* 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
* Reminder that lookup(‘file’) can be used
Sometimes the block of text does not easily fit into a playbook, so this acts as a reminder (or a prompt for anyone who hasn't used this before) that the content could be stored in an separate file.
I've also included `backup: yes` as I think this is a good example of where a backup might be needed.
* Correct the not so "smart quotes"
* Update blockinfile.py
Replace – with an an ASCII -
* Update validate-modules
* Validates ANSIBLE_METADATA
* Ensures imports happen after documentation vars
* Some pep8 cleanup
* Clean up some left over unneeded code
* Update modules for new module guidelines and validate-modules checks
* Update imports for ec2_vpc_route_table and ec2_vpc_nat_gateway
The following playbook:
```yaml
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- file:
path: /tmp/non-existing-foo-bar
state: absent
recurse: yes
```
causes this error:
```
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "recurse option requires state to be 'directory'", "path": "/tmp/non-existing-foo-bar", "state": "absent"}
```
The included fix ensures that when recurse is added, we no longer assume
it is a file, but accept that it is a directory.
when using "state: link", and particularly when using
"force: yes".
Symbolic link resolution can be expensive. In our case,
the symbolic links are legacy links to automounts, and
the "file" task was causing all of the legacy links to
be traversed and mounted on every host every time the
task executed, even when the links were correct and there
was nothing to do.
This change avoids the system calls that perform the
symbolic link resolution by taking advantage of the short
circuit behaviur of the boolean "and" operator. The code
behaviour is unchanged except that it no longer performs
unnecessary system calls.
As it turns out, this change is not sufficient to fully
solve the symbolic link resolution problem, as the "file"
module still performs a stat() at the end of execution to
provide the caller with information about the file.
However, this change is very simple, it will eliminate
unnecessary system calls in a number of use cases, and it
gets the "file" module closer to the desired end result.
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
