NAME
puppet-man - Display Puppet manual pages.
SYNOPSIS
puppet man action
DESCRIPTION
Please use the command 'puppet help subcommand' or the system manpage
system 'man puppet-subcommand' to display information about Puppet sub-
commands. The deprecated man subcommand displays manual pages for all
Puppet subcommands. If the ronn gem (https://github.com/rtomayko/ronn/)
is installed on your system, puppet man will display fully-formatted
man pages. If ronn is not available, puppet man will display the raw
(but human-readable) source text in a pager.
OPTIONS
Note that any setting that's valid in the configuration file is also a
valid long argument, although it may or may not be relevant to the
present action. For example, server and run_mode are valid settings, so
you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an
argument.
See the configuration file documentation at https://pup-
pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html for the full list of
acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options
can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig.
--render-as FORMAT
The format in which to render output. The most common formats
are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such
as dot are sometimes available.
--verbose
Whether to log verbosely.
--debug
Whether to log debug information.
ACTIONS
man - Display the manual page for a Puppet subcommand.
SYNOPSIS
puppet man subcommand
DESCRIPTION
Display the manual page for a Puppet subcommand.
RETURNS
The man data, in Markdown format, suitable for consumption by
Ronn.
RENDERING ISSUES: To skip fancy formatting and output the raw
Markdown text (e.g. for use in a pipeline), call this action
with '--render-as s'.
EXAMPLES
man
View the installed manual page for the subcommand 'config':
$ man puppet-config
(Deprecated) View the manual page for the subcommand 'config':
$ puppet man config
