CDIST-TYPE__ISSUE(7)

πŸ’– cdist-type__issue πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to cdist-type__issue β€” a lil cdist type from the cdist manual fam that lets you set up /etc/issue like it's nbd. which it literally is. slay. πŸŽ€


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This cdist type lets you easily set up /etc/issue. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "one job, does it well" main character energy πŸ‘‘


🌸 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🌸

None. πŸ’…

no fr, zero. nothing required. you can just call it and go. iconic.


πŸ¦‹ OPTIONAL PARAMETERS πŸ¦‹

  • source β€” if you supply this, it uses that file as /etc/issue instead of the default one. like, "not me using a custom issue file πŸ™ˆ". your file, your rules.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

the classic, bare-bones, no-thoughts-just-vibes version:

__issue

and here's the glow-up β€” when you're calling it from another type and wanna point at your own fancy file:

# When called from another type
__issue --source "$__type/files/myfancyissue"

see how $__type/files/myfancyissue is right there in the code block? yeah. copy it exactly. don't be out here typo-ing paths, bestie 😭
