Puppet users - Oct 2007 - Does the file function copy or sync

Hi, I am using file function to copy a directory & its content to few
servers.

 

I do it below way.  I am not sure whether file uses sync mode or does a
copy of every file over & over when something changes. Bcos when running
the puppet daemon using puppetd -test it takes a while.

 

 

Where can I find a list of function like file, user group etc & what
args to pass 

 

file { "/export":

                        ensure => directory,

                        recurse => true,

                        owner => "web",

                        group => "web",

                        mode  => 744,

                        source =>
"puppet://deepak.silverspringnet.com/repo/export"

                      }
