Puppet users - Jul 2009 - command to list intra-class references?

Hi,

If I have a resource in a class like

file { somefile:
         ensure => present,
        ... }

Is there a puppet command to list any reference to it, e.g. -
" require => File[somefile] "
- among all the class definitions?

Of course there''s always unix grep, but a puppet command would be
nicer.

TIA

John

You can use --graph to produce a .dot file with all resources from a 
given compilation. Since references know both variables and aliases, 
grep won''t suffice anyways and I''m not sure even puppet could
answer
this in the general case (think external nodes bringing in unknown 
variables).

Thanks, and sorry for the delay. I''m guessing that''s
"puppet --graph" on the
client, correct? I''ve tried such on both the client and server (which
is a
client to itself I suppose) but it just hangs there for a long time. Finally
just kill the command.
