NAME

       facter - Collect and display facts about the system

SYNOPSIS

       facter [options] [fact] ...

DESCRIPTION

       facter collects and displays facts about the current system.

       The  library  behind  Facter  is  easy  to expand, making Facter an easy way to collect information about a system from within the shell or
       within Ruby.

       If no facts are specifically asked for, then all facts will be returned.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --yaml Emit facts in YAML format.

       --json Emit facts in JSON format.

       --puppet
	      Load the Puppet libraries, thus allowing Facter to load Puppet-specific facts.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --version
	      Show version of program.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging.

       --trace
	      Enable backtraces.

       --timing
	      Enable timing.

EXAMPLES

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.

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.
