[%CFEngine_function_prototype(filename, comment, split, maxentries, maxbytes)%]

Description: Splits the file filename into separated values and returns the list.

The comment field is a multiline regular expression and will strip out unwanted patterns from the file being read, leaving unstripped characters to be split into fields. Using the empty string ("") indicates no comments.

[%CFEngine_function_attributes(filename, comment, split, maxentries, maxbytes)%]

Example:

Prepare:

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(readintlist.cf, #+begin_src prep, .*end_src)%]

Run:

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(readintlist.cf, #+begin_src cfengine3, .*end_src)%]

Output:

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(readintlist.cf, #+begin_src\s+example_output\s*, .*end_src)%]
