Facter
This package is largely meant to be a library for collecting facts about your
system. These facts are mostly strings (i.e., not numbers), and are things
like the output of uname
, public ssh keys, the number of processors, etc.
See bin/facter
for an example of the interface.
Running Facter
Run the facter
binary on the command for a full list of facts supported on
your host.
Adding your own facts
See the Adding Facts page for details of how to add your own custom facts to Facter.
Running Specs
- bundle install --path .bundle/gems
- bundle exec rake spec
Note: external facts in the system facts.d directory can cause spec failures.
