Description

PUPPET-DOC(8)                    Puppet manual                   PUPPET-DOC(8)



NAME
       puppet-doc - Generate Puppet references

SYNOPSIS
       Generates  a reference for all Puppet types. Largely meant for internal
       Puppet Inc. use. (Deprecated)

USAGE
       puppet doc [-h|--help] [-l|--list] [-r|--reference reference-name]

DESCRIPTION
       This  deprecated  command  generates  a  Markdown  document  to  stdout
       describing  all  installed  Puppet  types or all allowable arguments to
       puppet executables. It is largely meant for internal use and is used to
       generate the reference document available on the Puppet Inc. web site.

       For  Puppet module documentation (and all other use cases) this command
       has  been   superseded   by   the   "puppet-strings"   module   -   see
       https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-strings for more information.

       This  command (puppet-doc) will be removed once the puppetlabs internal
       documentation  processing  pipeline  is  completely   based   on   pup-
       pet-strings.

OPTIONS
       --help Print this help message

       --reference
              Build  a  particular reference. Get a list of references by run-
              ning 'puppet doc --list'.

EXAMPLE
       $ puppet doc -r type > /tmp/type_reference.markdown
