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

puppet-man - Display Puppet manual pages.

puppet man action

Please use the command ´puppet help subcommand´ or the system manpage system ´man puppet-subcommand´ to display information about Puppet subcommands. The deprecated man 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-formatted man pages. If ronn is not available, puppet man will display the raw (but human-readable) source text in a pager.

Note that any setting 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 settings, so you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an argument.

See the configuration file documentation at https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/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.

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´.

man

View the installed manual page for the subcommand ´config´:

$ man puppet-config
