 # Test whether a given class or definition is defined
 Puppet::Parser::Functions::newfunction(:defined, :type => :rvalue, :arity => -2, :doc => "Determine whether
   a given class or resource type is defined. This function can also determine whether a
   specific resource has been declared. Returns true or false. Accepts class names,
   type names, and resource references.
 
   The `defined` function checks both native and defined types, including types
   provided as plugins via modules. Types and classes are both checked using their names:
 
       defined(\"file\")
       defined(\"customtype\")
       defined(\"foo\")
       defined(\"foo::bar\")
 
   Resource declarations are checked using resource references, e.g.
   `defined( File['/tmp/myfile'] )`. Checking whether a given resource
   has been declared is, unfortunately, dependent on the parse order of
   the configuration, and the following code will not work:
 
       if defined(File['/tmp/foo']) {
-          notify(\"This configuration includes the /tmp/foo file.\")
+          notify { \"This configuration includes the /tmp/foo file.\":}
       }
-      file {\"/tmp/foo\":
+      file { \"/tmp/foo\":
           ensure => present,
       }
 
   However, this order requirement refers to parse order only, and ordering of
   resources in the configuration graph (e.g. with `before` or `require`) does not
   affect the behavior of `defined`.") do |vals|
     result = false
     vals = [vals] unless vals.is_a?(Array)
     vals.each do |val|
       case val
       when String
         if Puppet::Type.type(val) or find_definition(val) or find_hostclass(val)
           result = true
           break
         end
       when Puppet::Resource
         if findresource(val.to_s)
           result = true
           break
         end
       else
         raise ArgumentError, "Invalid argument of type '#{val.class}' to 'defined'"
       end
     end
     result
 end
