This function can also determine whether a +specific resource has been declared. Returns true or false. Accepts class names, +type names, and resource references. + +The `defined` function checks both native and defined types, including types +provided as plugins via modules. Types and classes are both checked using their names: + + defined("file") + defined("customtype") + defined("foo") + defined("foo::bar") + +Resource declarations are checked using resource references, e.g. +`defined( File['/tmp/myfile'] )`. Checking whether a given resource +has been declared is, unfortunately, dependent on the parse order of +the configuration, and the following code will not work: + + if defined(File['/tmp/foo']) { + notify("This configuration includes the /tmp/foo file.") + } + file {"/tmp/foo": + ensure => present, + } + +However, this order requirement refers to parse order only, and ordering of +resources in the configuration graph (e.g. with `before` or `require`) does not +affect the behavior of `defined`. + +- *Type*: rvalue + +defined_with_params +------------------- +Takes a resource reference and an optional hash of attributes. + +Returns true if a resource with the specified attributes has already been added +to the catalog, and false otherwise. + + user { 'dan': + ensure => present, + } + + if !

Multiple files +can be passed, and the first file that exists will be read in. + +- *Type*: rvalue + +flatten +------- +This function flattens any deeply nested arrays and returns a single flat array +as a result. + +*Examples:* + + flatten(['a', ['b', ['c']]]) + +Would return: ['a','b','c'] + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +fqdn_rand +--------- +Generates random numbers based on the node's fqdn. Generated random values +will be a range from 0 up to and excluding n, where n is the first parameter. +The second argument specifies a number to add to the seed and is optional, for example: + + $random_number = fqdn_rand(30) + $random_number_seed = fqdn_rand(30,30) + +- *Type*: rvalue + +fqdn_rotate +----------- +Rotates an array a random number of times based on a nodes fqdn. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +generate +-------- +Calls an external command on the Puppet master and returns +the results of the command. Any arguments are passed to the external command as +arguments. If the generator does not exit with return code of 0, +the generator is considered to have failed and a parse error is +thrown. Generators can only have file separators, alphanumerics, dashes, +and periods in them. This function will attempt to protect you from +malicious generator calls (e.g., those with '..' in them), but it can +never be entirely safe. No subshell is used to execute +generators, so all shell metacharacters are passed directly to +the generator. + +- *Type*: rvalue + +get_module_path +--------------- +Returns the absolute path of the specified module for the current +environment. + +Example: + $module_path = get_module_path('stdlib') + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +getvar +------ +Lookup a variable in a remote namespace. + +For example: + + $foo = getvar('site::data::foo') + # Equivalent to $foo = $site::data::foo + +This is useful if the namespace itself is stored in a string: + + $datalocation = 'site::data' + $bar = getvar("${datalocation}::bar") + # Equivalent to $bar = $site::data::bar + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +grep +---- +This function searches through an array and returns any elements that match +the provided regular expression. + +*Examples:* + + grep(['aaa','bbb','ccc','aaaddd'], 'aaa') + +Would return: + + ['aaa','aaaddd'] + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +has_key +------- +Determine if a hash has a certain key value. + +Example: + + $my_hash = {'key_one' => 'value_one'} + if has_key($my_hash, 'key_two') { + notice('we will not reach here') + } + if has_key($my_hash, 'key_one') { + notice('this will be printed') + } + + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +hash +---- +This function converts and array into a hash. + +*Examples:* + + hash(['a',1,'b',2,'c',3]) + +Would return: {'a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3} + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +include +------- +Evaluate one or more classes. + +- *Type*: statement + +info +---- +Log a message on the server at level info. + +- *Type*: statement + +inline_template +--------------- +Evaluate a template string and return its value. See +[the templating docs](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html) for +more information. Note that if multiple template strings are specified, their +output is all concatenated and returned as the output of the function. + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_array +-------- +Returns true if the variable passed to this function is an array. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_domain_name +-------------- +Returns true if the string passed to this function is a syntactically correct domain name. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_float +-------- +Returns true if the variable passed to this function is a float. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_hash +------- +Returns true if the variable passed to this function is a hash. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_integer +---------- +Returns true if the variable returned to this string is an integer. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_ip_address +------------- +Returns true if the string passed to this function is a valid IP address. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_mac_address +-------------- +Returns true if the string passed to this function is a valid mac address. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_numeric +---------- +Returns true if the variable passed to this function is a number. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +is_string +--------- +Returns true if the variable passed to this function is a string. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +join +---- +This function joins an array into a string using a seperator. + +*Examples:* + + join(['a','b','c'], ",") + +Would result in: "a,b,c" + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +keys +---- +Returns the keys of a hash as an array. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +loadyaml +-------- +Load a YAML file containing an array, string, or hash, and return the data +in the corresponding native data type. + +For example: + + $myhash = loadyaml('/etc/puppet/data/myhash.yaml') + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +lstrip +------ +Strips leading spaces to the left of a string. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +md5 +--- +Returns a MD5 hash value from a provided string. + +- *Type*: rvalue + +member +------ +This function determines if a variable is a member of an array. + +*Examples:* + + member(['a','b'], 'b') + +Would return: true + + member(['a','b'], 'c') + +Would return: false + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +merge +----- +Merges two or more hashes together and returns the resulting hash. + +For example: + + $hash1 = {'one' => 1, 'two', => 2} + $hash2 = {'two' => 'dos', 'three', => 'tres'} + $merged_hash = merge($hash1, $hash2) + # The resulting hash is equivalent to: + # $merged_hash = {'one' => 1, 'two' => 'dos', 'three' => 'tres'} + +When there is a duplicate key, the key in the rightmost hash will "win." + + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +notice +------ +Log a message on the server at level notice. + +- *Type*: statement + +num2bool +-------- +This function converts a number into a true boolean. Zero becomes false. Numbers +higher then 0 become true. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +parsejson +--------- +This function accepts JSON as a string and converts into the correct Puppet +structure. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +parseyaml +--------- +This function accepts YAML as a string and converts it into the correct +Puppet structure. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +prefix +------ +This function applies a prefix to all elements in an array. + +*Examles:* + + prefix(['a','b','c'], 'p') + +Will return: ['pa','pb','pc'] + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +range +----- +When given range in the form of (start, stop) it will extrapolate a range as +an array. + +*Examples:* + + range("0", "9") + +Will return: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] + + range("00", "09") + +Will return: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] (Zero padded strings are converted to +integers automatically) + + range("a", "c") + +Will return: ["a","b","c"] + + range("host01", "host10") + +Will return: ["host01", "host02", ..., "host09", "host10"] + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +realize +------- +Make a virtual object real. This is useful +when you want to know the name of the virtual object and don't want to +bother with a full collection. It is slightly faster than a collection, +and, of course, is a bit shorter. You must pass the object using a +reference; e.g.: `realize User[luke]`. + +- *Type*: statement + +regsubst +-------- +Perform regexp replacement on a string or array of strings. + +* *Parameters* (in order): + * _target_ The string or array of strings to operate on. If an array, the replacement will be performed on each of the elements in the array, and the return value will be an array. + * _regexp_ The regular expression matching the target string. If you want it anchored at the start and or end of the string, you must do that with ^ and $ yourself. + * _replacement_ Replacement string. Can contain backreferences to what was matched using \0 (whole match), \1 (first set of parentheses), and so on. + * _flags_ Optional. String of single letter flags for how the regexp is interpreted: + - *E* Extended regexps + - *I* Ignore case in regexps + - *M* Multiline regexps + - *G* Global replacement; all occurrences of the regexp in each target string will be replaced. Without this, only the first occurrence will be replaced. + * _encoding_ Optional. How to handle multibyte characters. A single-character string with the following values: + - *N* None + - *E* EUC + - *S* SJIS + - *U* UTF-8 + +* *Examples* + +Get the third octet from the node's IP address: + + $i3 = regsubst($ipaddress,'^(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)$','\3') + +Put angle brackets around each octet in the node's IP address: + + $x = regsubst($ipaddress, '([0-9]+)', '<\1>', 'G') + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +require +------- +Evaluate one or more classes, adding the required class as a dependency. + +The relationship metaparameters work well for specifying relationships +between individual resources, but they can be clumsy for specifying +relationships between classes. This function is a superset of the +'include' function, adding a class relationship so that the requiring +class depends on the required class. + +Warning: using require in place of include can lead to unwanted dependency cycles. + +For instance the following manifest, with 'require' instead of 'include' would produce a nasty dependence cycle, because notify imposes a before between File[/foo] and Service[foo]: + + class myservice { + service { foo: ensure => running } + } + + class otherstuff { + include myservice + file { '/foo': notify => Service[foo] } + } + +Note that this function only works with clients 0.25 and later, and it will +fail if used with earlier clients. + + + +- *Type*: statement + +reverse +------- +Reverses the order of a string or array. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +rstrip +------ +Strips leading spaces to the right of the string. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +search +------ +Add another namespace for this class to search. +This allows you to create classes with sets of definitions and add +those classes to another class's search path. + +- *Type*: statement + +sha1 +---- +Returns a SHA1 hash value from a provided string. + +- *Type*: rvalue + +shellquote +---------- +Quote and concatenate arguments for use in Bourne shell. + +Each argument is quoted separately, and then all are concatenated +shuffle +------- +Randomizes the order of a string or array elements. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +size +---- +Returns the number of elements in a string or array. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +sort +---- +Sorts strings and arrays lexically. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +squeeze +------- +Returns a new string where runs of the same character that occur in this set are replaced by a single character. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +str2bool +-------- +This converts a string to a boolean. This attempt to convert strings that +contain things like: y, 1, t, true to 'true' and strings that contain things +like: 0, f, n, false, no to 'false'. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +str2saltedsha512 +---------------- +This converts a string to a salted-SHA512 password hash (which is used for +OS X versions >= 10.7). Given any simple string, you will get a hex version +of a salted-SHA512 password hash that can be inserted into your Puppet +manifests as a valid password attribute. + + +- *Type*: rvalue + +strftime +-------- +This function returns formatted time. + +*Examples:* + +To return the time since epoch: + + strftime("%s") + +To return the date: + + strftime("%Y-%m-%d") + +*Format meaning:* + + %a - The abbreviated weekday name (``Sun'') + %A - The full weekday name (``Sunday'') + %b - The abbreviated month name (``Jan'') + %B - The full month name (``January'') + %c - The preferred local date and time representation + %C - Century (20 in 2009) + %d - Day of the month (01..31) + %D - Date (%m/%d/%y) + %e - Day of the month, blank-padded ( 1..31) + %F - Equivalent to %Y-%m-%d (the ISO 8601 date format) + %h - Equivalent to %b + %H - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock (00..23) + %I - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock (01..12) + %j - Day of the year (001..366) + %k - hour, 24-hour clock, blank-padded ( 0..23) + %l - hour, 12-hour clock, blank-padded ( 0..12) + %L - Millisecond of the second (000..999) + %m - Month of the year (01..12) + %M - Minute of the hour (00..59) + %n - Newline ( +) + %N - Fractional seconds digits, default is 9 digits (nanosecond) + %3N millisecond (3 digits) + %6N microsecond (6 digits) + %9N nanosecond (9 digits) + %p - Meridian indicator (``AM'' or ``PM'') + %P - Meridian indicator (``am'' or ``pm'') + %r - time, 12-hour (same as %I:%M:%S %p) + %R - time, 24-hour (%H:%M) + %s - Number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. + %S - Second of the minute (00..60) + %t - Tab character ( ) + %T - time, 24-hour (%H:%M:%S) + %u - Day of the week as a decimal, Monday being 1.
