[Puppet Users] How does puppet copy files?

2011-11-11 Thread Dmitry 
Hello!

Imagine that I have the following in my puppet manifest:
file { '/etc/master.passwd':
 mode   => 0600,
 source => 'puppet:///modules/test/etc/master.passwd',
}


When agent notices that master.passwd should be refreshed, how exactly
does copy process happen?
Is it atomic (e.g. fetch to some temp filename on local filesystem and
then rename)?
Or it will fetch the file over the net to the destination name (and so
there is some short period of time when
target file is in inconsistent state)?

Thanks!
