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',  'absent',  'exists'  or  'pre-exists',  defaults  to
17              'present' where:
18
19              present
20                     the directory exists and the given attributes are set.
21
22              absent the directory does not exist.
23
24              exists the  directory exists, but its attributes are not altered
25                     if it already existed.
26
27              pre-exists
28                     check that the directory exists and is  indeed  a  direc‐
29                     tory, but do not create or modify it.
30
31       group  Group to chgrp to.
32
33       mode   Unix permissions, suitable for chmod.
34
35       owner  User to chown to.
36

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

38       parents
39              Whether  to  create parents as well (mkdir -p behaviour).  Warn‐
40              ing: all intermediate directory permissions default to  whatever
41              mkdir -p does.
42
43              Usually this means root:root, 0700.
44
45       recursive
46              If supplied the chgrp and chown call will run recursively.  This
47              does not influence the behaviour of chmod.
48

76          __directory /etc --owner root --group root --mode 0755
77
78          # Create nfs service directory, including parents
79          __directory /home/services/nfs --parents
80
81          # Change permissions recursively
82          __directory /home/services --recursive --owner root --group root
83
84          # Setup a temp directory
85          __directory /local --mode 1777
