Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.

set_stats action plugin as reference implementation
added doc stub
display stats in calblack
made custom stats showing configurable
Sudoers is a great example to show how you can prevent shutting yourself
out. But SSHd is at least as important to avoid syntax errors causing a
lot of grieve. So I think it deserves a spot in this list :-)
- Adds the 'link' file_type for finding symbolic or hard links
- Use `os.lstat` instead of `os.stat` to prevent the following
of links when statting the file.

The new create option with the default value 'no' changes the
behavior from the previous Ansible releases. Change the default to
'yes' to create missing ini files by default.
Fixes: #5488
This fixes the behavior that the dest is directory,
when we set the "force: no" argument.
To be join the dest and the src's basename,
before checking the "force" argument.
In the description of the find module return value, the sample dict
has its key=value strings converted to key=value: None in the
web documentation. This commit updates the sample output to a 'real'
dict.
Minor additional edit in the description: "return list *of* files".
make format function 'format only'
added platform dependant info, when it is available
avoid rechecking same info
added comments to each info gathering section
(cherry picked from commit a79acf73d7eb79b76d808ff8a1d6c505dfd9ec82)
Since the module use re and os, we need to import them.
And rather than importing '*', we should limit to the
only object/function needed, so we can more easily refactor
later.
Since handler.files_in_archive is a list of files coming from
various executables output, that's a bytes list, and we use it
with dest who is a str. So we need to convert that to native
type.
Fixes#4063.
Tar does not use this parameter on extraction (-x) or diff (-d)(the
only two cases where it is passed in unarchive). It only uses it on
creation:
https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_33.html
Providing `unarchive` with a file mode of `0755` (octal) makes it pass
the argument `--mode 493` (493 = 0755 in decimal) to `tar`, which then
fails while verifying it (because it contains an invalid octal char
'9'). Not passing the parameter to tar solves the issue.
This means we will have to unarchive the complete archive if a single change is found.
Unfortunately we cannot fix this for `unzip`, the only hope is a pure-python reimplementation.
This fixes problems reported in the comments of #3810
* Ensure unicode characters in zip-compressed filenames work correctly
Another corner-case we are fixing hoping it doesn't break anything else.
This fixes:
- The correct encoding of unicode paths internally (so the filenames we scrape from the output and is returned by zipfile match)
- Disable LANG=C for the unzip command (because it breaks the unicode output, unlike on gtar)
* Fix for python3 and other suggestions from @abadger
* Python3 fixes to copy, file, and stat so that the connection integration tests can be run
* Forgot to audit the helper functions as well.
* Fix dest to refledt b_dest (found by @mattclay)
On python3, we want to use the surrogateescape error handler if
available for filesystem paths and the like. On python2, have to use
strict in these circumstances. Use the new error strategy for to_text,
to_bytes, and to_native that allows this.
Lineinfile deals heavily with Unic text files. Makes some sense to deal
with it all as byte strings. So there is a lot of work done here to
show that we're dealing with byte strings throughout.
* Improve the correct handling of gtar and unzip options
Add the option --show-transformed-names when extra_opts is being used
Ignore bogus warnings related to empty filenames
Properly quote _and_ escape filenames for unzip command
Rewrite gtar options and provide run_command with array, not string
This fixes#2480 and #4109.
* Make check-mode work for zip-files
Check-mode was disabled for zip-files since gtar did not support it.
This change enables check-mode support for zip-files, but does skip the task when used with gtar.
(Best of both worlds)
Also remove unused compress_mode variable.
This replaces PR #4401, the changes overlap somewhat so I merged them
* FreeBSD do not support --omit-header and --absolute-names
* The option for following symlink wth getfacl is different on FreeBSD
* ZFS on Freebsd use nfsv4 acls, who use a slightly different syntax
* FreeBSD do not have a --test flag, so always return 'True'
* FreeBSD do not have the --omit-headers options, so we have to filter by ourself
* Mark Freebsd as working for the acl module
When you try to remote unarchive files with the option copy=no the code always fail, as evidenced in issue #4202. That happens because the conditional to check "if remote_src=no or copy=yes" will always be true since the default value of them is remote_src=no and copy=yes.
My modification is only to change the condition from or to and, that way only if both the vars stay with the default value will be true, otherwise you can unarchive remote files.
A capital "S" appears when the the setuid or setgid bit are set but have no effect. Likewise, a capital "T" appears when the sticky bit is set but it has no effect.
* Revert PR #3575 since it causes problems related to exclude patterns
By using a different method for getting archive filelists, and extracting we introduced new problems related to excluding based on gtar patterns.
As a result files that would be excluded by gtar, would still be in the filelist. Implementing our own gtar compatible pattern exclusion mechanism is near to impossible (believe me, we looked at it...). The best way is to look at the original problem and deal with that, and ensure that extraction and filelists are done with the exact same tool and exact same options.
The solution is to decode the octal unicode representation in gtar's output back to unicode. Since gtar has no problem extracting these files in LANG=C, we simply has to compensate for it.
This reverts #3575 and fixes#11348.
* Implement codecs.escape_decode() instead of decode("string_escape") for python3
* A few more sanity checks for detecting unzip output that's not a file entry
Also note that there's a rounding error somewhere in the mtime
comparison code.
* Fix reference to sub-array
The example for delete=yes does not specify recursive although it is
required. In addition, the wording for the delete option is confusing
about from where files are really deleted. This should clarify that.
