module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:validate_absolute_path, :doc => <<-'ENDHEREDOC') do |args|
    Validate the string represents an absolute path in the filesystem.  This function works
    for windows and unix style paths.

    The following values will pass:

        $my_path = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Puppet Labs/Puppet'
        validate_absolute_path($my_path)
        $my_path2 = '/var/lib/puppet'
        validate_absolute_path($my_path2)
        $my_path3 = ['C:/Program Files (x86)/Puppet Labs/Puppet','C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet']
        validate_absolute_path($my_path3)
        $my_path4 = ['/var/lib/puppet','/usr/share/puppet']
        validate_absolute_path($my_path4)

    The following values will fail, causing compilation to abort:

        validate_absolute_path(true)
        validate_absolute_path('../var/lib/puppet')
        validate_absolute_path('var/lib/puppet')
        validate_absolute_path([ 'var/lib/puppet', '/var/foo' ])
        validate_absolute_path([ '/var/lib/puppet', 'var/foo' ])
        $undefined = undef
        validate_absolute_path($undefined)
