💖 PUPPET-DESCRIBE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to puppet-describe(8) — it's the Puppet manual page that's literally just here to hand you the tea on resource types ☕✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

puppet-describe — display help about resource types 💅

Like. That's the whole job. It tells you stuff. About types. Iconic behaviour honestly.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Prints help about Puppet resource types, providers, and metaparameters.

that's it, that's the vibe. three things: types, providers, metaparameters. no cap.

✨ USAGE ✨

puppet describe [-h|--help] [-s|--short] [-p|--providers] [-l|--list]
[-m|--meta]

copy that exactly, don't get cute with it 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --help — prints this help text. the classic. the moment you're lost, this is your girl 🎀
  • --providers — describes providers in detail for each type. so like, the full deep-dive, not the summary 💖
  • --list — lists all the types. every single one. the whole roster 🌈
  • --meta — lists all metaparameters. yes, all of them ✨
  • --short — lists only parameters, without detail. minimal. clean. no yapping 🙈

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

$ puppet describe --list
$ puppet describe file --providers
$ puppet describe user -s -m

look at her go 😭 three lil examples, all slaying. run --list to see everything, peek at file's providers, or hit user with -s -m for that short-plus-meta combo 💫
