Using the example of the file provider that is bundled with puppet here is
a sniglet of code that I've zoomed in on:
def mode
if stat = resource.stat
return (stat.mode & 007777).to_s(8)
else
return :absent
end
end
def mode=(value)
begin
File.chmod(value.to_i(8), resource[:path])
rescue => detail
error = Puppet::Error.new("failed to set mode #{mode} on
#{resource[:path]}: #{detail.message}")
error.set_backtrace detail.backtrace
raise error
end
end
can I guess that the first def mod is what is referred to as a "getter" and
second is a "setter?" Can I stretch that inference to say that if the
value being passed to the setter is the same as what the getter is seeing
it won't be set again?
