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-formated
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 configuration parameter 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 configuration parameters, so you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as
an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/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 manual page for a subcommand:
$ puppet man facts
NOTES
The pager used for display will be the first found of $MANPAGER, $PAGER, less, most, or more.
