+# Man pages for Knife
+
+The source of the Chef Documentation, located at http://docs.opscode.com/.
+
+This README documents how the man pages for all of the Knife subcommands that are built into the chef-client are managed.
+
+## Source Files
+
+The source files are located in the chef-docs repository: https://github.com/opscode/chef-docs
+
+Each Knife subcommand has its own source folder. The folder naming pattern begins with man_.
+
+Each man page is a single file called index.html.
+
+In the conf.py file, the following settings are unique to each man page:
+
+`today` setting is used to define the Chef version. This is because we don't want an arbitrary date populated in the file, yet we still need a version number. For example: `today = 'Chef 11.8`. 
+
+`project` setting is set to be the same as the name of the subcommand. For example: `project = u'knife-foo'`.
+
+`Options for man page output` settings are set to be similar across all man pages, but each one needs to be tailored specifically for the name of the man page.
+
+All of the other settings in the General Configuration section should be left alone. These exist to ensure that all of the doc builds are sharing the right common elements and have the same overall presentation.
+
+## Building Docs
+
+The docs are built using Sphinx and must be set to the `-b man` output. Currently, the man pages are built locally and then added to the Chef builds in chef-master.
+
+## Editing
+
+These files should never be edited. All of the content is pulled in from elsewhere in the chef-docs repo at build time. If changes need to be made, those changes are done elsewhere and then the man pages must be rebuilt. This is to help ensure that all of the changes are made across all of the locations in which these documents need to live. For example, by design, every Knife subcommand with a man page also has an HTML doc at docs.opscode.com/knife_foo.html.

+A bootstrap is a process that installs the chef\-client on a target system so that it can run as a chef\-client and communicate with a server.
+.sp
+The \fBknife bootstrap\fP subcommand is used run a bootstrap operation that installs the chef\-client on the target system. The bootstrap operation must specify the IP address or FQDN of the target system.
+.IP Note
+To bootstrap the chef\-client on Microsoft Windows machines, the \fI\%knife-windows\fP plugins is required, which includes the necessary bootstrap scripts that are used to do the actual installation.

-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-Performs a Chef Bootstrap on the target node\. The goal of the bootstrap is to get Chef installed on the target system so it can run Chef Client with a Chef Server\. The main assumption is a baseline OS installation exists\. This sub\-command is used internally by some cloud computing plugins\.
-.
-.P
-The bootstrap sub\-command supports supplying a template to perform the bootstrap steps\. If the distro is not specified (via \fB\-d\fR or \fB\-\-distro\fR option), an Ubuntu 10\.04 host bootstrapped with RubyGems is assumed\. The \fBDISTRO\fR value corresponds to the base filename of the template, in other words \fBDISTRO\fR\.erb\. A template file can be specified with the \fB\-\-template\-file\fR option in which case the \fBDISTRO\fR is not used\. The sub\-command looks in the following locations for the template to use:
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-\fBbootstrap\fR directory in the installed Chef Knife library\.
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-\fBbootstrap\fR directory in the \fB$PWD/\.chef\fR\.
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-\fBbootstrap\fR directory in the users \fB$HOME/\.chef\fR\.
-.
-.IP "" 0
-.
-.P
-The default bootstrap templates are scripts that get copied to the target node (FQDN)\. The following distros are supported:
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-centos5\-gems
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-fedora13\-gems
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-ubuntu10\.04\-gems
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-ubuntu10\.04\-apt
-.
-.IP "" 0
-.
-.P
-The gems installations will use RubyGems 1\.3\.6 and Chef installed as a gem\. The apt installation will use the Opscode APT repository\.
-.
-.P
-In addition to handling the software installation, these bootstrap templates do the following:
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-Write the validation\.pem per the local knife configuration\.
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-Write a default config file for Chef (\fB/etc/chef/client\.rb\fR) using values from the \fBknife\.rb\fR\.
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-Create a JSON attributes file containing the specified run list and run Chef\.
-.
-.IP "" 0
-.
-.P
-In the case of the RubyGems, the \fBclient\.rb\fR will be written from scratch with a minimal set of values; see \fBEXAMPLES\fR\. In the case of APT Package installation, \fBclient\.rb\fR will have the \fBvalidation_client_name\fR appended if it is not set to \fBchef\-validator\fR (default config value), and the \fBnode_name\fR will be added if \fBchef_node_name\fR option is specified\.
-.
-.P
-When this is complete, the bootstrapped node will have:
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-Latest Chef version installed from RubyGems or APT Packages from Opscode\. This may be a later version than the local system\.
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-Be validated with the configured Chef Server\.
-.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-Have run Chef with its default run list if one is specfied\.
-.
-.IP "" 0
-.
-.P
-Additional custom bootstrap templates can be created and stored in \fB\.chef/bootstrap/DISTRO\.erb\fR, replacing \fBDISTRO\fR with the value passed with the \fB\-d\fR or \fB\-\-distro\fR option\. See \fBEXAMPLES\fR for more information\.
-.
-.SH "EXAMPLES"
-Setting up a custom bootstrap is fairly straightforward\. Create a \fB\.chef/bootstrap\fR directory in your Chef Repository or in \fB$HOME/\.chef/bootstrap\fR\. Then create the ERB template file\.
-.
-.IP "" 4

+.B \fB\-s URL\fP, \fB\-\-server\-url URL\fP
+The URL for the server.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-u USER\fP, \fB\-\-user USER\fP
+The user name used by Knife to sign requests made by the API client to the server. Authentication will fail if the user name does not match the private key.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-v\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP
+The version of the chef\-client.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-verbose\fP
+Set for more verbose outputs. Use \fB\-VV\fP for maximum verbosity.

+.sp
+When a node runs the chef\-client for the first time, it generally does not yet have an API client identity, and so it cannot make authenticated requests to the server. This is where the validation client\-\-\-known as the chef\-validator\-\-\-comes in. When the chef\-client runs, it checks if it has a client key. If the client key does not exist, it then attempts to borrow the identity of the chef\-validator to register itself with the server. In order to register with the server, the private key for the chef\-validator needs to be copied to the host and placed in /etc/chef/validation.pem.
+.sp
+Once the chef\-client has registered itself with the server, it no longer uses the validation client for anything. It is recommended that you delete the private key for the chef\-validator from the host after the host has registered or use the \fBdelete_validation\fP recipe that can be found in the \fBchef\-client\fP cookbook (\fI\%https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/chef-client\fP).
+.sp
+The \fBknife client\fP subcommand is used to manage an API client list and their associated RSA public key\-pairs. This allows authentication requests to be made to the server by any entity that uses the Chef Server API, such as the chef\-client and Knife.
+.sp
+This subcommand has the following syntax:
+.sp
+.nf

-.P
-Create a new client\. This generates an RSA keypair\. The private key will be displayed on \fISTDOUT\fR or written to the named file\. The public half will be stored on the Server\. For \fIchef\-client\fR systems, the private key should be copied to the system as \fB/etc/chef/client\.pem\fR\.
-.

-Show a client\. Output format is determined by the \-\-format option\.
-.
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-Clients are identities used for communication with the Chef Server API, roughly equivalent to user accounts on the Chef Server, except that clients only communicate with the Chef Server API and are authenticated via request signatures\.
-.
-.P
-In the typical case, there will be one client object on the server for each node, and the corresponding client and node will have identical names\.
-.
-.P
-In the Chef authorization model, there is one special client, the "validator", which is authorized to create new non\-administrative clients but has minimal privileges otherwise\.

-Cookbooks are the fundamental unit of distribution in Chef\. They encapsulate all recipes of resources and assets used to configure a particular aspect of the infrastructure\. The following sub\-commands can be used to manipulate the cookbooks stored on the Chef Server\.
-.
-.P
-On disk, cookbooks are directories with a defined structure\. The following directories may appear within a cookbook:
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/attributes/
-Ruby files that define default parameters to be used in recipes
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/definitions/
-Ruby files that contain \fIresource definitions\fR
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/files/SPECIFICITY
-Files of arbitrary type\. These files may be downloaded by chef\-client(8) when configuring a host\.
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/libraries/
-Ruby files that contain library code needed for recipes
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/providers/
-Ruby files that contain Lightweight Provider definitions
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/recipes/
-Ruby files that use Chef\'s recipe DSL to describe the desired configuration of a system
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/resources/
-Ruby files that contain Lightweight Resource definitions
-.
-.TP
-COOKBOOK/templates/SPECIFICITY
-ERuby (ERb) template files\. These are referenced by \fIrecipes\fR and evaluated to dynamically generate configuration files\.
-.
-.P
-\fBSPECIFICITY\fR is a feature of \fIfiles\fR and \fItemplates\fR that allow you to specify alternate files to be used on a specific OS platform or host\. The default specificity setting is \fIdefault\fR, that is files in \fBCOOKBOOK/files/default\fR will be used when a more specific copy is not available\. Further documentation for this feature is available on the Chef wiki: \fIhttp://wiki\.opscode\.com/display/chef/File+Distribution#FileDistribution\-FileSpecificity\fR
-.
-.P
-Cookbooks also contain a metadata file that defines various properties of the cookbook\. The most important of these are the \fIversion\fR and the \fIdependencies\fR\. The \fIversion\fR is used in combination with environments to select which copy of a given cookbook is distributed to a node\. The \fIdependencies\fR are used by the server to determine which additional cookbooks must be distributed to a given host when it requires a cookbook\.

+A data bag is a global variable that is stored as JSON data and is accessible from a server. A data bag is indexed for searching and can be loaded by a recipe or accessed during a search. The contents of a data bag can vary, but they often include sensitive information (such as database passwords).
+.sp
+The contents of a data bag can be encrypted using \fI\%shared secret encryption\fP. This allows a data bag to store confidential information (such as a database password) or to be managed in a source control system (without plain\-text data appearing in revision history).
+.sp
+The \fBknife data bag\fP subcommand is used to manage arbitrary stores of globally available JSON data.
+.sp
+This subcommand has the following syntax:
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+$ knife data bag [ARGUMENT] (options)
+.ft P
+.fi
+.SH COMMON OPTIONS
+.sp
+The following options can be run with all Knife sub\-commands and plug\-ins:
+.INDENT 0.0

 .TP
-\fB\-\-secret\-file SECRET_FILE\fR
-The path to a file containing the secret key to be used to encrypt the data bag item\.
-.
-.P
-Load a data bag item from a JSON file\. If \fIfile\fR is a relative or absolute path to the file, that file will be used\. Otherwise, the \fIfile\fR parameter is treated as the base name of a data bag file in a Chef repository, and \fBknife\fR will search for the file in \fB\./data_bags/bag_name/file\fR\. For example \fBknife data bag from file users dan\.json\fR would attempt to load the file \fB\./data_bags/users/dan\.json\fR\.
-.

-.P
-Show a specific data bag or an item in a data bag\. The output will be formatted according to the \-\-format option\.
-.
-.SH "ENCRYPTION SUPPORT"
-Data Bag Items may be encrypted to keep their contents secret\. This may be desireable when storing sensitive information such as database passwords, API keys, etc\.
-.
-.P
-Data Bag Item encryption uses the AES\-256 CBC symmetric key algorithm\.
-.
-.P
-\fBCAVEATS:\fR Keys are not encrypted; only values are encrypted\. The "id" of a Data Bag Item is not encrypted, since it is used by Chef Server to store the item in its database\. For example, given the following data bag item: {"id": "important_passwords", "secret_password": "opensesame"} The key "secret_password" will be visible to an evesdropper, but the value "opensesame" will be protected\. Both the key "id" and its value "important_passwords" will be visible to an evesdropper\.

+The \fBknife download\fP subcommand is used to download roles, cookbooks, environments, nodes, and data bags from the server to the current working directory.. It can be used to back up data on the server, inspect the state of one or more files, or to extract out\-of\-process changes users may have made to files on the server, such as if a user made a change that bypassed version source control. This subcommand is often used in conjunction with \fBknife diff\fP, which can be used to see exactly what changes will be downloaded, and then \fBknife upload\fP, which does the opposite of \fBknife download\fP.

-.

-.
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-Environments provide a means to apply policies to hosts in your infrastructure based on business function\. For example, you may have a separate copy of your infrastructure called "dev" that runs the latest version of your application and should use the newest versions of your cookbooks when configuring systems, and a production instance of your infrastructure where you wish to update code and cookbooks in a more controlled fashion\. In Chef, this function is implemented with \fIenvironments\fR\.
-.
-.P
-Environments contain two major components: a set of cookbook version constraints and environment attributes\.
-.
-.SH "SYNTAX"
-A cookbook version constraint is comprised of a \fIcookbook name\fR and a \fIversion constraint\fR\. The \fIcookbook name\fR is the name of a cookbook in your system, and the \fIversion constraint\fR is a String describing the version(s) of that cookbook allowed in the environment\. Only one \fIversion constraint\fR is supported for a given \fIcookbook name\fR\.
-.
-.P
-The exact syntax used to define a cookbook version constraint varies depending on whether you use the JSON format or the Ruby format\. In the JSON format, the cookbook version constraints for an environment are represented as a single JSON object, like this:
-.
-.IP "" 4
-.
-.nf
-
-{"apache2": ">= 1\.5\.0"}
-.
-.fi
-.
-.IP "" 0
-.
-.P

+An environment is a way to map an organization\(aqs real\-life workflow to what can be configured and managed when using server. Every organization begins with a single environment called the \fB_default\fP environment, which cannot be modified (or deleted). Additional environments can be created to reflect each organization\(aqs patterns and workflow. For example, creating \fBproduction\fP, \fBstaging\fP, \fBtesting\fP, and \fBdevelopment\fP environments. Generally, an environment is also associated with one (or more) cookbook versions.
+.sp
+The \fBknife environment\fP subcommand is used to manage environments within a single organization on the server.
+.sp
+This subcommand has the following syntax:
+.sp

+The \fBknife exec\fP subcommand uses the Knife configuration file to execute Ruby scripts in the context of a fully configured chef\-client. This subcommand is most often used to run scripts that will only access server one time (or otherwise very infrequently). Use this subcommand any time that an operation does not warrant full usage of the Knife subcommand library.

+For Ruby scripts that will be run using the \fBexec\fP subcommand, note the following:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5

+.IP \(bu 2
+The Ruby script must be located on the system from which Knife is run (and not be located on any of the systems that Knife will be managing).
+.IP \(bu 2
+Shell commands will be run from a management workstation. For example, something like \fB%x[ls \-lash /opt/only\-on\-a\-node]\fP would give you the directory listing for the "opt/only\-on\-a\-node" directory or a "No such file or directory" error if the file does not already exist locally.

-.
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-\fBknife\fR \fBnode\fR \fIsub\-command\fR \fI(options)\fR
-.
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-Nodes are data structures that represent hosts configured with Chef\. Nodes have a \fBname\fR, a String that uniquely identifies the node, \fBattributes\fR, a nested Hash of properties that describe how the host should be configured, a \fBchef_environment\fR, a String representing the environment to which the node belongs, and a \fBrun_list\fR, an ordered list of \fBrecipes\fR or \fBroles\fR that chef\-client should apply when configuring a host\.
-.
-.P
-When a host communicates with a Chef Server, it authenticates using its \fBnode_name\fR for identification and signs its reqests with a private key\. The Server validates the request by looking up a \fBclient\fR object with a name identical to the \fBnode_name\fR submitted with the request and verifes the signature using the public key for that \fBclient\fR object\. \fBNOTE\fR that the \fBclient\fR is a different object in the system\. It is associated with a node by virtue of having a matching name\.
-.
-.P
-By default \fBchef\-client\fR(8) will create a node using the FQDN of the host for the node name, though this may be overridden by configuration settings\.

-.
-.SH "CREATE"
-\fBknife node create\fR \fIname\fR \fI(options)\fR
-.
-.P
-Create a new node\. Unless the \-\-disable\-editing option is given, an empty node object will be created and displayed in your text editor\. If the editor exits with a successful exit status, the node data will be posted to the Chef Server to create the node\.

+A role is a way to define certain patterns and processes that exist across nodes in an organization as belonging to a single job function. Each role consists of zero (or more) attributes and a run list. Each node can have zero (or more) roles assigned to it. When a role is run against a node, the configuration details of that node are compared against the attributes of the role, and then the contents of that role\(aqs run list are applied to the node\(aqs configuration details. When a chef\-client runs, it merges its own attributes and run lists with those contained within each assigned role.
+.sp
+The \fBknife role\fP subcommand is used to manage the roles that are associated with one or more nodes on a server.
+.sp
+This subcommand has the following syntax:
+.sp
+.nf

+$ knife role [ARGUMENT] (options)

-Roles provide a mechanism to group repeated configuration settings\. Roles are data structures that contain \fBdefault_attributes\fR, and \fBoverride_attributes\fR, which are nested hashes of configuration settings, and a \fBrun_list\fR, which is an ordered list of recipes and roles that should be applied to a host by chef\-client\.
-.
-.P
-\fBdefault_attributes\fR will be overridden if they conflict with a value on a node that includes the role\. Conversely, \fBoverride_attributes\fR will override any values set on nodes that apply them\.
-.
-.P

+Search indexes allow queries to be made for any type of data that is indexed by the server, including data bags (and data bag items), environments, nodes, and roles. A defined query syntax is used to support search patterns like exact, wildcard, range, and fuzzy. A search is a full\-text query that can be done from several locations, including from within a recipe, by using the \fBsearch\fP subcommand in Knife, by using the search functionality in the Management Console, or by using the \fB/search\fP or \fB/search/INDEX\fP endpoints in the Chef Server API. The search engine is based on Apache Solr and is run from the server.
