       cdist-new-type  is  a  helper script that creates new type skeleton.  It is then up to the type author to
       finish the type.

       It creates skeletons for the following files:

       • man.rst

       • manifest

       • gencode-remote.

       Upon creation it prints the path to the newly created type directory.

          # Create new type __foo in ~/.cdist directory.
          $ cd ~/.cdist
          $ cdist-new-type '__foo' 'Foo Bar' 'foo.bar at foobar.org'
          /home/foo/.cdist/type/__foo
