Attempt to retrieve the named value from pillar, if the named value is not available return the passed default. The default return is an empty string.

The value can also represent a value in a nested dict using a ":" delimiter for the dict. This means that if a dict in pillar looks like this:

{'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

salt '*' pillar.get pkg:apache

salt '*' pillar.raw
