3 Merges two or more hashes together and returns the resulting hash.

5 For example:
6
7 $hash1 = {'one' => 1, 'two', => 2}
8 $hash2 = {'two' => 'dos', 'three', => 'tres'}
9 $merged_hash = merge($hash1, $hash2)
10 # The resulting hash is equivalent to:
11 # $merged_hash = {'one' => 1, 'two' => 'dos', 'three' => 'tres'}
12
13 When there is a duplicate key, the key in the rightmost hash will "win."

26 raise Puppet::ParseError, "merge: unexpected argument type #{arg.class}, only expects hash arguments"

28 accumulator.merge!(arg)
