# Fact: blockdevice_<devicename>_size
#
# Purpose:
# Return the size of a block device in bytes.
#
# Resolution:
# Parse the contents of `/sys/block/<device>/size` to receive the size (multiplying by 512 to correct for blocks-to-bytes).
#
# Caveats:
# Only supports Linux 2.6+ at this time, due to the reliance on sysfs.
#
# Fact: blockdevice_<devicename>_vendor
#
# Purpose:
# Return the vendor name of block devices attached to the system.
#
# Resolution:
# Parse the contents of `/sys/block/<device>/device/vendor` to retrieve the vendor for a device.
#
# Caveats:
# Only supports Linux 2.6+ at this time, due to the reliance on sysfs.
#
# Fact: blockdevice_<devicename>_model
#
# Purpose:
# Return the model name of block devices attached to the system.
#
# Resolution:
# Parse the contents of `/sys/block/<device>/device/model` to retrieve the model name/number for a device.
#
# Caveats:
# Only supports Linux 2.6+ at this time, due to the reliance on sysfs.
#
# Fact: blockdevices
#
# Purpose:
# Return a comma separated list of block devices.
#
# Resolution:
# Retrieve the block devices that were identified and iterated over in the creation of the blockdevice_ facts.
#
# Caveats:
# Block devices must have been identified using sysfs information.
