## Defined types

### concat

Manages a file, compiled from one or more text fragments.

#### Examples

##### 

```puppet
concat { '/tmp/concat':
  ensure => present,
  owner  => 'root',
  group  => 'root',
  mode   => '0644',
}
```

#### Parameters

The following parameters are available in the `concat` defined type.

##### `backup`

Data type: `Variant[Boolean, String]`

Specifies whether (and how) to back up the destination file before overwriting it. Your value gets passed on to Puppet's native file
resource for execution. Valid options: true, false, or a string representing either a target filebucket or a filename extension
beginning with ".".

Default value: 'puppet'

##### `ensure`

Data type: `Enum['present', 'absent']`

Specifies whether the destination file should exist. Setting to 'absent' tells Puppet to delete the destination file if it exists, and
negates the effect of any other parameters.

Default value: 'present'

##### `ensure_newline`

Data type: `Boolean`

Specifies whether to add a line break at the end of each fragment that doesn't already end in one.

Default value: `false`

##### `format`

Data type: `Optional[String]`

Specify what data type to merge the fragments as. Valid options: 'plain', 'yaml', 'json', 'json-array', 'json-pretty',
'json-array-pretty'.

Default value: 'plain'

##### `force`

Data type: `Optional[Boolean]`

Specifies whether to merge data structures, keeping the values with higher order. Used when format is specified as a value other than
'plain'.

Default value: `false`

##### `group`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[String, Integer]]`

Specifies a permissions group for the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a group name or integer containing a gid.

Default value: `undef`

##### `mode`

Data type: `String`

Specifies the permissions mode of the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a permission mode value in octal notation.

Default value: '0644'

##### `order`

Data type: `Enum['alpha','numeric']`

Specifies a method for sorting your fragments by name within the destination file. You can override this setting for individual
fragments by adjusting the order parameter in their concat::fragment declarations.

Default value: 'alpha'

##### `owner`

Data type: `Optional[Variant[String, Integer]]`

Specifies the owner of the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a username or integer containing a uid.

Default value: `undef`

##### `path`

Data type: `Stdlib::Absolutepath`

Specifies a destination file for the combined fragments.

Default value: $name

##### `replace`

Data type: `Boolean`

Specifies whether to overwrite the destination file if it already exists.

Default value: `true`

##### `selinux_ignore_defaults`

Data type: `Optional[Boolean]`

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#file-attribute-selinux_ignore_defaults

Default value: `undef`

##### `selrange`

Data type: `Optional[String]`

See the file type's selrange documentention: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#file-attribute-selrange

Default value: `undef`

##### `selrole`

Data type: `Optional[String]`

Default value: `undef`

##### `seltype`

Data type: `Optional[String]`

Default value: `undef`

##### `seluser`

Data type: `Optional[String]`

Default value: `undef`

##### `show_diff`

Data type: `Boolean`

Specifies whether to set the show_diff parameter for the file resource. Useful for hiding secrets stored in hiera from insecure
reporting methods.

Default value: `true`

##### `validate_cmd`

Data type: `Optional[String]`

Specifies a validation command to apply to the destination file.

Default value: `undef`

##### `warn`

Data type: `Variant[Boolean, String]`

Specifies whether to add a header message at the top of the destination file. Valid options: the booleans true and false, or a string
to serve as the header.
If you set 'warn' to true, concat adds the following line with an order of 0:
`# This file is managed by Puppet. DO NOT EDIT.`
Before 2.0.0, this parameter would add a newline at the end of the warn message. To improve flexibilty, this was removed. Please add
it explicitly if you need it.

Default value: `false`

#### Parameters

The following parameters are available in the `concat::fragment` defined type.

option is recommended.

Data type: `Optional[Variant[String, Array]]`

Specifies a file to read into the content of the fragment. Note: You must supply either a content parameter or a source parameter.
Valid options: a string or an array, containing one or more Puppet URLs.

##### `target`

Data type: `String`

Specifies the destination file of the fragment. Valid options: a string containing the path or title of the parent concat resource.

```puppet
Concat_fragment <<| tag == 'unique_tag' |>>

concat_file { '/tmp/file':
  tag            => 'unique_tag', # Optional. Default to undef
  path           => '/tmp/file',  # Optional. If given it overrides the resource name
  owner          => 'root',       # Optional. Default to undef
