hi! I've seen it reported that there is no official doc for parsedfile; does anyone know if this is still true?
I'm trying to make a new type and getting stuck on how parsedfile works . . . Any help would be appreciated: regarding the "Puppet::Type.type(:newType).provide" line: 1. What does the ":parsed" label do? Are there other options? 2. Are there other types of ":filetypes" besides ":flat"? Does labeling as :flat have any affect on the parsing? regarding "record_line": 1. can the "name" parameter be anything? is ":parsed" anything special? Is the name used for anything? 2. what exactly do the parenthetic groupings do, e.g. /^\s+(.*)=(.*):$/ ? 3. Is there a relationship between the parenthetic groupings and the ":fields" label? 4. what is the relationship between :fields in provider, "newparams" in type & fields in manifest/init.pp? 4a. Why do i get the following error when I don't have stuff_1 as ":optional": Could not evaluate: Field 'stuff_1' is required 5. What does :post_parse do? 6 What does :pre_gen do? 7 Are there any other "mystery" parameter? Thanks soooooooo much!!
