+# This facter fact returns the value of the Puppet vardir setting for the node
+# running puppet or puppet agent.  The intent is to enable Puppet modules to
+# automatically have insight into a place where they can place variable data,
+# regardless of the node's platform.
+#
+# The value should be directly usable in a File resource path attribute.
