Method: Puppet::Type#set_default

Defined in:
lib/puppet/type.rb

#set_default(attr) ⇒ void

TODO:

comment says “For any parameters or properties that have defaults and have not yet been set, set them now. This method can be handed a list of attributes, and if so it will only set defaults for those attributes.”

TODO:

Needs a better explanation, and investigation about the claim an array can be passed (it is passed to self.class.attrclass to produce a class on which a check is made if it has a method class :default (does not seem to support an array…

This method returns an undefined value.
