NAME
       cf-promises - cfengine's promise analyzer

SYNOPSIS:
	cf-promises [options]

DESCRIPTION:
       The  promise  agent  is a validator and analysis tool for configuration
       files belonging to any of the components	 of  Cfengine.	Configurations
       that  make changes must be approved by this validator before being exe‐
       cuted.  cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change  management
       based  system.  You  can	 think of.B cfengine as a very high level lan‐
       guage, much higher level than  Perl  or	shell.	Asingle	 statement  is
       called  a promise, and compliance can result in many hundreds of files‐
       being created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles  being  set.
       The  idea  of .B cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configura‐
       tion files which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a
       network.
