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 +.ft C +$ knife role [ARGUMENT] (options) +.ft P +.fi +.IP Note +Use the \fBknife node\fP subcommand (and the \fBrun_list add node\fP argument) to add a role to a node on the server. +.RE +.SH COMMON OPTIONS +.sp +The following options can be run with all Knife sub\-commands and plug\-ins: +.INDENT 0.0 .TP -\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-with\-uri\fR -Show corresponding URIs -. -.P -List roles\. -. -.SH "SHOW" -\fBknife role show ROLE\fR \fI(options)\fR -. +.B \fB\-c CONFIG\fP, \fB\-\-config CONFIG\fP +The configuration file to use. .TP -\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-attribute ATTR\fR -Show only one attribute -. -.P -Show a specific role\. -. -.SH "CREATE" -\fBknife role create ROLE\fR \fI(options)\fR -. +.B \fB\-\-color\fP +Indicates that colored output will be used. .TP -\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-description\fR -The role description -. -.P -Create a new role\. -. -.SH "EDIT" -\fBknife role edit ROLE\fR \fI(options)\fR -. -.P -Edit a role\. -. -.SH "FROM FILE" -\fBknife role from file FILE\fR \fI(options)\fR -. -.P -Create or update a role from a role Ruby DSL (\fB\.rb\fR) or JSON file\. -. -.SH "DELETE" -\fBknife role delete ROLE\fR \fI(options)\fR -. -.P -Delete a role\. -. -.SH "BULK DELETE" -\fBknife role bulk delete REGEX\fR \fI(options)\fR -. -.P -Delete roles on the Chef Server based on a regular expression\.
