This could change when --stdin is meaningfully implemented on InterfaceBase rather than just IndirectorBase. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6774: Implement global flag for reading from STDIN https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6774 Author: Pieter van de Bruggen Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Category: interfaces Target version: 2.6.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: One useful convention established by other command-line scripts is to read arguments from ARGV by default, opting to use STDIN if a '--stdin' flag is seen. We should implement this same behavior, since it's useful for larger structures like Catalogs. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
