Description-en: collect and display facts about the system
Facter is Puppet’s cross-platform system profiling library. It discovers and
reports per-node facts, which are collected by the Puppet agent and are made
available in Puppet manifests as variables. Facter comes with a number of
built-in facts providing information about the operating system, hardware, SSH
keys, etc., but is also easily extensible through the following interfaces:
.
* Through custom facts using Facter's Ruby API.
* Through `external' facts which can be either executables, or static data
files.
.
This package contains the facter binary and the ruby module making facter
available to Puppet.
