merge request, always name the branch I should pull from
+- Always ensure **all** manpages build. Use **./build man** to test.
+- If you developed more than **one** feature, consider submitting them in
+  separate branches. This way one feature can already be included, even if
+  the other needs to be improved.
+
+As soon as your work meets these requirements, write a mail
+for inclusion to the mailinglist **cdist-configuration-management at googlegroups.com**
+or open a merge request at https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist.
+
+
+How to submit a new type
+------------------------
+For detailed information about types, see `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
+
+Submitting a type works as described above, with the additional requirement
+that a corresponding manpage named man.rst in ReSTructured text format with
+the manpage-name "cdist-type__NAME" is included in the type directory
+AND the manpage builds (`make man`).
+
+Warning: Submitting "exec" or "run" types that simply echo their parameter in
+**gencode** will not be accepted, because they are of no use. Every type can output
+code and thus such a type introduces redundant functionality that is given by
+core cdist already.
+
+
+Example git workflow
+---------------------
+The following workflow works fine for most developers
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # get latest upstream master branch
+    git clone https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist.git
+
+    # update if already existing
+    cd cdist; git fetch -v; git merge origin/master
+
+    # create a new branch for your feature/bugfix
+    cd cdist # if you haven't done before
+    git checkout -b documentation_cleanup
+
+    # *hack*
+    *hack*
+
+    # clone the cdist repository on code.ungleich.ch if you haven't done so
+
+    # configure your repo to know about your clone (only once)
+    git remote add ungleich git@code.ungleich.ch:YOURUSERNAME/cdist.git
+
+    # push the new branch to ungleich gitlab
+    git push ungleich documentation_cleanup
+
+    # (or everything)
+    git push --mirror ungleich
+
+    # create a merge request at ungleich gitlab (use a browser)
+    # *fixthingsbecausequalityassurancefoundissuesinourpatch*
+    *hack*
+
+    # push code to ungleich gitlab again
+    git push ... # like above
+
+    # add comment that everything should be green now (use a browser)
+
+    # go back to master branch
+    git checkout master
+
+    # update master branch that includes your changes now
+    git fetch -v origin
+    git diff master..origin/master
+    git merge origin/master
+
+If at any point you want to go back to the original master branch, you can
+use **git stash** to stash your changes away::
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # assume you are on documentation_cleanup
+    git stash
+
+    # change to master and update to most recent upstream version
+    git checkout master
+    git fetch -v origin
+    git merge origin/master
+
+Similarly when you want to develop another new feature, you go back
+to the master branch and create another branch based on it::
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # change to master and update to most recent upstream version
+    git checkout master
+    git fetch -v origin
+    git merge origin/master
+
+    git checkout -b another_feature
+
+(you can repeat the code above for as many features as you want to develop
+in parallel)

+How to install cdist
+====================
+
+Requirements
+-------------
+
+Source Host
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is the machine from which you will configure target hosts.
+
+ * /bin/sh: A POSIX like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
+ * Python >= 3.5
+ * SSH client
+ * sphinx (for building html docs and/or the man pages)
+
+Target Hosts
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ * /bin/sh: A POSIX like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
+ * SSH server
+
+Install cdist
+-------------
+
+From git
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Cloning cdist from git gives you the advantage of having
+a version control in place for development of your own stuff
+immediately.
+
+To install cdist, execute the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    git clone https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist.git
+    cd cdist
+    export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin
+
+From version 4.2.0 cdist tags and releases are signed.
+You can get GPG public key used for signing `here <_static/pgp-key-EFD2AE4EC36B6901.asc>`_.
+It is assumed that you are familiar with *git* ways of signing and verification.
+
+You can also get cdist from `github mirror <https://github.com/ungleich/cdist>`_.
+
+To install cdist with distutils from cloned repository, first you have to
+create version.py:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    ./bin/cdist-build-helper version
+
+Then you install it with:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   make install
+
+or with:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   make install-user
+
+to install it into user *site-packages* directory.
+Or directly with distutils:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    python setup.py install
+
+Note that `bin/cdist-build-helper` script is intended for cdist maintainers.
+
+
+Available versions in git
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ * The active development takes place in the **master** branch
+ * The released versions can be found in the tags
+
+Other branches may be available for features or bugfixes, but they
+may vanish at any point. To select a specific branch use
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Generic code
+    git checkout -b <localbranchname> origin/<branchname>
+
+So for instance if you want to use and stay with version 4.1, you can use
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    git checkout -b 4.1 origin/4.1
+
+Building and using documentation (man and html)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you want to build and use the documentation, run:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    make docs
+
+Documentation comes in two formats, man pages and full HTML
+documentation. Documentation is built into distribution's
+docs/dist directory. man pages are in docs/dist/man and
+HTML documentation in docs/dist/html.
+
+If you want to use man pages, run:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/docs/dist/man
+
+Or you can move man pages from docs/dist/man directory to some
+other directory and add it to MANPATH.
+
+Full HTML documentation can be accessed at docs/dist/html/index.html.
+
+You can also build only man pages or only html documentation, for
+only man pages run:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    make man
+
+for only html documentation run:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    make html
+
+You can also build man pages for types in your ~/.cdist directory:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    make dotman
+
+Built man pages are now in docs/dist/man directory. If you have
+some other custom .cdist directory, e.g. /opt/cdist then use:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    make DOT_CDIST_PATH=/opt/cdist dotman
+
+Note that `dotman`-target has to be built before a `make docs`-run, otherwise
+the custom man-pages are not picked up.
+
+Python package
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Cdist is available as a python package at
+`PyPi <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdist/>`_. You can install it using
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    pip install cdist
+
+Installing from source with signature verification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you want to install cdist from signed source and verify it, first you need to
+download cdist archive and its detached signature.
+
+Get both, *cdist-x.y.z.tar.gz* and *cdist-x.y.z.tar.gz.asc* from release
+notes of the desired tag *x.y.z* at
+`cdist git repository <https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/-/tags>`_.
+
+Get GPG public key used for signing `here <_static/pgp-key-EFD2AE4EC36B6901.asc>`_
+and import it into GPG.
+
+Now cdist source archive can be verified using `gpg`, e.g. to verify `cdist-6.2.0`:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ gpg --verify cdist-6.2.0.tar.gz.asc cdist-6.2.0.targ.gz
+    gpg: Signature made Sat Nov 30 23:14:19 2019 CET
+    gpg:                using RSA key 69767822F3ECC3C349C1EFFFEFD2AE4EC36B6901
+    gpg: Good signature from "ungleich GmbH (ungleich FOSS) <foss@ungleich.ch>" [ultimate]
+
+Further steps are the same as for `installing from git <cdist-install.html#from-git>`_.

+cdist integration / using cdist as library
+==========================================
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+cdist can be integrate with other applications by importing cdist and other
+cdist modules and setting all by hand. There are also helper functions which
+aim to ease this integration. Just import **cdist.integration** and use its
+functions:
+
+* :strong:`cdist.integration.configure_hosts_simple` for configuration
+* :strong:`cdist.integration.install_hosts_simple` for installation.
+
+Functions require `host` and `manifest` parameters.
+`host` can be specified as a string representing host or as iterable
+of hosts. `manifest` is a path to initial manifest. For other cdist
+options default values will be used. `verbose` is a desired verbosity
+level which defaults to VERBOSE_INFO. `cdist_path` parameter specifies
+path to cdist executable, if it is `None` then functions will try to
+find it first from local lib directory and then in PATH.
+
+In case of cdist error :strong:`cdist.Error` exception is raised.
+
+:strong:`WARNING`: cdist integration helper functions are not yet stable!
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # configure host from python interactive shell

+Inventory
+=========
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+cdist comes with simple built-in tag based inventory. It is a simple inventory
+with list of hosts and a host has a list of tags.
+Inventory functionality is still in **beta** so it can be used only if beta
+command line flag is specified (-b, --beta) or setting CDIST_BETA env var.
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The idea is to have simple tagging inventory. There is a list of hosts and for
+each host there are tags. Inventory database is a set of files under inventory
+database base directory. Filename equals hostname. Each file contains tags for
+hostname with each tag on its own line.
+
+Using inventory you can now configure hosts by selecting them by tags.
+
+Tags have no values, as tags are just tags. Tag name-value would in this
+context mean that host has two tags and it is selected by specifying that both
+tags are present.
+
+This inventory is **KISS** cdist built-in inventory database. You can maintain it
+using cdist inventory interface or using standard UNIX tools.
+
+cdist inventory interface
+-------------------------
+
+With cdist inventory interface you can list host(s) and tag(s), add host(s),
+add tag(s), delete host(s) and delete tag(s).
+
+Configuring hosts using inventory
+---------------------------------
+
+config command now has new options, **-t**, **-a** and **-A**.
+
+**-A** means that all hosts in tag db is selected.
+
+**-a** means that selected hosts must contain ALL specified tags.
+
+**-t** means that host specifies tag - all hosts that have specified tags are
+selected.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # List inventory content
+    $ cdist inventory list -b
+
+    # List inventory for specified host localhost
+    $ cdist inventory list -b localhost
+
+    # List inventory for specified tag loadbalancer
+    $ cdist inventory list -b -t loadbalancer
+
+    # Add hosts to inventory
+    $ cdist inventory add-host -b web1 web2 web3
+
+    # Delete hosts from file old-hosts from inventory
+    $ cdist inventory del-host -b -f old-hosts
+
+    # Add tags to specified hosts
+    $ cdist inventory add-tag -b -t europe,croatia,web,static web1 web2
+
+    # Add tag to all hosts in inventory
+    $ cdist inventory add-tag -b -t vm
+
+    # Delete all tags from specified host
+    $ cdist inventory del-tag -b -a localhost
+
+    # Delete tags read from stdin from hosts specified by file hosts
+    $ cdist inventory del-tag -b -T - -f hosts
+
+    # Configure hosts from inventory with any of specified tags
+    $ cdist config -b -t web dynamic
+
+    # Configure hosts from inventory with all specified tags
+    $ cdist config -b -t -a web dynamic
+
+    # Configure all hosts from inventory db
+    $ cdist config -b -A

+Using external inventory
+------------------------
+
+cdist can be used with any external inventory where external inventory is
+some storage or database from which you can get a list of hosts to configure.
+cdist can then be fed with this list of hosts through stdin or file using
+**-f** option. For example, if your host list is stored in sqlite3 database
+hosts.db and you want to select hosts which purpose is **django** then you
+can use it with cdist like:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ sqlite3 hosts.db "select hostname from hosts where purpose = 'django';" | cdist config

+Manifest
+========
+
+Description
+-----------
+Manifests are used to define which objects to create.
+Objects are instances of **types**, like in object oriented programming languages.
+An object is represented by the combination of
+**type + slash + object name**: **\__file/etc/cdist-configured** is an
+object of the type **__file** with the name **etc/cdist-configured**.
+
+All available types can be found in the **cdist/conf/type/** directory,
+use **ls cdist/conf/type** to get the list of available types. If you have
+setup the MANPATH correctly, you can use **man cdist-reference** to access
+the reference with pointers to the manpages.
+
+
+Types in manifests are used like normal command line tools. Let's have a look
+at an example::
+
+    # Create object of type __package with the parameter state = absent
+    __package apache2 --state absent
+
+    # Same with the __directory type
+    __directory /tmp/cdist --state present
+
+These two lines create objects, which will later be used to realise the 
+configuration on the target host.
+
+Manifests are executed locally as a shell script using **/bin/sh -e**.
+The resulting objects are stored in an internal database.
+
+The same object can be redefined in multiple different manifests as long as
+the parameters are exactly the same.
+
+In general, manifests are used to define which types are used depending
+on given conditions.
+
+
+Initial and type manifests
+--------------------------
+Cdist knows about two types of manifests: The initial manifest and type
+manifests. The initial manifest is used to define, which configurations
+to apply to which hosts. The type manifests are used to create objects
+from types. More about manifests in types can be found in `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
+
+
+Define state in the initial manifest
+------------------------------------
+The **initial manifest** is the entry point for cdist to find out, which
+**objects** to configure on the selected host.
+Cdist expects the initial manifest at **cdist/conf/manifest/init**.
+
+Within this initial manifest you define which objects should be
+created on which host. To distinguish between hosts, you can use the
+environment variable **__target_host** and/or **__target_hostname** and/or
+**__target_fqdn**. Let's have a look at a simple example::
+
+    __cdistmarker
+
+    case "$__target_host" in
+       localhost)
+            __directory /home/services/kvm-vm --parents yes
+       ;;
+    esac
+
+This manifest says: Independent of the host, always use the type 
+**__cdistmarker**, which creates the file **/etc/cdist-configured**,
+with the timestamp as content.
+The directory **/home/services/kvm-vm**, including all parent directories, 
+is only created on the host **localhost**.
+
+As you can see, there is no magic involved, the manifest is simple shell code that
+utilises cdist types. Every available type can be executed like a normal 
+command.
+
+
+Splitting up the initial manifest
+---------------------------------
+If you want to split up your initial manifest, you can create other shell
+scripts in **cdist/conf/manifest/** and include them in **cdist/conf/manifest/init**.
+Cdist provides the environment variable **__manifest** to reference
+the directory containing the initial manifest (see `cdist reference <cdist-reference.html>`_).
+
+The following example would include every file with a **.sh** suffix::
+
+    # Include *.sh
+    for manifest in $__manifest/*.sh; do
+        # And source scripts into our shell environment
+        . "$manifest"
+    done
+
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+If you want to describe that something requires something else, just
+setup the variable "require" to contain the requirements. Multiple
+requirements can be added separated with (optionally consecutive)
+delimiters including space, tab and newline.
+
+::
+
+     1 # No dependency
+     2 __file /etc/cdist-configured
+     3 
+     4 # Require above object
+     5 require="__file/etc/cdist-configured" __link /tmp/cdist-testfile \
+     6    --source /etc/cdist-configured  --type symbolic
+     7 
+     8 # Require two objects
+     9 require="__file/etc/cdist-configured __link/tmp/cdist-testfile" \
+    10    __file /tmp/cdist-another-testfile
+
+
+Above the "require" variable is only set for the command that is 
+immediately following it. Dependencies should always be declared that way.
+
+On line 4 you can see that the instantiation of a type "\__link" object needs
+the object "__file/etc/cdist-configured" to be present, before it can proceed.
+
+This also means that the "\__link" command must make sure, that either
+"\__file/etc/cdist-configured" already is present, or, if it's not, it needs
+to be created. The task of cdist is to make sure, that the dependency will be
+resolved appropriately and thus "\__file/etc/cdist-configured" be created
+if necessary before "__link" proceeds (or to abort execution with an error).
+
+If you really need to make all types depend on a common dependency, you can
+export the "require" variable as well. But then, if you need to add extra
+dependencies to a specific type, you have to make sure that you append these
+to the globally already defined one.
+
+::
+
+    # First of all, update the package index
+    __package_update_index
+    # Upgrade all the installed packages afterwards
+    require="__package_update_index" __package_upgrade_all
+    # Create a common dependency for all the next types so that they get to
+    # be executed only after the package upgrade has finished
+    export require="__package_upgrade_all"
+
+    # Ensure that lighttpd is installed after we have upgraded all the packages
+    __package lighttpd --state present
+    # Ensure that munin is installed after lighttpd is present and after all
+    # the packages are upgraded
+    require="$require __package/lighttpd" __package munin --state present
+
+
+All objects that are created in a type manifest are automatically required
+from the type that is calling them. This is called "autorequirement" in
+cdist jargon.
+
+You can find a more in depth description of the flow execution of manifests
+in `cdist execution stages <cdist-stages.html>`_ and of how types work in `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
+
+
+Create dependencies from execution order
+-----------------------------------------
+You can tell cdist to execute all types in the order in which they are created 
+in the manifest by setting up the variable CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY.
+When cdist sees that this variable is setup, the current created object
+automatically depends on the previously created object.
+
+It essentially helps you to build up blocks of code that build upon each other
+(like first creating the directory xyz than the file below the directory).
+
+Read also about `notes on CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY <cdist-best-practice.html#notes-on-cdist-order-dependency>`_.
+
+In version 6.2.0 semantic CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is finally fixed and well defined.
+
+CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY defines type order dependency context. Order dependency context
+starts when CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is set, and ends when it is unset. After each
+manifest execution finishes, any existing order dependency context is automatically
+unset. This ensures that CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is valid within the manifest where it
+is used. When order dependency context is defined then cdist executes types in the
+order in which they are created in the manifest inside order dependency context.
+
+Sometimes the best way to see how something works is to see examples.
+
+Suppose you have defined **initial manifest**:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __cycle1 cycle1
+    export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+    __cycle2 cycle2
+    __cycle3 cycle3
+
+with types **__cycle1**:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+    __file /tmp/cycle11
+    __file /tmp/cycle12
+    __file /tmp/cycle13
+
+**__cycle2**:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __file /tmp/cycle21
+    export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+    __file /tmp/cycle22
+    __file /tmp/cycle23
+    unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+    __file /tmp/cycle24
+
+**__cycle3**:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __file /tmp/cycle31
+    __file /tmp/cycle32
+    export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+    __file /tmp/cycle33
+    __file /tmp/cycle34
+
+For the above config, cdist results in the following expected *dependency graph*
+(type *__cycleX* is shown as *cX*, *__file/tmp/cycleXY* is shown as *fcXY*):
+
+::
+
+    c1---->fc11
+    |      /\
+    |       |
+    +----->fc12
+    |      /\
+    |       |
+    +----->fc13
+
+    c2--+--->fc21
+    /\  |
+    |   |
+    |   +----->fc22
+    |   |      /\
+    |   |       |
+    |   +----->fc23
+    |   |
+    |   |
+    |   +----->fc24
+    |
+    |
+    c3---->fc31
+    |
+    |
+    +----->fc32
+    |
+    |
+    +----->fc33
+    |      /\
+    |       |
+    +----->fc34
+
+Before version 6.2.0 the above configuration would result in cycle:
+
+::
+
+    ERROR: 185.203.112.26: Cycle detected in object dependencies:
+    __file/tmp/cycle11 -> __cycle3/cycle3 -> __cycle2/cycle2 -> __cycle1/cycle1 -> __file/tmp/cycle11!
+
+The following manifest shows an example for order dependency contexts:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __file /tmp/fileA
+    export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+    __file /tmp/fileB
+    __file /tmp/fileC
+    __file /tmp/fileD
+    unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+    __file /tmp/fileE
+    __file /tmp/fileF
+    export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
+    __file /tmp/fileG
+    __file /tmp/fileH
+    unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+    __file /tmp/fileI
+
+This means:
+
+* C depends on B
+* D depends on C
+* H depends on G
+
+and there are no other dependencies from this manifest.
+
+
+Overrides
+---------
+In some special cases, you would like to create an already defined object 
+with different parameters. In normal situations this leads to an error in cdist.
+If you wish, you can setup the environment variable CDIST_OVERRIDE
+(any value or even empty is ok) to tell cdist, that this object override is 
+wanted and should be accepted.
+ATTENTION: Only use this feature if you are 100% sure in which order 
+cdist encounters the affected objects, otherwise this results
+in an undefined situation. 
+
+If CDIST_OVERRIDE and CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY are set for an object,
+CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY will be ignored, because adding a dependency in case of
+overrides would result in circular dependencies, which is an error.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+The initial manifest may for instance contain the following code:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Always create this file, so other sysadmins know cdist is used.
+    __file /etc/cdist-configured
+
+    case "$__target_host" in
+       my.server.name)
+          __directory /root/bin/
+          __file /etc/issue.net --source "$__manifest/issue.net
+       ;;
+    esac
+
+The manifest of the type "nologin" may look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __file /etc/nologin --source "$__type/files/default.nologin"
+
+This example makes use of dependencies:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Ensure that lighttpd is installed
+    __package lighttpd --state present
+    # Ensure that munin makes use of lighttpd instead of the default webserver
+    # package as decided by the package manager
+    require="__package/lighttpd" __package munin --state present
+
+How to override objects:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # for example in the initial manifest
+
+    # create user account foobar with some hash for password
+    __user foobar --password 'some_fancy_hash' --home /home/foobarexample
+
+    # ... many statements and includes in the manifest later ...
+    # somewhere in a conditionally sourced manifest
+    # (e.g. for example only sourced if a special application is on the target host)
+
+    # this leads to an error ...
+    __user foobar --password 'some_other_hash' 
+
+    # this tells cdist, that you know that this is an override and should be accepted
+    CDIST_OVERRIDE=yes __user foobar --password 'some_other_hash'
+    # it's only an override, means the parameter --home is not touched 
+    # and stays at the original value of /home/foobarexample
+
+Dependencies defined by execution order work as following:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Tells cdist to execute all types in the order in which they are created ...
+    export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=on
+    __sample_type 1
+    require="__some_type_somewhere/id" __sample_type 2
+    __example_type 23
+    # Now this types are executed in the creation order until the variable is unset
+    unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
+    # all now following types cdist makes the order ..
+    __not_in_order_type 42
+
+    # how it works :
+    # this lines above are translated to:
+    __sample_type 1
+    require="__some_type_somewhere/id __sample_type/1" __sample_type 2
+    require="__sample_type/2" __example_type 23
+    __not_in_order_type 42

+Messaging
+=========
+
+Description
+-----------
+cdist has a simple but powerful way of allowing communication between
+the initial manifest and types as well as types and types.
+
+Whenever execution is passed from cdist to one of the
+scripts described below, cdist generate 2 new temporary files
+and exports the environment variables **__messages_in** and
+**__messages_out** to point to them. 
+
+Before handing over the control, the content of the global message 
+file is copied into the file referenced by **$__messages_in**.
+
+After cdist gained control back, the content of the file referenced
+by **$__messages_out** is appended to the global message file.
+
+This way overwriting any of the two files by accident does not 
+interfere with other types.
+
+The order of execution is not defined unless you create dependencies 
+between the different objects (see `cdist manifest <cdist-manifest.html>`_) and thus you
+can only react reliably on messages by objects that you depend on.
+
+
+Availability
+------------
+Messaging is possible between all **local** scripts:
+
+- initial manifest
+- type/manifest
+- type/gencode-local
+- type/gencode-remote
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+When you want to emit a message use:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    echo "something" >> "$__messages_out"
+
+When you want to react on a message use:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    if grep -q "^__your_type/object/id:something" "$__messages_in"; then
+        echo "I do something else"
+    fi
+
+Some real life examples:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Reacting on changes from block for keepalive
+    if grep -q "^__block/keepalive-vrrp" "$__messages_in"; then
+        echo /etc/init.d/keepalived restart
+    fi
+
+    # Reacting on changes of configuration files
+    if grep -q "^__file/etc/one" $__messages_in; then
+        echo 'for init in /etc/init.d/opennebula*; do $init restart; done'
+    fi
+
+Restart sshd on changes
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    os="$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")"
+
+    case "$os" in
+        centos|redhat|suse)
+            restart="/etc/init.d/sshd restart"
+        ;;
+        debian|ubuntu)
+            restart="/etc/init.d/ssh restart"
+        ;;
+        *)
+            cat << eof >&2
+    Unsupported os $os.
+    If you would like to have this type running on $os,
+    you can either develop the changes and send a pull
+    request or ask for a quote at www.ungleich.ch
+    eof
+            exit 1
+        ;;
+    esac
+
+    if grep -q "^__key_value/PermitRootLogin" "$__messages_in"; then
+        echo $restart

+Parallelization
+===============
+
+Description
+-----------
+cdist has two modes of parallel operation.
+
+One of them is to operate on each host in separate process. This is enabled
+with :strong:`-p/--parallel` option.
+
+The other way is to operate in parallel within one host where you specify
+the number of jobs. This is enabled with :strong:`-j/--jobs` option where you
+can specify the number of parallel jobs. By default,
+:strong:`multiprocessing.cpu_count()` is used. For this mode global explorers,
+object preparation and object run are supported.
+
+You can, of course, use those two options together. This means that each host
+will be processed by its own process. Within each process cdist will operate
+using specified number of parallel jobs.
+
+For more info on those options see :strong:`cdist`\ (1).
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Configure hosts read from file hosts.file in parallel
+    $ cdist config -p -f hosts.file
+
+    # Configure hosts read from file hosts.file sequentially but using default
+    # number of parallel jobs
+    $ cdist config -j -f hosts.file
+
+    # Configure hosts read from file hosts.file in parallel using 16
+    # parallel jobs
+    $ cdist config -j 16 -p -f hosts.file
+
+
+Caveats
+-------
+When operating in parallel, either by operating in parallel for each host
+(-p/--parallel) or by parallel jobs within a host (-j/--jobs), and depending
+on target SSH server and its configuration you may encounter connection drops.
+This is controlled with sshd :strong:MaxStartups configuration options.
+You may also encounter session open refusal. This happens with ssh multiplexing
+when you reach maximum number of open sessions permitted per network 
+connection. In this case ssh will disable multiplexing.
+This limit is controlled with sshd :strong:MaxSessions configuration
+options. For more details refer to :strong:`sshd_config`\ (5).
+
+For example, if you reach :strong:`MaxSessions` sessions you may get the
+following output:

+PreOS
+=====
+
+Description
+-----------
+With cdist you can install and configure new machines. You can use cdist to
+create PreOS, minimal OS whose purpose is to boot a new machine.
+After PreOS is booted, the machine is ready for installing the desired OS and
+afterwards it is ready for configuration.
+
+PreOS creation
+--------------
+With cdist you can create PreOS.
+Currently supported PreOS-es include:
+
+* debian
+* ubuntu
+* devuan
+
+PreOS is created using the ``cdist preos`` command.
+This command has subcommands that determine the desired PreOS.
+
+For example, to create an ubuntu PreOS:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ cdist preos ubuntu /preos/preos-ubuntu -B -C \
+        -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -p /preos/pxe-ubuntu
+
+For more info about the available options see the cdist manual page.
+
+This will bootstrap (``-B``) ubuntu PreOS in the ``/preos/preos-ubuntu``
+directory, it will be configured (``-C``) using default the built-in initial
+manifest and with specified ssh authorized key (``-k``).
+After bootstrapping and configuration, the PXE boot directory will be
+created (``-p``) in ``/preos/pxe-ubuntu``.
+
+After PreOS is created, new machines can be booted using the created PXE
+(after proper dhcp and tftp settings).
+
+Since PreOS is configured with ssh authorized key it can be accessed through
+ssh, i.e. it can be further installed and configured with cdist.
+
+Implementing a new PreOS sub-command
+------------------------------------
+preos command is implemented as a plugin system. This plugin system scans for
+preos subcommands in the ``cdist/preos/`` distribution directory and also in
+``~/.cdist/preos/`` directory if it exists.
+
+preos subcommand is a module or a class that satisfies the following:
+
+* it has the attribute ``_cdist_preos`` set to ``True``
+* it defines a function/method ``commandline``.
+
+For a module-based preos subcommand, the ``commandline`` function accepts a
+module object as its first argument and the list of command line
+arguments (``sys.argv[2:]``).
+
+For a class-based preos subcommand ``commandline`` method should be
+static-method and must accept a class as its first argument and the
+list of command line arguments (``sys.argv[2:]``).
+
+If preos scanning finds a module/class that has ``_cdist_preos`` set
+to ``True`` and a function/method ``commandline`` then this module/class is
+registered to preos subcommands. The name of the command is set to ``_preos_name``
+attribute if defined in the module/class, defaulting to the module/class name in lowercase.
+When a registered preos subcommand is specified, ``commandline``
+will be called with the first argument set to module/class and the second
+argument set to ``sys.argv[2:]``.
+
+Example of writing new dummy preos sub-command
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Module-based preos:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+#. Create directory ``~/.cdist/preos/`` if it does not exist
+#. Create ``~/.cdist/preos/netbsd.py`` with the following contents:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    _preos_name = 'netbsd'
+    _cdist_preos = True
+
+    def commandline(cls, args):
+        print("NetBSD PreOS: {}".format(args))
+
+When you try to run this new preos you will get:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ cdist preos -L
+    Available PreOS-es:
+        - debian
+        - devuan
+        - netbsd
+        - ubuntu
+    $ cdist preos netbsd
+    NetBSD PreOS: []
+
+Class based preos:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+#. Create directory ``~/.cdist/preos/`` if it does not exist
+#. Create ``~/.cdist/preos/freebsd.py`` with the following contents:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class FreeBSD(object):
+        _cdist_preos = True
+
+        @classmethod
+        def commandline(cls, args):
+            print("FreeBSD dummy preos: {}".format(args))
+
+When you try to run this new preos you will get:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ cdist preos -h
+    Available PreOS-es:
+        - debian
+        - devuan
+        - freebsd
+        - ubuntu
+    $ cdist preos freebsd
+    FreeBSD dummy preos: []
+
+In the ``commandline`` function/method you have all the freedom to actually create
+a PreOS.

+Quickstart
+==========
+
+This tutorial is aimed at people learning cdist and shows
+typical approaches as well as gives an easy start into
+the world of configuration management.
+
+For those who just want to configure a system with the
+cdist configuration management and do not need (or want)
+to understand everything.
+
+This tutorial assumes you are configuring **localhost**, because
+it is always available. Just replace **localhost** with your target
+host for real life usage.
+
+Cdist uses **ssh** for communication and transportation
+and usually logs into the **target host** as the
+**root** user. So you need to configure the **ssh server**
+of the target host to allow root logins: Edit
+the file **/etc/ssh/sshd_config** and add one of the following
+lines::
+
+    # Allow login only via public key
+    PermitRootLogin without-password
+
+    # Allow login via password and public key
+    PermitRootLogin yes
+
+As cdist uses ssh intensively, it is recommended to setup authentication
+with public keys::
+
+    # Generate pubkey pair as a normal user
+    ssh-keygen
+
+    # Copy pubkey over to target host
+    ssh-copy-id root@localhost
+
+Have a look at ssh-agent(1) and ssh-add(1) on how to cache the password for
+your public key.  Usually it looks like this::
+
+    # Start agent and export variables
+    eval `ssh-agent`
+
+    # Add keys (requires password for every identity file)
+    ssh-add
+
+At this point you should be able to **ssh root@localhost** without
+re-entering the password. If something failed until here, ensure that
+all steps went successfully and you have read and understood the
+documentation.
+
+As soon as you are able to login without password to localhost,
+we can use cdist to configure it. You can copy and paste the following
+code into your shell to get started and configure localhost::
+
+    # Get cdist 
+    git clone git@code.ungleich.ch:ungleich-public/cdist.git
+
+    # Create manifest (maps configuration to host(s)
+    cd cdist
+    echo '__file /etc/cdist-configured' > cdist/conf/manifest/init
+
+    # Configure localhost in verbose mode
+    ./bin/cdist config -v localhost
+
+    # Find out that cdist created /etc/cdist-configured
+    ls -l /etc/cdist-configured
+
+Note: cdist/conf is configuration directory shipped with cdist distribution.
+If exists, ~/.cdist, is also automatically used as cdist configuration
+directory. So in the above example you could create ~/.cdist directory,
+then ~/.cdist/manifest sub-directory and create init manifest
+~/.cdist/manifest/init.
+
+That's it, you've successfully used cdist to configure your first host!
+Continue reading the next sections, to understand what you did and how
+to create a more sophisticated configuration.

+Dive into real world cdist
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This walkthrough shows real world cdist configuration example.
+
+Sample target host is named **test.ungleich.ch**.
+Just replace **test.ungleich.ch** with your target hostname.
+
+Our goal is to configure python application hosting. For writing sample
+application we will use `Bottle <http://bottlepy.org>`_ WSGI micro web-framework.
+It will use PostgreSQL database and it will list items from **items** table.
+It will be served by uWSGI server. We will also use the Nginx web server
+as a reverse proxy and we want HTTPS.
+For HTTPS we will use Let's Encrypt certificate.
+
+For setting up hosting we want to use cdist so we will write a new type
+for that. This type will:
+
+- install required packages
+- create OS user, user home directory and application home directory
+- create PostgreSQL database
+- configure uWSGI
+- configure Let's Encrypt certificate
+- configure nginx.
+
+Our type will not create the actual python application. Its intention is only
+to configure hosting for specified user and project. It is up to the user to
+create his/her applications.
+
+So let's start.
+
+Creating type layout
+--------------------
+
+We will create a new custom type. Let's call it **__sample_bottle_hosting**.
+
+Go to **~/.cdist/type** directory (create it if it does not exist) and create
+new type layout::
+
+    cd ~/.cdist/type
+    mkdir __sample_bottle_hosting
+    cd __sample_bottle_hosting
+    touch manifest gencode-remote
+    mkdir parameter
+    touch parameter/required
+
+Creating __sample_bottle_hosting type parameters
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Our type will be configurable through the means of parameters. Let's define
+the following parameters:
+
+projectname
+    name for the project, needed for uWSGI ini file
+
+user
+    user name
+
+domain
+    target host domain, needed for Let's Encrypt certificate.
+
+We define parameters to make our type reusable for different projects, user and domain.
+
+Define required parameters::
+
+    printf "projectname\n" >> parameter/required
+    printf "user\n" >> parameter/required
+    printf "domain\n" >> parameter/required
+
+For details on type parameters see `Defining parameters <cdist-type.html#defining-parameters>`_.
+
+Creating __sample_bottle_hosting type manifest
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Next step is to define manifest (~/.cdist/type/__sample_bottle_hosting/manifest).
+We also want our type to currently support only Devuan. So we will start by
+checking target host OS.  We will use `os <cdist-reference.html#explorers>`_
+global explorer::
+
+    os=$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")
+
+    case "$os" in
+        devuan)
+            :
+        ;;
+        *)
+            echo "OS $os currently not supported" >&2
+            exit 1
+        ;;
+    esac
+
+If target host OS is not Devuan then we print error message to stderr
+and exit. For other OS-es support we should check and change package names
+we should install, because packages differ in different OS-es and in different
+OS distributions like GNU/Linux distributions. There can also be a different
+configuration locations (e.g. nginx config directory could be in /usr/local tree).
+If we detected unsupported OS we should error out. cdist will stop configuration
+process and output error message.
+
+Creating user and user directories
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Then we create user and his/her home directory and application home directory.
+We will use existing cdist types `__user <man7/cdist-type__user.html>`_ and `__directory <man7/cdist-type__directory.html>`_::
+
+    user="$(cat "$__object/parameter/user")"
+    home="/home/$user"
+    apphome="$home/app"
+
+    # create user
+    __user "$user" --home "$home" --shell /bin/bash
+    # create user home dir
+    require="__user/$user" __directory "$home" \
+        --owner "$user" --group "$user" --mode 0755
+    # create app home dir
+    require="__user/$user __directory/$home" __directory "$apphome" \
+        --state present --owner "$user" --group "$user" --mode 0755
+
+First we define *user*, *home* and *apphome* variables. User is defined by type's
+**user** parameter. Here we use **require** which is cdist's way to define dependencies.
+User home directory should be created **after** user is created. And application
+home directory is created **after** both user and user home directory are created.
+For details on **require** see `Dependencies <cdist-manifest.html#dependencies>`_.
+
+Installing packages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Install required packages using existing `__package <man7/cdist-type__package.html>`_ type.
+Before installing package we want to update apt package index using
+`__apt_update_index <man7/cdist-type__apt_update_index.html>`_::
+
+    # define packages that need to be installed
+    packages_to_install="nginx uwsgi-plugin-python3 python3-dev python3-pip postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev python3-venv uwsgi python3-psycopg2"
+
+    # update package index
+    __apt_update_index
+    # install packages
+    for package in $packages_to_install
+        do require="__apt_update_index" __package $package --state=present
+    done
+
+Here we use shell for loop. It executes **require="__apt_update_index" __package**
+for each member in a list we define in **packages_to_install** variable.
+This is much nicer then having as many **require="__apt_update_index" __package**
+lines as there are packages we want to install.
+
+For python packages we use `__package_pip <man7/cdist-type__package_pip.html>`_::
+
+    # install pip3 packages
+    for package in bottle bottle-pgsql; do
+        __package_pip --pip pip3 $package
+    done
+
+Creating PostgreSQL database
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Create PostgreSQL database using `__postgres_database <man7/cdist-type__postgres_database.html>`_
+and `__postgres_role <man7/cdist-type__postgres_role.html>`_ for creating database user::
+
+    #PostgreSQL db & user
+    postgres_server=postgresql
+
+    # create PostgreSQL db user
+    require="__package/postgresql" __postgres_role $user --login --createdb
+    # create PostgreSQL db
+    require="__postgres_role/$user __package/postgresql" __postgres_database $user \
+        --owner $user
+
+Configuring uWSGI
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Configure uWSGI using `__file <man7/cdist-type__file.html>`_ type::
+
+    # configure uWSGI
+    projectname="$(cat "$__object/parameter/projectname")"
+    require="__package/uwsgi" __file /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/$user.ini \
+                --owner root --group root --mode 0644 \
+                --state present \
+                --source - << EOF
+    [uwsgi]
+    socket = $apphome/uwsgi.sock
+    chdir = $apphome
+    wsgi-file = $projectname/wsgi.py
+    touch-reload = $projectname/wsgi.py
+    processes = 4
+    threads = 2
+    chmod-socket = 666
+    daemonize=true
+    vacuum = true
+    uid = $user
+    gid = $user
+    EOF
+
+We require package uWSGI present in order to create **/etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/$user.ini** file.
+Installation of uWSGI also creates configuration layout: **/etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled**.
+If this directory does not exist then **__file** type would error.
+We also use stdin as file content source. For details see `Input from stdin <cdist-type.html#input-from-stdin>`_.
+For feeding stdin we use here-document (**<<** operator). It allows redirection of subsequent
+lines read by the shell to the input of a command until a line containing only the delimiter
+and a newline, with no blank characters in between (EOF in our case).
+
+Configuring nginx for Let's Encrypt and HTTPS redirection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Next configure nginx for Let's Encrypt and for HTTP -> HTTPS redirection. For this
+purpose we will create new type **__sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect**
+and use it here::
+
+    domain="$(cat "$__object/parameter/domain")"
+    webroot="/var/www/html"
+    __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect "$domain" --webroot "$webroot"
+
+Configuring certificate creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After HTTP nginx configuration we will create Let's Encrypt certificate using
+`__letsencrypt_cert <man7/cdist-type__letsencrypt_cert.html>`_ type.
+For Let's Encrypt cert configuration ensure that there is a DNS entry for your
+domain. We assure that cert creation is applied after nginx HTTP is configured
+for Let's Encrypt to work::
+
+    # create SSL cert
+    require="__package/nginx __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect/$domain" \
+        __letsencrypt_cert --admin-email admin@test.ungleich.ch \
+            --webroot "$webroot" \
+            --automatic-renewal \
+            --renew-hook "service nginx reload" \
+            --domain "$domain" \
+            "$domain"
+
+Configuring nginx HTTPS server with uWSGI upstream
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Then we can configure nginx HTTPS server that will use created Let's Encrypt certificate::
+
+    # configure nginx
+    require="__package/nginx __letsencrypt_cert/$domain" \
+        __file "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/https-$domain" \
+        --source - --mode 0644 << EOF
+    upstream _bottle {
+        server unix:$apphome/uwsgi.sock;
+    }
+
+    server {
+        listen 443;
+        listen [::]:443;
+
+        server_name $domain;
+
+        access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;
+
+        ssl on;
+        ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain/fullchain.pem;
+        ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain/privkey.pem;
+
+        client_max_body_size 256m;
+
+        location / {
+            try_files \$uri @uwsgi;
+        }
+
+        location @uwsgi {
+            include uwsgi_params;
+            uwsgi_pass _bottle;
+        }
+    }
+    EOF
+
+Now our manifest is finished.
+
+Complete __sample_bottle_hosting type manifest listing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Here is complete __sample_bottle_hosting type manifest listing,
+located in ~/.cdist/type/__sample_bottle_hosting/manifest::
+
+    #!/bin/sh
+
+    os=$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")

+
+    server {

+        listen [::]:443;
+
+        server_name $domain;

+
+        location @uwsgi {
+            include uwsgi_params;
+            uwsgi_pass _bottle;
+        }
+    }
+    EOF
+
+Creating __sample_bottle_hosting type gencode-remote
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Now define **gencode-remote** script: ~/.cdist/type/__sample_bottle_hosting/gencode-remote.
+After manifest is applied it should restart uWSGI and nginx services so that our
+configuration is active. Our gencode-remote looks like the following::
+
+    echo "service uwsgi restart"
+    echo "service nginx restart"
+
+Our **__sample_bottle_hosting** type is now finished.
+
+Creating __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect type
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Let's now create **__sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect** type::
+
+    cd ~/.cdist/type
+    mkdir __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect
+    cd __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect
+    mkdir parameter
+    echo webroot > parameter/required
+    touch manifest
+    touch gencode-remote
+
+Edit manifest::
+
+    domain="$__object_id"
+    webroot="$(cat "$__object/parameter/webroot")"
+    # make sure we have nginx package
+    __package nginx
+    # setup Let's Encrypt HTTP acme challenge, redirect HTTP to HTTPS
+    require="__package/nginx" __file "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/http-$domain" \
+        --source - --mode 0644 << EOF
+    server {
+        listen *:80;
+        listen [::]:80;
+
+        server_name $domain;
+
+        # Let's Encrypt
+        location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
+            root $webroot;
+        }
+
+        # Everything else -> SSL
+        location / {
+            return 301 https://\$host\$request_uri;
+        }
+    }
+
+    EOF
+
+Edit gencode-remote::
+
+    echo "service nginx reload"
+
+Creating init manifest
+----------------------
+
+Next create init manifest::
+
+    cd ~/.cdist/manifest
+    printf "__sample_bottle_hosting --projectname sample --user app --domain \$__target_host sample\n" > sample
+
+Using this init manifest our target host will be configured using our **__sample_bottle_hosting**
+type with projectname *sample*, user *app* and domain equal to **__target_host**.
+Here the last positional argument *sample* is type's object id. For details on
+**__target_host** and **__object_id** see
+`Environment variables (for reading) <cdist-reference.html#environment-variables-for-reading>`_
+reference.
+
+Configuring host
+----------------
+
+Finally configure test.ungleich.ch::
+
+    cdist config -v -i ~/.cdist/manifest/sample test.ungleich.ch
+
+After cdist configuration is successfully finished our host is ready.
+
+Creating python bottle application
+----------------------------------
+
+We now need to create Bottle application. As you remember from the beginning
+of this walkthrough our type does not create the actual python application,
+its intention is only to configure hosting for specified user and project.
+It is up to the user to create his/her applications.
+
+Become app user::
+
+    su -l app
+
+Preparing database
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We need to prepare database for our application. Create table and
+insert some items::
+
+    psql -c "create table items (item varchar(255));"
+
+    psql -c "insert into items(item) values('spam');"
+    psql -c "insert into items(item) values('eggs');"
+    psql -c "insert into items(item) values('sausage');"
+
+Creating application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Next create sample app::
+
+    cd /home/app/app
+    mkdir sample
+    cd sample
+
+Create app.py with the following content::
+
+    #!/usr/bin/env python3
+
+    import bottle
+    import bottle_pgsql
+
+    app = application = bottle.Bottle()
+    plugin = bottle_pgsql.Plugin('dbname=app user=app password=')
+    app.install(plugin)
+
+    @app.route('/')
+    def show_index(db):
+        db.execute('select * from items')
+        items = db.fetchall() or []
+        rv = '<html><body><h3>Items:</h3><ul>'
+        for item in items:
+            rv += '<li>' + str(item['item']) + '</li>'
+        rv += '</ul></body></html>'
+        return rv
+
+    if __name__ == '__main__':
+        bottle.run(app=app, host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)
+
+Create wsgi.py with the following content::
+
+    import os
+
+    os.chdir(os.path.dirname(__file__))
+
+    import app
+    application = app.app
+
+We have configured uWSGI with **touch-reload = $projectname/wsgi.py** so after
+we have changed our **wsgi.py** file uWSGI reloads the application.
+
+Our application selects and lists items from **items** table.
+
+Opening application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Finally try the application::
+
+    http://test.ungleich.ch/
+
+It should redirect to HTTPS and return:
+
+.. container:: highlight
+
+    .. raw:: html
+
+        <h3>Items:</h3>
+
+        <ul>
+            <li>spam</li>
+            <li>eggs</li>
+            <li>sausage</li>
+        </ul>
+
+What's next?

+Paths
+-----
+$HOME/.cdist
+    The standard cdist configuration directory relative to your home directory.
+    This is usually the place you want to store your site specific configuration.
+
+cdist/conf/
+    The distribution configuration directory.
+    This contains types and explorers to be used.
+
+cdist/inventory/
+    The distribution inventory directory.
+    This path is relative to cdist installation directory.
+
+cdist/preos/
+    The distribution PreOS plugins directory.
+
+confdir
+    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/.
+    For more details see cdist(1).
+
+confdir/files/
+    Cdist does not care about this directory besides providing access to it.
+    It is thought to be a general file storage area.
+
+confdir/manifest/init
+    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
+    for the specified target host.
+    Its intent is to used to define mapping from configurations to hosts.
+
+confdir/manifest/*
+    All other files in this directory are not directly used by cdist, but you
+    can separate configuration mappings, if you have a lot of code in the
+    conf/manifest/init file. This may also be helpful to have different admins
+    maintain different groups of hosts.
+
+confdir/explorer/<name>
+    Contains explorers to be run on the target hosts, see `cdist explorer <cdist-explorer.html>`_.
+
+confdir/type/
+    Contains all available types, which are used to provide
+    some kind of functionality. See `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
+
+confdir/type/<name>/
+    Home of the type <name>.
+    This directory is referenced by the variable __type (see below).
+
+confdir/type/<name>/man.rst
+    Manpage in reStructuredText format (required for inclusion into upstream).
+
+confdir/type/<name>/manifest
+    Used to generate additional objects from a type.
+
+confdir/type/<name>/gencode-local
+    Used to generate code to be executed on the source host.
+
+confdir/type/<name>/gencode-remote
+    Used to generate code to be executed on the target host.
+
+confdir/type/<name>/parameter/required
+    Parameters required by type, \n separated list.

+Objects
+-------
+For object to object communication and tests, the following paths are
+usable within a object directory:
+
+files
+    This directory is reserved for user data and will not be used
+    by cdist at any time. It can be used freely by the type
+    (for instance to store template results).
+changed
+    This empty file exists in an object directory, if the object has
+    code to be executed (either remote or local).
+stdin
+    This file exists and contains data, if data was provided on stdin
+    when the type was called.
+
+
+Environment variables (for reading)
+-----------------------------------
+The following environment variables are exported by cdist:
+
+__cdist_log_level, __cdist_log_level_name
+    cdist log level value and cdist log level name. One of:

+Remote exec and copy commands
+=============================
+
+Cdist interacts with the target host in two ways:
+
+- it executes code (__remote_exec)
+- and it copies files (__remote_copy)
+
+By default this is accomplished with ssh and scp respectively.
+The default implementations used by cdist are::
+
+    __remote_exec: ssh -o User=root
+    __remote_copy: scp -o User=root -q
+
+The user can override these defaults by providing custom implementations and
+passing them to cdist with the --remote-exec and/or --remote-copy arguments.
+
+For __remote_exec, the custom implementation must behave as if it where ssh.
+For __remote_copy, it must behave like scp.
+Please notice, custom implementations should work like ssh/scp so __remote_copy
+must support IPv6 addresses enclosed in square brackets. For __remote_exec you
+must take into account that for some options (like -L) IPv6 addresses can be
+specified by enclosed in square brackets (see :strong:`ssh`\ (1) and
+:strong:`scp`\ (1)).
+
+With this simple interface the user can take total control of how cdist
+interacts with the target when required, while the default implementation 
+remains as simple as possible.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Here are examples of using alternative __remote_copy and __remote_exec scripts.
+
+All scripts from below are present in cdist sources in `other/examples/remote`
+directory.

+Saving output streams
+=====================
+
+Description
+-----------
+Since version 4.8.0 cdist, by default, saves output streams to local cache.
+Saving output streams is implemented because important information was lost
+during a config run, hidden in all other output.
+Now all created output is bound to the context where it was produced.
+
+Saving output streams include stdout and stderr of init manifest, remote
+commands and for each object stdout and stderr of manifest, gencode-\* and code-\*.
+Output stream files are created only if some output is produced. For more info
+on these cache files see `Local cache overview <cdist-cache.html>`_.
+
+Also, in case of an error, cdist can now exit and show all information it has
+about the error.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ ./bin/cdist config -v -i ~/.cdist/manifest/init-output-streams $(cat ~/ungleich/data/opennebula-debian9-test )

+Execution stages
+================
+
+Description
+-----------
+When cdist is started, it passes through different stages.
+
+
+Stage 1: target information retrieval
+-------------------------------------
+In this stage information is collected about the target host using so called
+explorers. Every existing explorer is run on the target and the output of all 
+explorers are copied back into the local cache. The results can be used by 
+manifests and types.
+
+
+Stage 2: run the initial manifest
+---------------------------------
+The initial manifest, which should be used for mappings of hosts to types,
+is executed. This stage creates objects in a cconfig database that contains
+the objects as defined in the manifest for the specific host. In this stage,
+no conflicts may occur, i.e. no object of the same type with the same id may
+be created, if it has different parameters.
+
+
+Stage 3: object information retrieval
+-------------------------------------
+Every object is checked whether its type has explorers and if so, these are 
+executed on the target host. The results are transferred back
+and can be used in the following stages to decide what changes need to be made
+on the target to implement the desired state.
+
+
+Stage 4: run the object manifest
+--------------------------------
+Every object is checked whether its type has a executable manifest. The 
+manifest script may generate and change the created objects. In other words, 
+one type can reuse other types.
+
+For instance the object __apache/www.example.org is of type __apache, which may 
+contain a manifest script, which creates new objects of type __file.
+
+The newly created objects are merged back into the existing tree. No conflicts
+may occur during the merge. A conflict would mean that two different objects
+try to create the same object, which indicates a broken configuration.
+
+
+Stage 5: code generation
+------------------------
+In this stage for every created object its type is checked for executable 
+gencode scripts. The gencode scripts generate the code to be executed on the 
+target on stdout. If the gencode executables fail, they must print diagnostic 
+messages on stderr and exit non-zero.
+
+
+Stage 6: code execution
+-----------------------
+For every object the resulting code from the previous stage is transferred to
+the target host and executed there to apply the configuration changes.
+
+
+Stage 7: cache
+--------------
+The cache stores the information from the current run for later use.
+
+
+Summary
+-------
+If, and only if, all the stages complete without errors, the configuration
+will be applied to the target.

+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+Error in manifest is not considered an error by cdist
+-----------------------------------------------------
+Situation: You are executing other scripts from a manifest.
+This script fails, but cdist does not recognise the error.
+An example script would be something like this:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    % cat ~/.cdist/manifest/init
+    "$__manifest/special"
+    % cat ~/.cdist/manifest/special
+    #!/bin/sh
+    echo "Here is an unclean exiting script"
+    somecommandthatdoesnotexist
+    echo "I continue here although previous command failed"
+
+We can clearly see that **somecommandthatdoesnotexist**
+will fail in ~/.cdist/manifest/special. But as the custom
+script is not called with the -e flag (exit on failure) of shell, 
+it does not lead to an error. And thus cdist sees the exit 0
+code of the last echo line instead of the failing command.
+
+All scripts executed by cdist carry the -e flag. 
+To prevent the above from happening, there are three solutions available,
+two of which can be used in the calling script:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Execute as before, but abort on failure
+    sh -e "$__manifest/special"
+
+    # Source the script in our namespace, runs in a set -e environment:
+    . "$__manifest/special"
+
+The third solution is to include a shebang header in every script
+you write to use the -e flag:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    % cat ~/.cdist/manifest/special
+    #!/bin/sh -e
+    ...
+
+Using debug dump helper script
+------------------------------
+Since cdist stores data to local cache that can be used for debugging there
+is a helper script that dumps data from local cache,
+`cdist-dump <man1/cdist-dump.html>`_.
+
+For more info see:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    cdist-dump -h
+
+Or from cdist git cloned directory:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    ./scripts/cdist-dump -h

+cdist type
+==========
+
+Description
+-----------
+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.
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __TYPE ID --parameter value [--parameter value ...]
+    __TYPE --parameter value [--parameter value ...] (for singletons)
+
+
+How to use a type
+-----------------
+
+You can use types from the initial manifest or the type manifest like a
+normal shell command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Creates empty file /etc/cdist-configured
+    __file /etc/cdist-configured --type file
+
+    # Ensure tree is installed
+    __package tree --state installed
+
+A list of supported types can be found in the `cdist reference <cdist-reference.html>`_ manpage.
+
+
+Singleton types
+---------------
+If a type is flagged as a singleton, it may be used only
+once per host. This is useful for types which can be used only once on a
+system. Singleton types do not take an object name as argument.
+
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # __issue type manages /etc/issue
+    __issue
+
+    # Probably your own type - singletons may use parameters
+    __myfancysingleton --colour green
+
+
+Config types
+------------
+By default types are used with config command. These are types that are not
+flagged by any known command flag. If a type is marked then it will be skipped
+with config command.
+
+
+Install types
+-------------
+If a type is flagged with 'install' flag then it is used only with install command.
+With other commands, i.e. config, these types are skipped if used.
+
+
+Nonparallel types
+-----------------
+If a type is flagged with 'nonparallel' flag then its objects cannot be run in parallel
+when using -j option. Example of such a type is __package_dpkg type where dpkg itself
+prevents to be run in more than one instance.
+
+
+Deprecated types
+-----------------
+If a type is flagged with 'deprecated' marker then it is considered deprecated.
+When it is used cdist writes warning line. If 'deprecated' marker has content
+then this content is printed as a deprecation messages, e.g.:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ ls -l deprecated 
+    -rw-r--r--  1 darko  darko  71 May 20 18:30 deprecated
+    $ cat deprecated 
+    This type is deprecated. It will be removed in the next minor release.
+    $ echo '__foo foo' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
+    WARNING: 185.203.112.26: Type __foo is deprecated: This type is deprecated. It will be removed in the next minor release.
+
+If 'deprecated' marker has no content then general message is printed, e.g.:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ ls -l deprecated 
+    -rw-r--r--  1 darko  darko  0 May 20 18:36 deprecated
+    $ echo '__bar foo' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
+    WARNING: 185.203.112.26: Type __bar is deprecated.
+
+
+How to write a new type
+-----------------------
+A type consists of
+
+- parameter    (optional)
+- manifest     (optional)
+- singleton    (optional)
+- explorer     (optional)
+- gencode      (optional)
+- nonparallel  (optional)
+
+Types are stored below cdist/conf/type/. Their name should always be prefixed with
+two underscores (__) to prevent collisions with other executables in $PATH.
+
+To implement a new type, create the directory **cdist/conf/type/__NAME**.
+
+Type manifest and gencode can be written in any language. They just need to be
+executable and have a proper shebang. If they are not executable then cdist assumes
+they are written in shell so they are executed using '/bin/sh -e' or 'CDIST_LOCAL_SHELL'.
+
+For executable shell code it is suggested that shebang is '#!/bin/sh -e'.
+
+For creating type skeleton you can use helper script
+`cdist-new-type <man1/cdist-new-type.html>`_.
+
+
+Defining parameters
+-------------------
+Every type consists of required, optional and boolean parameters, which must
+each be declared in a newline separated file in **parameter/required**,
+**parameter/required_multiple**, **parameter/optional**, 
+**parameter/optional_multiple** and **parameter/boolean**.
+Parameters which are allowed multiple times should be listed in
+required_multiple or optional_multiple respectively. All other parameters
+follow the standard unix behaviour "the last given wins".
+If either is missing, the type will have no required, no optional, no boolean
+or no parameters at all. 
+
+Default values for optional parameters can be predefined in
+**parameter/default/<name>**.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    echo servername >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/required
+    echo logdirectory >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional
+    echo loglevel >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional
+    mkdir cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/default
+    echo warning > cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/default/loglevel
+    echo server_alias >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional_multiple
+    echo use_ssl >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/boolean
+
+
+Using parameters
+----------------
+The parameters given to a type can be accessed and used in all type scripts
+(e.g manifest, gencode, explorer). Note that boolean parameters are
+represented by file existence. File exists -> True,
+file does not exist -> False
+
+Example: (e.g. in cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/manifest)
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # required parameter
+    servername="$(cat "$__object/parameter/servername")"
+
+    # optional parameter
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/logdirectory" ]; then
+       logdirectory="$(cat "$__object/parameter/logdirectory")"
+    fi
+
+    # optional parameter with predefined default
+    loglevel="$(cat "$__object/parameter/loglevel")"
+
+    # boolean parameter
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/use_ssl" ]; then
+       # file exists -> True
+       # do some fancy ssl stuff
+    fi
+
+    # parameter with multiple values
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/server_alias" ]; then
+       for alias in $(cat "$__object/parameter/server_alias"); do
+          echo $alias > /some/where/useful
+       done
+    fi
+
+
+Deprecated parameters
+---------------------
+To deprecate type parameters one can declare a file for each deprecated
+parameter under **parameter/deprecated** directory.
+
+When such parameter is used cdist writes warning line with deprecation message.
+If such file has content then this content is printed as deprecation message.
+If there is no content then generic parameter deprecation message is printed.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ ls parameter/deprecated/
+    eggs    spam
+    $ cat parameter/deprecated/eggs
+    eggs parameter is deprecated, please use multiple egg parameter.
+    $ cat parameter/deprecated/spam
+    $ echo '__foo foo --foo foo --eggs eggs' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
+    WARNING: 185.203.112.26: eggs parameter of type __foo is deprecated: eggs parameter is deprecated, please use multiple egg parameter.
+    $ echo '__foo foo --foo foo --eggs eggs --spam spam' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
+    WARNING: 185.203.112.26: spam parameter of type __foo is deprecated.
+    WARNING: 185.203.112.26: eggs parameter of type __foo is deprecated: eggs parameter is deprecated, please use multiple egg parameter.
+
+
+Input from stdin
+----------------
+Every type can access what has been written on stdin when it has been called.
+The result is saved into the **stdin** file in the object directory.
+
+Example use of a type: (e.g. in cdist/conf/type/__archlinux_hostname)
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __file /etc/rc.conf --source - << eof
+    ...
+    HOSTNAME="$__target_host"
+    ...
+    eof
+
+If you have not seen this syntax (<< eof) before, it may help you to read
+about "here documents".
+
+In the __file type, stdin is used as source for the file, if - is used for source:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/source" ]; then
+        source="$(cat "$__object/parameter/source")"
+        if [ "$source" = "-" ]; then
+            source="$__object/stdin"
+        fi  
+    ....
+
+
+Stdin inside a loop
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Since cdist saves type's stdin content in the object as **$__object/stdin**,
+so it can be accessed in manifest and gencode-* scripts, this can lead to
+unexpected behavior. For example, suppose you have some type with the following
+in its manifest:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/foo" ]
+    then
+        while read -r l
+        do
+            __file "$l"
+            echo "$l" >&2
+        done < "$__object/parameter/foo"
+    fi
+
+and init manifest:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __foo foo --foo a --foo b --foo c
+
+You expect that manifest stderr content is:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    a
+    b
+    c
+
+and that files *a*, *b* and *c* are created. But all you get in manifest stderr
+is:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    a
+
+and only *a* file is created.
+
+When redirecting parameter *foo* file content to while's stdin that means that all
+commands in while body have this same stdin. So when *__file* type gets executed,
+cdist saves its stdin which means it gets the remaining content of parameter *foo*
+file, i.e.:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    b
+    c
+
+The solution is to make sure that your types inside such loops get their stdin
+from somewhere else, e.g. for the above problem *__file* type can get empty
+stdin from */dev/null*:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/foo" ]
+    then
+        while read -r l
+        do
+            __file "$l" < /dev/null
+            echo "$l" >&2
+        done < "$__object/parameter/foo"
+    fi
+
+
+Writing the manifest
+--------------------
+In the manifest of a type you can use other types, so your type extends
+their functionality. A good example is the __package type, which in
+a shortened version looks like this:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    os="$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")"
+    case "$os" in
+          archlinux) type="pacman" ;;
+          debian|ubuntu) type="apt" ;;
+          gentoo) type="emerge" ;;
+          *)
+             echo "Don't know how to manage packages on: $os" >&2
+             exit 1
+          ;;
+    esac
+
+    __package_$type "$@"
+
+As you can see, the type can reference different environment variables,
+which are documented in `cdist reference <cdist-reference.html>`_.
+
+Always ensure the manifest is executable, otherwise cdist will not be able
+to execute it. For more information about manifests see `cdist manifest <cdist-manifest.html>`_.
+
+
+Singleton - one instance only
+-----------------------------
+If you want to ensure that a type can only be used once per target, you can
+mark it as a singleton: Just create the (empty) file "singleton" in your type
+directory:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    touch cdist/conf/type/__NAME/singleton
+
+This will also change the way your type must be called:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __YOURTYPE --parameter value
+
+As you can see, the object ID is omitted, because it does not make any sense,
+if your type can be used only once.
+
+
+Install - type with install command
+-----------------------------------
+If you want a type to be used with install command, you must mark it as
+install: create the (empty) file "install" in your type directory:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    touch cdist/conf/type/__install_NAME/install
+
+With other commands, i.e. config, it will be skipped if used.
+
+
+Nonparallel - only one instance can be run at a time
+----------------------------------------------------
+If objects of a type must not or cannot be run in parallel when using -j
+option, you must mark it as nonparallel: create the (empty) file "nonparallel"
+in your type directory:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    touch cdist/conf/type/__NAME/nonparallel
+
+For example, package types are nonparallel types.
+
+
+The type explorers
+------------------
+If a type needs to explore specific details, it can provide type specific
+explorers, which will be executed on the target for every created object.
+
+The explorers are stored under the "explorer" directory below the type.
+It could for instance contain code to check the md5sum of a file on the
+client, like this (shortened version from the type __file):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/destination" ]; then
+       destination="$(cat "$__object/parameter/destination")"
+    else
+       destination="/$__object_id"
+    fi
+
+    if [ -e "$destination" ]; then
+       md5sum < "$destination"
+    fi
+
+
+Writing the gencode script
+--------------------------
+There are two gencode scripts: **gencode-local** and **gencode-remote**.
+The output of gencode-local is executed locally, whereas
+the output of gencode-remote is executed on the target.
+The gencode scripts can make use of the parameters, the global explorers
+and the type specific explorers.
+
+If the gencode scripts encounters an error, it should print diagnostic
+messages to stderr and exit non-zero. If you need to debug the gencode
+script, you can write to stderr:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Debug output to stderr
+    echo "My fancy debug line" >&2
+
+    # Output to be saved by cdist for execution on the target
+    echo "touch /etc/cdist-configured"
+
+Notice: if you use __remote_copy or __remote_exec directly in your scripts
+then for IPv6 address with __remote_copy execution you should enclose IPv6
+address in square brackets. The same applies to __remote_exec if it behaves
+the same as ssh for some options where colon is a delimiter, as for -L ssh
+option (see :strong:`ssh`\ (1) and :strong:`scp`\ (1)).
+
+
+Variable access from the generated scripts
+------------------------------------------
+In the generated scripts, you have access to the following cdist variables
+
+- __object
+- __object_id
+
+but only for read operations, means there is no back copy of this
+files after the script execution.
+
+So when you generate a script with the following content, it will work:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/name" ]; then
+       name="$(cat "$__object/parameter/name")"
+    else
+       name="$__object_id"
+    fi
+
+
+Environment variable usage idiom
+--------------------------------
+In type scripts you can support environment variables with default values if
+environment variable is unset or null by using **${parameter:-[word]}**
+parameter expansion.
+
+Example using mktemp in a portable way that supports TMPDIR environment variable.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    tempfile=$(mktemp "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/cdist.XXXXXXXXXX")
+
+
+Log level in types
+------------------
+cdist log level can be accessed from __cdist_log_level variable.One of:
+
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+    | Log level      | Log level value |
+    +================+=================+
+    | OFF            | 60              |
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+    | ERROR          | 40              |
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+    | WARNING        | 30              |
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+    | INFO           | 20              |
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+    | VERBOSE        | 15              |
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+    | DEBUG          | 10              |
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+    | TRACE          | 5               |
+    +----------------+-----------------+
+
+
+It is available for initial manifest, explorer, type manifest,
+type explorer, type gencode.
+
+
+Detecting dry run
+-----------------
+
+If ``$__cdist_dry_run`` environment variable is set, then it's dry run.
+
+It is available for initial manifest, explorer, type manifest,
+type explorer, type gencode.
+
+
+Hints for typewriters
+----------------------
+It must be assumed that the target is pretty dumb and thus does not have high
+level tools like ruby installed. If a type requires specific tools to be present
+on the target, there must be another type that provides this tool and the first
+type should create an object of the specific type.
+
+If your type wants to save temporary data, that may be used by other types
+later on (for instance \__file), you can save them in the subdirectory
+"files" below $__object (but you must create it yourself).
+cdist will not touch this directory.
+
+If your type contains static files, it's also recommended to place them in
+a folder named "files" within the type (again, because cdist guarantees to
+never ever touch this folder).
+
+
+How to include a type into upstream cdist
+-----------------------------------------
+If you think your type may be useful for others, ensure it works with the
+current master branch of cdist and have a look at `cdist hacking <cdist-hacker.html>`_ on
+how to submit it.

+How to upgrade cdist
+====================
+
+Update the git installation
+---------------------------
+
+To upgrade cdist in the current branch use
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    git pull
+
+    # Also update the manpages
+    make man
+    export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/doc/man
+
+If you stay on a version branch (i.e. 1.0, 1.1., ...), nothing should break.
+The master branch on the other hand is the development branch and may not be
+working, break your setup or eat the tree in your garden.
+
+Safely upgrading to new versions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To upgrade to **any** further cdist version, you can take the
+following procedure to do a safe upgrade:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Create new branch to try out the update
+    git checkout -b upgrade_cdist
+
+    # Get latest cdist version in git database
+    git fetch -v
+
+    # see what will happen on merge - replace
+    # master with the branch you plan to merge
+    git diff upgrade_cdist..origin/master
+
+    # Merge the new version
+    git merge origin/master
+
+Now you can ensure all custom types work with the new version.
+Assume that you need to go back to an older version during
+the migration/update, you can do so as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # commit changes
+    git commit -m ...
+
+    # go back to original branch
+    git checkout master
+
+After that, you can go back and continue the upgrade:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # git checkout upgrade_cdist
+
+
+Update the python package
+-------------------------
+
+To upgrade to the latest version do
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    pip install --upgrade cdist
+
+General update instructions
+---------------------------
+
+Updating from 3.0 to 3.1
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The type **\_\_ssh_authorized_keys** now also manages existing keys, 
+not only the ones added by cdist.
+
+Updating from 2.3 to 3.0
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The **changed** attribute of objects has been removed.
+Use `messaging </software/cdist/man/3.0.0/man7/cdist-messaging.html>`_ instead.
+
+Updating from 2.2 to 2.3
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+No incompatibilities.
+
+Updating from 2.1 to 2.2
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Starting with 2.2, the syntax for requiring a singleton type changed:
+Old format:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    require="__singleton_type/singleton" ...
+
+New format:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    require="__singleton_type" ...
+
+Internally the "singleton" object id was dropped to make life more easy.
+You can probably fix your configuration by running the following code
+snippet (currently untested, please report back if it works for you):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    find ~/.cdist/* -type f -exec sed -i 's,/singleton,,' {} \;
+
+Updating from 2.0 to 2.1
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ 
+Have a look at the update guide for [[2.0 to 2.1|2.0-to-2.1]].
+
+ * Type **\_\_package* and \_\_process** use --state **present** or **absent**.
+   The states **removed/installed** and **stopped/running** have been removed.
+   Support for the new states is already present in 2.0.
+ * Type **\_\_directory**: Parameter --parents and --recursive are now boolean
+   The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
+ * Type **\_\_rvm_ruby**: Parameter --default is now boolean
+   The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
+ * Type **\_\_rvm_gemset**: Parameter --default is now boolean
+   The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
+ * Type **\_\_addifnosuchline** and **\_\_removeline** have been replaced by **\_\_line**
+ * The **conf** directory is now located at **cdist/conf**.
+   You need to migrate your types, explorers and manifests
+   manually to the new location.
+ * Replace the variable **\_\_self** by **\_\_object_name**
+   Support for the variable **\_\_object_name** is already present in 2.0.
+ * The types **\_\_autofs**, **\_\_autofs_map** and **\_\_autofs_reload** have been removed
+   (no maintainer, no users)
+ * Type **\_\_user**: Parameter --groups removed (use the new \_\_user_groups type)
+ * Type **\_\_ssh_authorized_key** has been replaced by more flexible type 
+    **\_\_ssh_authorized_keys**
+
+Updating from 1.7 to 2.0
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Ensure python (>= 3.2) is installed on the source host
+* Use "cdist config host" instead of "cdist-deploy-to host"
+* Use "cdist config -p host1 host2" instead of "cdist-mass-deploy"
+* Use "cdist banner" for fun
+* Use **\_\_object_name** instead of **\_\_self** in manifests
+
+Updating from 1.6 to 1.7
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* If you used the global explorer **hardware_type**, you need to change
+  your code to use **machine** instead.
+
+Updating from 1.5 to 1.6
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* If you used **\_\_package_apt --preseed**, you need to use the new
+  type **\_\_debconf_set_selections** instead.
+* The **\_\_package** types accepted either --state deinstalled or
+  --state uninstalled. Starting with 1.6, it was made consistently
+  to --state removed.
+
+Updating from 1.3 to 1.5
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+No incompatibilities.
+
+Updating from 1.2 to 1.3
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Rename **gencode** of every type to **gencode-remote**.
+
+Updating from 1.1 to 1.2
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+No incompatibilities.
+
+Updating from 1.0 to 1.1
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In 1.1 the type **\_\_file** was split into **\_\_directory**, **\_\_file** and
+**\_\_link**. The parameter **--type** was removed from **\_\_file**. Thus you
+need to replace **\_\_file** calls in your manifests:
+
+ * Remove --type from all \_\_file calls
+ * If type was symlink, use \_\_link and --type symbolic
+ * If type was directory, use \_\_directory

+Why should I use cdist?
+=======================
+
+There are several motivations to use cdist, these
+are probably the most popular ones.
+
+Known language
+--------------
+
+Cdist is being configured in
+`shell script <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script>`_.
+Shell script is used by UNIX system engineers for decades.
+So when cdist is introduced, your staff does not need to learn a new
+`DSL <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language>`_
+or programming language.
+
+Powerful language
+-----------------
+
+Not only is shell scripting widely known by system engineers,
+but it is also a very powerful language. Here are some features
+which make daily work easy:
+
+ * Configuration can react dynamically on explored values
+ * High level string manipulation (using sed, awk, grep)
+ * Conditional support (**if, case**)
+ * Loop support (**for, while**)
+ * Support for dependencies between cdist types
+
+More than shell scripting
+-------------------------
+
+If you compare regular shell scripting with cdist, there is one major
+difference: When using cdist types,
+the results are
+`idempotent <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence>`_.
+In practise that means it does not matter in which order you
+call cdist types, the result is always the same.
+
+Zero dependency configuration management
+----------------------------------------
+
+Cdist requires very little on a target system. Even better,
+in almost all cases all dependencies are usually fulfilled.
+Cdist does not require an agent or high level programming
+languages on the target host: it will run on any host that
+has a **ssh server running** and a POSIX compatible shell
+(**/bin/sh**). Compared to other configuration management systems,
+it does not require to open up an additional port.
+
+Push based distribution
+-----------------------
+
+Cdist uses the push based model for configuration. In this
+scenario, one (or more) computers connect to the target hosts
+and apply the configuration. That way the source host has
+very little requirements: Cdist can even run on a sysadmin
+notebook that is loosely connected to the network and has
+limited amount of resources.
+
+Furthermore, from a security point of view, only one machine
+needs access to the target hosts. No target hosts will ever
+need to connect back to the source host, which contains the
+full configuration.
+
+Highly scalable
+---------------
+
+If at some point you manage more hosts than can be handled from
+a single source host, you can simply add more resources: Either
+add more cores to one host or add hosts.
+Cdist will utilise the given resources in parallel.

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+cdist is the frontend executable to the cdist configuration management.
+It supports different subcommands as explained below.
+
+It is written in Python so it requires :strong:`python`\ (1) to be installed.
+It requires a minimal Python version 3.5.
+
+GENERAL
+-------
+All commands accept the following options:
+
+**-h, --help**
+    Show the help screen.
+
+**--colors WHEN**
+    Colorize cdist's output. If enabled, cdist will use different colors for
+    different log levels.
+    WHEN recognizes the values 'always', 'never', and 'auto' (the default).
+
+    If the value is 'auto', colored output is enabled if stdout is a TTY
+    unless the NO_COLOR (https://no-color.org/) environment variable is defined.
+
+**-l LOGLEVEL, --log-level LOGLEVEL**
+    Set the specified verbosity level. The levels, in
+    order from the lowest to the highest, are: ERROR (-1),
+    WARNING (0), INFO (1), VERBOSE (2), DEBUG (3), TRACE (4
+    or higher). If used along with -v then -v increases
+    last set value and -l overwrites last set value.
+
+**-q, --quiet**
+    Quiet mode: disables logging, including WARNING and ERROR.
+
+**-v, --verbose**
+    Increase the verbosity level. Every instance of -v
+    increments the verbosity level by one. Its default
+    value is 0 which includes ERROR and WARNING levels.
+    The levels, in order from the lowest to the highest,
+    are: ERROR (-1), WARNING (0), INFO (1), VERBOSE (2),
+    DEBUG (3), TRACE (4 or higher). If used along with -l
+    then -l overwrites last set value and -v increases
+    last set value.
+
+**-V, --version**
+   Show version and exit.
+
+
+BANNER
+------
+Displays the cdist banner. Useful for printing
+cdist posters - a must have for every office.
+
+
+CONFIG/INSTALL
+--------------
+Configure/install one or more hosts.
+Install command is currently in beta.
+
+**-4, --force-ipv4**
+    Force to use IPv4 addresses only. No influence for
+    custom remote commands.
+
+**-6, --force-ipv6**
+    Force to use IPv6 addresses only. No influence for
+    custom remote commands.
+
+**-A, --all-tagged**
+    Use all hosts present in tags db. Currently in beta.
+
+**-a, --all**
+    List hosts that have all specified tags, if -t/--tag

+    :strong:`CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT` below.
+
+**-c CONF_DIR, --conf-dir CONF_DIR**
+    Add a configuration directory. Can be specified multiple times.
+    If configuration directories contain conflicting types, explorers or
+    manifests, then the last one found is used.
+
+**-f HOSTFILE, --file HOSTFILE**
+    Read specified file for a list of additional hosts to operate on
+    or if '-' is given, read stdin (one host per line). For the file
+    format see :strong:`HOSTFILE FORMAT` below.
+
+**-g CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE**
+    Use specified custom configuration file.
+
+**-I INVENTORY_DIR, --inventory INVENTORY_DIR**
+    Use specified custom inventory directory. Inventory
+    directory is set up by the following rules: if cdist
+    configuration resolves this value then specified
+    directory is used, if HOME env var is set then
+    ~/.cdit/inventory is used, otherwise distribution
+    inventory directory is used.
+
+**-i MANIFEST, --initial-manifest MANIFEST**
+    Path to a cdist manifest or - to read from stdin.
+
+**-j [JOBS], --jobs [JOBS]**
+    Operate in parallel in specified maximum number of
+    jobs. Global explorers, object prepare and object run
+    are supported. Without argument CPU count is used by
+    default.
+
+**--log-server**
+    Start a log server for sub processes to use. This is
+    mainly useful when running cdist nested from a code-
+    local script. Log server is always implicitly started
+    for 'install' command.
+
+**-n, --dry-run**
+    Do not execute code.
+
+**-o OUT_PATH, --out-dir OUT_PATH**
+    Directory to save cdist output in.

+    in the format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.us.
+
+**-p [HOST_MAX], --parallel [HOST_MAX]**
+    Operate on multiple hosts in parallel for specified
+    maximum hosts at a time. Without argument CPU count is
+    used by default.
+
+**-R [{tar,tgz,tbz2,txz}], --use-archiving [{tar,tgz,tbz2,txz}]**
+    Operate by using archiving with compression where
+    appropriate. Supported values are: tar - tar archive,
+    tgz - gzip tar archive (the default), tbz2 - bzip2 tar
+    archive and txz - lzma tar archive. Currently in beta.

+
+**--remote-copy REMOTE_COPY**
+    Command to use for remote copy (should behave like scp).
+
+**--remote-exec REMOTE_EXEC**
+    Command to use for remote execution (should behave like ssh).
+
+**-t, --tag**
+    Host is specified by tag, not hostname/address; list
+    all hosts that contain any of specified tags.
+    Currently in beta.
+
+HOSTFILE FORMAT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The HOSTFILE contains one host per line.
+A comment is started with '#' and continues to the end of the line.
+Any leading and trailing whitespace on a line is ignored.
+Empty lines are ignored/skipped.
+
+
+The Hostfile lines are processed as follows. First, all comments are
+removed. Then all leading and trailing whitespace characters are stripped.
+If such a line results in empty line it is ignored/skipped. Otherwise,
+host string is used.
+
+CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Cache path pattern specifies path for a cache directory subdirectory.
+In the path, '%N' will be substituted by the target host, '%h' will
+be substituted by the calculated host directory, '%P' will be substituted
+by the current process id. All format codes that
+:strong:`python` :strong:`datetime.strftime()` function supports, except
+'%h', are supported. These date/time directives format cdist config/install
+start time.
+
+If empty pattern is specified then default calculated host directory
+is used.
+
+Calculated host directory is a hash of a host cdist operates on.
+
+Resulting path is used to specify cache path subdirectory under which
+current host cache data are saved.

+:strong:`archiving`
+    Use specified archiving. Valid values include:
+    'none', 'tar', 'tgz', 'tbz2' and 'txz'.
+
+:strong:`beta`

+    'yes'/'no', 'on'/'off', 'true'/'false' and '1'/'0'.
+
+:strong:`cache_path_pattern`
+    Specify cache path pattern.
+
+:strong:`colored_output`
+    Colorize cdist's output. cf. the :code:`--colors` option.
+
+:strong:`conf_dir`
+    List of configuration directories separated with the character conventionally
+    used by the operating system to separate search path components (as in PATH),
+    such as ':' for POSIX or ';' for Windows.
+    If also specified at command line then values from command line are
+    appended to this value.
+
+:strong:`init_manifest`

+
+
+CAVEATS
+-------
+When operating in parallel, either by operating in parallel for each host
+(-p/--parallel) or by parallel jobs within a host (-j/--jobs), and depending
+on target SSH server and its configuration you may encounter connection drops.
+This is controlled with sshd :strong:`MaxStartups` configuration options.
+You may also encounter session open refusal. This happens with ssh multiplexing
+when you reach maximum number of open sessions permitted per network
+connection. In this case ssh will disable multiplexing.
+This limit is controlled with sshd :strong:`MaxSessions` configuration
+options. For more details refer to :strong:`sshd_config`\ (5).
+
+When requirements for the same object are defined in different manifests (see
+example below), for example, in init manifest and in some other type manifest
+and those requirements differ then dependency resolver cannot detect
+dependencies correctly. This happens because cdist cannot prepare all objects first
+and run all objects afterwards. Some object can depend on the result of type
+explorer(s) and explorers are executed during object run. cdist will detect
+such case and display a warning message. An example of such a case:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    init manifest:
+        __a a
+        require="__e/e" __b b
+        require="__f/f" __c c
+        __e e
+        __f f
+        require="__c/c" __d d
+        __g g
+        __h h
+
+    type __g manifest:
+        require="__c/c __d/d" __a a
+
+    Warning message:
+        WARNING: cdisttesthost: Object __a/a already exists with requirements:
+        /usr/home/darko/ungleich/cdist/cdist/test/config/fixtures/manifest/init-deps-resolver /tmp/tmp.cdist.test.ozagkg54/local/759547ff4356de6e3d9e08522b0d0807/data/conf/type/__g/manifest: set()

+        Dependency resolver could not handle dependencies as expected.

+cdist-type__acl(7)
+==================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__acl - Set ACL entries
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Fully supported and tested on Linux (ext4 filesystem), partial support for FreeBSD.
+
+See ``setfacl`` and ``acl`` manpages for more details.
+
+One of ``--entry`` or ``--source`` must be used.
+
+
+OPTIONAL MULTIPLE PARAMETERS
+----------------------------
+entry
+   Set ACL entry following ``getfacl`` output syntax.
+   Must be used if ``--source`` is not used.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+source
+   Read ACL entries from stdin or file.
+   Ordering of entries is not important.
+   When reading from file, comments and empty lines are ignored.
+   Must be used if ``--entry`` is not used.
+
+file
+   Create/change file with ``__file`` using ``user:group:mode`` pattern.
+
+directory
+   Create/change directory with ``__directory`` using ``user:group:mode`` pattern.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+default
+   Set all ACL entries as default too.
+   Only directories can have default ACLs.
+   Setting default ACL in FreeBSD is currently not supported.
+
+recursive
+   Make ``setfacl`` recursive (Linux only), but not ``getfacl`` in explorer.
+
+remove
+   Remove undefined ACL entries.
+   ``mask`` and ``other`` entries can't be removed, but only changed.

+        --entry group:some-other-group:r-x \
+        --entry mask::r-x \
+        --entry other::r-x
+
+    # give Alice read-only access to subdir,
+    # but don't allow her to see parent content.
+
+    __acl /srv/project2 \
+        --remove \
+        --entry default:group:secret-project:rwx \
+        --entry group:secret-project:rwx \

+cdist-type__debian_backports(7)
+===============================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__apt_backports - Install backports
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This singleton type installs backports for the current OS release.
+It aborts if backports are not supported for the specified OS or
+no version codename could be fetched (like Debian unstable).
+
+The package index will be automatically updated if required.
+
+It supports backports from following OSes:
+
+- Debian
+- Devuan
+- Ubuntu
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+state
+    Represents the state of the backports repository. ``present`` or
+    ``absent``, defaults to ``present``.
+
+    Will be directly passed to :strong:`cdist-type__apt_source`\ (7).
+
+mirror
+    The mirror to fetch the backports from. Will defaults to the generic
+    mirror of the current OS.
+
+    Will be directly passed to :strong:`cdist-type__apt_source`\ (7).
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+None.
+
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+None.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   # setup the backports
+   __apt_backports
+   __apt_backports --state absent
+   __apt_backports --state present --mirror "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/"
+
+   # install a backports package
+   # currently for the buster release backports
+   require="__apt_backports" __package_apt wireguard \
+        --target-release buster-backports
+
+
+ABORTS
+------
+Aborts if the detected os is not Debian.
+
+Aborts if no distribuition codename could be detected. This is common for the
+unstable distribution, but there is no backports repository for it already.
+
+
+CAVEATS
+-------
+For Ubuntu, it setup all componenents for the backports repository: ``main``,
+``restricted``, ``universe`` and ``multiverse``. The user may not want to
+install proprietary packages, which will only be installed if the user
+explicitly uses the backports target-release. The user may change this behavior
+to install backports packages without the need of explicitly select it.

+   Useful if the consul server "verify_incoming" option is set.
+
+ssl-ca-cert
+   Path to a CA certificate file, containing one or more CA certificates to
+   use to validate the certificate sent by the consul server to us. This is a
+   handy alternative to setting --ssl-no-verify if you are using your own CA.
+
+syslog-facility
+   The facility to use when sending to syslog. This requires the use of --syslog.
+   The default value is LOCAL0.
+
+token

+   Path to a CA certificate file, containing one or more CA certificates to
+   use to validate the certificate sent by the vault server to us.
+
+version
+   which version of consul-template to install. See ./files/versions for a list of
+   supported versions. Defaults to the latest known version.
+
+wait
+   the minimum(:maximum) to wait before rendering a new template to disk and
+   triggering a command, separated by a colon (:). If the optional maximum
+   value is omitted, it is assumed to be 4x the required minimum value.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+ssl
+   use HTTPS while talking to Consul. Requires the Consul server to be configured to serve secure connections.
+
+ssl-no-verify
+   ignore certificate warnings. Only used if ssl is enabled.

+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__consul_template_template - Manage consul-template templates
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Generate and deploy template definitions for a consul-template.
+See https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template#examples for documentation.
+Templates are written in the Go template format.
+Either the --source or the --source-file parameter must be given.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+destination
+   the destination where the generated file should go.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+command
+   an optional command to run after rendering the template to its destination.
+
+source
+   path to the template source. Conflicts --source-file.
+
+source-file
+   path to a local file which is uploaded using the __file type and configured
+   as the source.
+   If source is '-' (dash), take what was written to stdin as the file content.
+   Conflicts --source.
+
+state
+   if this template is 'present' or 'absent'. Defaults to 'present'.
+
+wait
+   The `minimum(:maximum)` time to wait before rendering a new template to
+   disk and triggering a command, separated by a colon (`:`). If the optional
+   maximum value is omitted, it is assumed to be 4x the required minimum value.
+   This is a numeric time with a unit suffix ("5s"). There is no default value.
+   The wait value for a template takes precedence over any globally-configured
+   wait.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # configure template on the target
+    __consul_template_template nginx \
+       --source /etc/my-consul-templates/nginx.ctmpl \
+       --destination /etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
+       --command 'service nginx restart'
+
+
+    # upload a local file to the target and configure it
+    __consul_template_template nginx \
+       --wait '2s:6s' \
+       --source-file "$__manifest/files/nginx.ctmpl" \

+========================
+
+NAME
+----
+
+cdist-type__dot_file - install file under user's home directory
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+This type installs a file (=\ *__object_id*) under user's home directory,
+providing a way to install per-user configuration files. File owner
+and group is deduced from user, for who file is installed.
+
+Unlike regular __file type, you do not need make any assumptions,
+where user's home directory is.
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+
+user
+    User, for who file is installed
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+
+dirmode
+    forwarded to :strong:`__directory` type as mode
+
+mode
+    forwarded to :strong:`__file` type
+
+state
+    forwarded to :strong:`__file` type
+
+source
+    forwarded to :strong:`__file` type
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+
+This type inherits all messages from :strong:`file` type, and do not add
+any new.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Install .forward file for user 'alice'. Since state is 'present',
+    # user is not meant to edit this file, all changes will be overridden.
+    # It is good idea to put warning about it in file itself.
+    __dot_file .forward --user alice --source "$__files/forward"
+
+    # Install .muttrc for user 'bob', if not already present. User can safely
+    # edit it, his changes will not be overwritten.
+    __dot_file .muttrc --user bob --source "$__files/recommended_mutt_config" --state exists
+
+
+    # Install default xmonad config for user 'eve'. Parent directory is created automatically.
+    __dot_file .xmonad/xmonad.hs --user eve --state exists --source "$__files/xmonad.hs"

+cdist-type__download(7)
+=======================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__download - Download a file
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Destination (``$__object_id``) in target host must be persistent storage
+in order to calculate checksum and decide if file must be (re-)downloaded.
+
+By default type will try to use ``wget``, ``curl`` or ``fetch``.
+If download happens in target (see ``--download``) then type will
+fallback to (and install) ``wget``.
+
+If download happens in local machine, then environment variables like
+``{http,https,ftp}_proxy`` etc can be used on cdist execution
+(``http_proxy=foo cdist config ...``).
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+url
+   File's URL.
+
+sum
+   Checksum of file going to be downloaded.
+   By default output of ``cksum`` without filename is expected.
+   Other hash formats supported with prefixes: ``md5:``, ``sha1:`` and ``sha256:``.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+download
+   If ``local`` (default), then download file to local storage and copy
+   it to target host. If ``remote``, then download happens in target.
+
+cmd-get
+   Command used for downloading.
+   Command must output to ``stdout``.
+   Parameter will be used for ``printf`` and must include only one
+   format specification ``%s`` which will become URL.
+   For example: ``wget -O - '%s'``.
+
+cmd-sum
+   Command used for checksum calculation.
+   Command output and ``--sum`` parameter must match.
+   Parameter will be used for ``printf`` and must include only one
+   format specification ``%s`` which will become destination.
+   For example: ``md5sum '%s' | awk '{print $1}'``.
+
+onchange
+   Execute this command after download.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __directory /opt/cpma
+
+    require='__directory/opt/cpma' \

+cdist-type__dpkg_architecture(7)
+================================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__dpkg_architecture - Handles foreign architectures on debian-like
+systems managed by `dpkg`
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This type handles foreign architectures on systems managed by
+:strong:`dpkg`\ (1). The object id is the name of the architecture accepted by
+`dpkg`, which should be added or removed.
+
+If the architecture is not setup on the system, it adds a new architecture as a
+new foreign architecture in `dpkg`. Then, it updates the apt package index to
+make packages from the new architecture available.
+
+If the architecture should be removed, it will remove it if it is not the base
+architecture on where the system was installed on. Before it, it will purge
+every package based on the "to be removed" architecture via `apt` to be able to
+remove the selected architecture.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+state
+    ``present`` or ``absent``. Defaults to ``present``.
+
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+added
+   Added the specified architecture
+
+removed
+   Removed the specified architecture
+
+
+ABORTS
+------
+Aborts in the following cases:
+
+If :strong:`dpkg`\ (1) is not available. It will abort with a proper error
+message.
+
+If the architecture is the same as the base architecture the system is build
+upon it (returned by ``dpkg --print-architecture``) and it should be removed.
+
+It will fail if it can not execute :strong:`apt`\ (8). It is assumed that it is
+already installed.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  # add i386 (32 bit) architecture
+  __dpkg_architecture i386
+
+  # remove it again :)
+  __dpkg_architecture i386 --state absent

+===================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__file - Manage files.
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type allows you to create files, remove files and set file
+attributes on the target.
+
+If the file already exists on the target, then if it is a:
+
+regular file, and state is:
+  present
+    replace it with the source file if they are not equal
+  exists
+    do nothing
+symlink
+  replace it with the source file
+directory
+  replace it with the source file
+
+One exception is that when state is pre-exists, an error is raised if
+the file would have been created otherwise (e.g. it is not present or
+not a regular file).
+
+In any case, make sure that the file attributes are as specified.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+

+   absent
+      the file does not exist
+   exists
+      the file from source but only if it doesn't already exist
+   pre-exists
+      check that the file exists and is a regular file, but do not
+      create or modify it
+
+group
+   Group to chgrp to. Defaults to ``root``.
+
+mode
+   Unix permissions, suitable for chmod. Defaults to a very secure ``0600``.
+
+owner
+   User to chown to. Defaults to ``root``.
+
+source
+   If supplied, copy this file from the host running cdist to the target.
+   If not supplied, an empty file or directory will be created.
+   If source is '-' (dash), take what was written to stdin as the file content.
+
+onchange
+   The code to run if file is modified.
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+chgrp <group>
+   Changed group membership
+chown <owner>
+   Changed owner
+chmod <mode>
+   Changed mode
+create
+   Empty file was created (no --source specified)

+cdist-type__filesystem(7)
+=========================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__filesystem - Create Filesystems.
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type allows you to create filesystems on devices.
+
+If the device is mounted on target, it refuses to do anything.
+
+If the device has a filesystem other then the specified and/or
+the label is not correct, it only makes a new filesystem
+if you have specified --force option.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+fstype
+    Filesystem type, for example 'ext3', 'btrfs' or 'xfs'.
+
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+device
+    Blockdevice for filesystem, Defaults to object_id.
+    On linux, it can be any lsblk accepted device notation.
+
+    |
+    | For example:
+    |    /dev/sdx
+    |    or /dev/disk/by-xxxx/xxx
+    |    or /dev/mapper/xxxx
+
+label
+   Label which should be applied on the filesystem.
+
+mkfsoptions
+   Additional options which are inserted to the mkfs.xxx call.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+force
+   Normally, this type does nothing if a filesystem is found
+   on the target device. If you specify force, it's formatted
+   if the filesystem type or label differs from parameters.
+   Warning: This option can easily lead into data loss!
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+filesystem <fstype> on <device> \: <discoverd device> created
+   Filesystem was created on <discoverd device>
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Ensures that device /dev/sdb is formatted with xfs
+    __filesystem /dev/sdb --fstype xfs --label Testdisk1
+    # The same thing with btrfs and disk spezified by pci path to disk 1:0 on vmware
+    __filesystem dev_sdb --fstype btrfs --device /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:0b:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 --label Testdisk2
+    # Make sure that a multipath san device has a filesystem ...
