I think it is a call from the facter API that let's you define the
code to use to get the value for that certain fact you are defining.
>From what I know, it let's you use just ruby code. But from that you
can call bash code too.
For example, you would like a new fact that gives you back your
current shell from your ENV. Add a new .rb file under your "module/
$module_name/lib/facter/" directory:
Facter.add("shell") do
setcode do
%x{echo $SHELL}
end
end
the %x is ruby for execute this shell command.
Now when you run facter you should you have this new fact called
"shell".
