* Add example of templating inline using copy module
The **copy** module documentation implies that `content:` only works
for 'simple values' and for complex stuff you need the **template**
module, but that is an understatement. You can use **copy** to template
anything you desire.
So I changed the wording, added an example, and also added a note
to the template module that the **copy** module could be used for
'inline templating'.
This fixes#19741.
unsafe_writes currently allows updating a file that can be updated but
not removed (for instance, when docker mounted). This change also
allows unsafe_writes to write to writable files in unwritable dirs. For
instance, if a system has made a single file inside of /etc/ writable to
a specific normal user.
Fixes#14961
* We need a directory walker that can handle symlinks, empty directories,
and some other odd needs. This commit contains a directory walker that
can do all that. The walker returns information about the files in the
directories that we can then use to implement different strategies for
copying the files to the remote machines.
* Add local_follow parameter to copy that follows local symlinks (follow
is for remote symlinks)
* Refactor the copying of files out of run into its own method
* Add new integration tests for copy

* Mutually reference Windows and non-Windows modules
To make it easier for Windows or non-Windows users to find the relevant
module information, we are mutually referencing both variants in their
documentation.
We are also adding a special note if a module works on both Windows and
non-Windows targets.

* Replace 'look at' with 'use', as requested
ci_complete
Now that remote-to-remote copies are supported in the copy module,
the module documentation has been updated to indicate this in the
synopsis and examples to make the capability obvious for someone
skimming the documentation.
Reads the directory_mode param as 'raw' type to mirror the same behavior as mode.
This'll cause non-quoted values to be represented as an int, rather than a str.
Covered by 'assert recursive copied directories mode' test.
Fixes#24202
Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
* Avoid having module documentation links to itself
A lot of modules use M(own_module) in their documentation causing a link
in the documentation to itself.
* Make note more clear now
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.
* 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)
This is a further fix for: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/9092
when the relative path contains a subdirectory. Like:
ansible localhost -m copy -a 'src=/etc/group dest=foo/bar/'
This can be tested with this command :
ansible -c local -m copy -a 'src=/etc/group dest=foo/' all
This is a corner case of the algorithm used to find how we should
copy recursively a folder, and this commit detect it and avoid it.
