tstoy

Synopsis #

A fictional application to demonstrate writing a DSC Resource.

Description #

This is a fictional application with a handful of configuration options defined so you can write a Desired State Configuration (DSC) Resource against a known application.

While a real application could define its own manifest for a DSC Resource, tstoy doesn’t. Instead, the DSC documentation includes example DSC Resources all managing this application but written in different programming languages.

Options #

    --config string          config file
-h, --help                   help for tstoy
    --update-automatically   Specifies whether the app should update automatically
    --update-frequency int   Specifies the frequency window for updates in days.

--config #

This parameter enables you to specify a configuration file to use for the application. When this parameter isn’t specified, the application merges the user-scope configuration over the machine-scope configuration.

-h / --help #

This parameter displays the help info for the current command. When you specify this parameter, the application ignores all other parameters.

--update-automatically #

This flag parameter specifies whether the application should update automatically if the update frequency window has elapsed. When you specify this flag, the value overrides any settings from configuration. If you specify this flag without the =<value> suffix, the value is true.

To set automatic updates to false with this parameter, use this syntax:

tstoy --update-automatically=false

--update-frequency #

This parameter specifies the length of the application’s update frequency window in days. When you specify this parameter, the value overrides any settings from configuration.
