Class Method Details

.[](name) ⇒ Facter::Util::Fact?

Returns a fact object by name. If you use this, you still have to call ‘value` on it to retrieve the actual value.

def self.[](name)
  collection.fact(name)
end

.add(name, options = {}, { || ... }) ⇒ Facter::Util::Fact

Adds a resolution mechanism for a named fact. This does not distinguish between adding a new fact and adding a new way to resolve a fact.

Options Hash (options):

  • :timeout (Integer) —

    set the timeout for this resolution

def self.add(name, options = {}, &block)
  collection.add(name, options, &block)
end

.clear ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Clears all cached values and removes all facts from memory.

end

.collection ⇒ LegacyFacter::Util::Collection

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Accessor for the collection object which holds all the facts

.define_fact(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Facter::Util::Fact

Define a new fact or extend an existing fact.

.each {|name, value| ... } ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Iterates over fact names and values

Yield Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the fact name

  • value (String) —

    the current value of the fact
