Types can be explicitly included with the --include flag.

Example

--exclude=scripts will cause the command to not run scripts and --exclude=encrypted will exclude encrypted files.

-i, --include types

Include target state entries of specific types. The default is all.

Types can be explicitly excluded with the --exclude flag.

Example

--include=files specifies all files.

--init

Regenerate and reload the config file from its template before computing the target state.

-P, --parent-dirs

Execute the command on target and all its parent directories.
