Overview

Library for concatenating multiple files into 1.

Usage

Creating a file fragment

Creates a file fragment to be collected by file_concat based on the tag.

Example with exported resource:

@@file_fragment { "uniqe_name_${::fqdn}":
  tag     => 'unique_tag',            # Mandatory
  order   => 10,                      # Optional. Default to 10
  content => 'some content'           # OR
  content => template('template.erb') # OR
  source  => 'puppet:///path/to/file'
}

Concatenating file fragments into one file

Gets all the file fragments and puts these into the target file. This will mostly be used with exported resources.

example:

File_fragment <<| tag == 'unique_tag' |>>

file_concat { '/tmp/file':
  tag   => 'unique_tag', # Mandatory
  path  => '/tmp/file',  # Optional. If given it overrides the resource name
  owner => 'root',       # Optional. Default to root
  group => 'root',       # Optional. Default to root
  mode  => '0644'        # Optional. Default to 0644
}
