As Ben and Josh stated you need to use json or yaml output to get datatypes
other than strings. The docs are still out of date on this supported
feature.
Here is an example of the difference:
key value output only parses strings:
$ cat butter
#!/bin/bash
echo 'butter=false'
$ facter --json butter
{
"butter": "false"
}
yaml output parses yaml datatypes
$ cat bubbles
#!/bin/bash
cat <<'EOF'
---
bubbles: false
EOF
$ facter --json bubbles
{
"bubbles": false
}
--
