3.8.47 Split

Split = ( character )

The value of this variable is used to define the list separator in variables which are expected to be treated as lists. The default value of this variable is the colon `:'. Cfengine treats variables containing this character as lists to be broken up and iterated over in the following cases:

• in the `to' field of a multiple link action,

• in the `from' field of a copy action,

• in the directory field of a tidy action,

• in the directory field of the files action,

• in the ignore action.

This typically allows communication with PATH-like environment variables in the shell.
