Feature #2186: Some introspection capabilities about Files
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2186

Author: phantez
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.25.0
Keywords: 


Allow the user to ask some introspection query about files, the following 
examples use arbitrary options :

* What is the reference file for a specific file ?

<pre>
# puppet  /etc/puppet/manifest/site.pp --which-source-file 
/etc/sysconfig/security.conf
Src file /etc/puppet/services/files/security.conf
</pre>


* What is the difference between the actual file and the reference file ?

<pre>
# puppet  /etc/puppet/manifest/site.pp --diff-with-reference-file 
/etc/sysconfig/security.conf
1c1,2
< file1
---
> file2
</pre>


* Which manifest define a specific file ?

<pre>
# puppet /etc/puppet/manifest/site.pp --which-manifest-file 
/etc/sysconfig/security.conf
Content is defined in class security in '/etc/puppet/services/manifests/conf.pp'
</pre>


I don't know which command should  handle this request and how to manage the 
fact that the answers depend on the node and the facts, but I think that this 
features can be very useful to maintain manifests when there is several 
administrators.
