NAME
       cf-know - cfengine's knowledge agent

SYNOPSIS:
        cf-know [options]

DESCRIPTION:
       The knowledge management agent is capable of building and analysing a
       semantic knowledge network. It can configure a relational database to
       contain an ISO standard topic map and permit regular-expression based
       searching of the map. Analysis of the semantic network can be performed
       providing graphical output of the data, and cf-know can assemble and
       converge the reference manual for the current version of the Cfengine
       software.  cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change
       management based system. You can think of.B cfengine as a very high
       level language, much higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement
       is called a promise, and compliance can result in many hundreds of
       filesbeing created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles being
       set. The idea of .B cfengine is to create a one or more sets of
       configuration files which willclassify and describe the setup of every
       host in a network.
