PUPPET-MAN(8)							   Puppet manual						     PUPPET-MAN(8)

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 is a valid configuration parameter, so you can  specify  --server  <servername>  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.

       --mode MODE
	      The run mode to use for the current action. Valid modes are user, agent, and master.

       --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.
