### Attributes

name_args[RW]
ui[RW]

### Public Class Methods

category(new_category) click to toggle source

Explicitly set the category for the current command to `new_category` The category is normally determined from the first word of the command name, but some commands make more sense using two or more words

### Arguments

new_category: | A String to set the category to (see examples)

### Examples:

Data bag commands would be in the 'data' category by default. To put them in the 'data bag' category:

    category('data bag')

    # File lib/chef/knife.rb, line 93
    def self.category(new_category)
      @category = new_category
