How do I see a catalog from local manifests?

[Robert Inder]

I've taken over a puppet 2.7 setup that does not use a puppet master - we just use puppet-apply on locally stored manifests. I'm trying to re-organise our manifests, and want to avoid changing things unintentionally.

Since manifests are compiled into a catalog before they are applied,  I'm hoping that comparing catalogs before and after I re-organise things will help me spot unintended effects.

But how do I get to see the catalog for a server, as generated from manifests stored in /etc/puppet?

I assume this should be straightforward, and the Man page suggests puppet-catalog will do it, but there is no relevant example, and I can't actually get it to do anything useful.

Help?
