      Return one or more pillar entries from the :ref:`in-memory pillar data
      <pillar-in-memory>`.
  
      delimiter
          Delimiter used to traverse nested dictionaries.
  
          .. note::
              This is different from :py:func:`pillar.get
              <salt.modules.pillar.get>` in that no default value can be
              specified. :py:func:`pillar.get <salt.modules.pillar.get>` should
              probably still be used in most cases to retrieve nested pillar
              values, as it is a bit more flexible. One reason to use this
              function instead of :py:func:`pillar.get <salt.modules.pillar.get>`
              however is when it is desirable to retrieve the values of more than
              one key, since :py:func:`pillar.get <salt.modules.pillar.get>` can
              only retrieve one key at a time.

      pillarenv
          If specified, this function will query the master to generate fresh
          pillar data on the fly, specifically from the requested pillar
          environment. Note that this can produce different pillar data than
          executing this function without an environment, as its normal behavior
          is just to return a value from minion's pillar data in memory (which
          can be sourced from more than one pillar environment).
  
          Using this argument will not affect the pillar data in memory. It will
          however be slightly slower and use more resources on the master due to
          the need for the master to generate and send the minion fresh pillar
          data. This tradeoff in performance however allows for the use case
          where pillar data is desired only from a single environment.
