NAME

       puppet-man - Display Puppet manual pages.

SYNOPSIS

       puppet man action

DESCRIPTION

       This   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://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/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.

              Whether to log verbosely.
