Facter
======

This package is largely meant to be a library for collecting facts about your
system.  These facts are mostly strings (i.e., not numbers), and are things
like the output of ``uname``, public ssh and cfengine keys, the number of
processors, etc.

See ``bin/facter`` for an example of the interface.
