Method: Chef::Resource.provides

Defined in:
lib/chef/resource.rb

.provides(name, **options, &block) ⇒ Object

Mark this resource as providing particular DSL.

Resources have an automatic DSL based on their resource_name, equivalent to ‘provides :resource_name` (providing the resource on all OS’s). If you declare a provides with the given resource_name, it replaces that provides (so that you can provide your resource DSL only on certain OS’s).
