Package: facter (4.3.0-2)

[ Source: facter  ]

collect and display facts about the system

Facter is Puppet’s cross-platform system profiling library. It discovers and reports per-node facts, which are collected by the Puppet agent and are made available in Puppet manifests as variables. Facter comes with a number of built-in facts providing information about the operating system, hardware, SSH keys, etc., but is also easily extensible through the following interfaces:

 * Through custom facts using Facter's Ruby API.
 * Through `external' facts which can be either executables, or static data
   files.

This package contains the facter binary and the ruby module making facter available to Puppet.
