NAME

6       cdist-type__directory - Manage a directory
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This  cdist type allows you to create or remove directories on the tar‐
10       get.
11

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

13       None.
14

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

16       state  'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present'
17
18       group  Group to chgrp to.
19
20       mode   Unix permissions, suitable for chmod.
21
22       owner  User to chown to.
23

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

25       parents
26              Whether to create parents as well (mkdir -p  behaviour).   Warn‐
27              ing:  all intermediate directory permissions default to whatever
28              mkdir -p does.
29
30              Usually this means root:root, 0700.
31
32       recursive
33              If supplied the chgrp and chown call will run recursively.  This
34              does not influence the behaviour of chmod.
