+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
+

+
+`How to setup multiarch on Debian <https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO>`_
+
+:strong:`dpkg`\ (1)
+:strong:`cdist-type__package_dpkg`\ (7)
+:strong:`cdist-type__package_apt`\ (7)
+
+Useful commands:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   # base architecture installed on this system
+   dpkg --print-architecture
+
+   # extra architectures added
+   dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

+======================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__hwclock - Manage the hardware real time clock.
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This type can be used to control how the hardware clock is used by the operating
+system.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+mode
+    What mode the hardware clock is in.
+
+    Acceptable values:
+
+    localtime
+        The hardware clock is set to local time (common for systems also running
+        Windows.)
+    UTC
+        The hardware clock is set to UTC (common on UNIX systems.)
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+None.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Make the operating system treat the time read from the hwclock as UTC.
+    __hwclock --mode UTC

 -----------
 This cdist type deploys an init script that triggers
 the configured rules and also re-applies them on
-configuration.
+configuration. Rules are written from __iptables_rule
+into the folder ``/etc/iptables.d/``.
+
+It reads all rules from the base folder as rules for IPv4.
+Rules in the subfolder ``v6/`` are IPv6 rules. Rules in
+the subfolder ``all/`` are applied to both rule tables. All
+files contain the arguments for a single ``iptables`` and/or
+``ip6tables`` command.
+
+Rules are applied in the following order:
+1. All IPv4 rules
+2. All IPv6 rules
+2. All rules that should be applied to both tables
+
+The order of the rules that will be applied are definite
+from the result the shell glob returns, which should be
+alphabetical. If rules must be applied in a special order,
+prefix them with a number like ``02-some-rule``.

+cdist-type__localedef(7)
+========================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__localedef - Define and remove system locales
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type allows you to define locales on the system using
+:strong:`localedef`\ (1) or remove them.
+On systems that don't support definition of new locales, the type will raise an
+error.
+
+**NB:** This type respects the glibc ``locale.alias`` file,
+i.e. it defines alias locales or deletes aliases of a locale when it is removed.
+It is not possible, however, to use alias names to define locales or only remove
+certain aliases of a locale.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+state
+   ``present`` or ``absent``. Defaults to ``present``.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Add locale de_CH.UTF-8
+    __localedef de_CH.UTF-8
+
+    # Same as above, but more explicit
+    __localedef de_CH.UTF-8 --state present
+
+    # Remove colourful British English
+    __localedef en_GB.UTF-8 --state absent

 purge-if-absent
    If this parameter is given when state is `absent`, the package is

+cdist-type__sshd_config(7)
+==========================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__sshd_config - Manage options in sshd_config
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This space intentionally left blank.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+file
+    The path to the sshd_config file to edit.
+    Defaults to ``/etc/ssh/sshd_config``.
+match
+    Restrict this option to apply only for certain connections.
+    Allowed values are what would be allowed to be written after a ``Match``
+    keyword in ``sshd_config``, e.g. ``--match 'User anoncvs'``.
+
+    Can be used multiple times. All of the values are ANDed together.
+option
+    The name of the option to manipulate. Defaults to ``__object_id``.
+state
+    Can be:
+
+    - ``present``: ensure a matching config line is present (or the default
+      value).
+    - ``absent``: ensure no matching config line is present.
+value
+    The option's value to be assigned to the option (if ``--state present``) or
+    removed (if ``--state absent``).
+
+    This option is required if ``--state present``. If not specified and
+    ``--state absent``, all values for the given option are removed.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+None.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Disallow root logins with password
+    __sshd_config PermitRootLogin --value without-password
+
+    # Disallow password-based authentication
+    __sshd_config PasswordAuthentication --value no
+
+    # Accept the EDITOR environment variable
+    __sshd_config AcceptEnv:EDITOR --option AcceptEnv --value EDITOR
+
+    # Force command for connections as git user
+    __sshd_config git@ForceCommand --match 'User git' --option ForceCommand \
+        --value 'cd ~git && exec git-shell ${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND:+-c "${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND}"}'
+
+
+SEE ALSO
+--------
+:strong:`sshd_config`\ (5)
+
+
+BUGS
+----
+- This type assumes a nicely formatted config file,
+  i.e. no config options spanning multiple lines.
+- ``Include`` directives are ignored.
+- Config options are not added/removed to/from the config file if their value is
+  the default value.

+==================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__uci - Manage configuration values in UCI
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type can be used to alter configuration options in OpenWrt's
+Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) system.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+value
+    The value to be set. Can be used multiple times.
+    This parameter is ignored if ``--state`` is ``absent``.
+
+    Due to the way cdist handles arguments, values **must not** contain newline
+    characters.
+
+    Values do not need special quoting for UCI. The only requirement is that the
+    value is passed to the type as a single shell argument.
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+state
+    ``present`` or ``absent``, defaults to ``present``.
+type
+    If the type should generate an option or a list.
+    One of: ``option`` or ``list``.
+    Defaults to auto-detect based on the number of ``--value`` parameters.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+None.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Set the system hostname
+    __uci system.@system[0].hostname --value 'OpenWrt'
+
+    # Set DHCP option 252: tell DHCP clients to not ask for proxy information.
+    __uci dhcp.lan.dhcp_option --type list --value '252,"\n"'
+
+    # Enable NTP and NTPd (each is applied individually)
+    __uci system.ntp.enabled --value 1
+    __uci system.ntp.enable_server --value 1
+    __uci system.ntp.server --type list \
+        --value '0.openwrt.pool.ntp.org' \
+        --value '1.openwrt.pool.ntp.org' \
+        --value '2.openwrt.pool.ntp.org' \
+        --value '3.openwrt.pool.ntp.org'

+cdist-type__uci_section(7)
+==========================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__uci_section - Manage configuration sections in UCI
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type can be used to replace whole configuration sections in OpenWrt's
+Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) system.
+It can be thought of as syntactic sugar for :strong:`cdist-type__uci`\ (7),
+as this type will generate the required `__uci` objects to make the section
+contain exactly the options specified using ``--option``.
+
+Since many default UCI sections are unnamed, this type allows to find the
+matching section by one of its options using the ``--match`` parameter.
+
+**NOTE:** Options already present on the target and not listed in ``--option``
+or ``--list`` will be deleted.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+list
+    An option that is part of a list and should be present in the section (as
+    part of a list).  Lists with multiple options can be expressed by using the
+    same ``<option>`` repeatedly.
+
+    The value to this parameter is a ``<option>=<value>`` string.
+
+    ``<value>`` does not need special quoting for UCI.
+    The only requirement is that the value is passed to the type as a single
+    shell argument.
+match
+    Allows to find a section to "replace" through one of its parameters.
+
+    The value to this parameter is a ``<option>=<value>`` string.
+option
+    An option that should be present in the section.
+    This parameter can be used multiple times to specify multiple options.
+
+    The value to this parameter is a ``<option>=<value>`` string.
+
+    ``<value>`` does not need special quoting for UCI.
+    The only requirement is that the value is passed to the type as a single
+    shell argument.
+state
+    ``present`` or ``absent``, defaults to ``present``.
+type
+    The type of the section in the format: ``<config>.<section-type>``
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+None.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
