======
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.
Running Facter
--------------
Run the `facter` binary on the command for a full list of facts supported on your host.
Adding your own facts
---------------------
See the [Adding Facts](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html) page for details of how to add your own custom facts to Facter.
