-Combine coverage data from multiple jobs, keeping the data only from the most recent attempt from each job.
-Coverage artifacts must be named using the format: "Coverage $(System.JobAttempt) {StableUniqueNameForEachJob}"
-The recommended coverage artifact name format is: Coverage $(System.JobAttempt) $(System.StageDisplayName) $(System.JobDisplayName)
-Keep in mind that Azure Pipelines does not enforce unique job display names (only names).

 * Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
 * Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
 * Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged.

Also make sure the fragment ends with a period, and begins with a lower-case letter after `-`. (Again, if you don't do this, we'll add suggestions to fix it, so don't worry too much :) )

-Integration tests on Docker have the following parameters:
-- `image_name` (required): The name of the Docker image. To get the list of supported Docker images, run

-- `test_name` (optional): The name of the integration test.  
-  For modules, this equals the short name of the module; for example, `pacman` in case of `community.general.pacman`.  
-  For plugins, the plugin type is added before the plugin's short name, for example `callback_yaml` for the `community.general.yaml` callback.

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

-Union, intersection and difference of lists
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Starting with Ansible Core 2.16, the builtin filters :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.union#filter`, :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.intersect#filter`, :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.difference#filter` and :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.symmetric_difference#filter` began to behave differently and do no longer preserve the item order. Items in the resulting lists are returned in arbitrary order and the order can vary between subsequent runs.
-
-The Ansible community.general collection provides the following additional list filters:
-
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_union#filter`
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_intersect#filter`
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_difference#filter`
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_symmetric_difference#filter`
-
-These filters preserve the item order, eliminate duplicates and are an extended version of the builtin ones, because they can operate on more than two lists.
-
-.. note:: Stick to the builtin filters, when item order is not important or when you do not need the n-ary operating mode. The builtin filters are faster, because they rely mostly on sets as their underlying datastructure.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  A: [9, 5, 7, 1, 9, 4, 10, 5, 9, 7]
-  B: [4, 1, 2, 8, 3, 1, 7]
-  C: [10, 2, 1, 9, 1]
-
-The union of ``A`` and ``B`` can be written as:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_union(B) }}"
-
-This statement produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result: [9, 5, 7, 1, 4, 10, 2, 8, 3]
-
-If you want to calculate the intersection of ``A``, ``B`` and ``C``, you can use the following statement:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_intersect(B, C) }}"
-
-Alternatively, you can use a list of lists as an input of the filter
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ [A, B] | community.general.lists_intersect(C) }}"
-
-or
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ [A, B, C] | community.general.lists_intersect(flatten=true) }}"
-
-All three statements are equivalent and give:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result: [1]
-
-.. note:: Be aware that in most cases, filter calls without any argument require ``flatten=true``, otherwise the input is returned as result. The reason for this is, that the input is considered as a variable argument and is wrapped by an additional outer list. ``flatten=true`` ensures that this list is removed before the input is processed by the filter logic.
-
-The filters :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_difference#filter` or :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_symmetric_difference#filter` can be used in the same way as the filters in the examples above. They calculate the difference or the symmetric difference between two or more lists and preserve the item order.
-
-For example, the symmetric difference of ``A``, ``B`` and ``C`` may be written as:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_symmetric_difference(B, C) }}"
-
-This gives:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result: [5, 8, 3, 1]

-Alibaba Cloud Compute Services Guide
-====================================
-
-Introduction
-````````````
-
-The community.general collection contains several modules for controlling and managing Alibaba Cloud Compute Services (Alicloud).  This guide
-explains how to use the Alicloud Ansible modules together.
-
-All Alicloud modules require ``footmark`` - install it on your control machine with ``pip install footmark``.
-
-Cloud modules, including Alicloud modules, are usually executed on your local machine (the control machine) with ``connection: local``, rather than on remote machines defined in your hosts.
-
-Normally, you'll use the following pattern for plays that provision Alicloud resources:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    - hosts: localhost
-      connection: local
-      vars:
-        - ...
-      tasks:
-        - ...
-
-Authentication
-``````````````
-
-You can specify your Alicloud authentication credentials (access key and secret key) by passing them as
-environment variables or by storing them in a vars file.
-
-To pass authentication credentials as environment variables:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    export ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY='Alicloud123'
-    export ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY='AlicloudSecret123'
-
-To store authentication credentials in a vars file, encrypt them with :ref:`Ansible Vault <vault>` to keep them secure, then list them:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    ---
-    alicloud_access_key: "--REMOVED--"
-    alicloud_secret_key: "--REMOVED--"
-
-Note that if you store your credentials in a vars file, you need to refer to them in each Alicloud module. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - community.general.ali_instance:
-        alicloud_access_key: "{{ alicloud_access_key }}"
-        alicloud_secret_key: "{{ alicloud_secret_key }}"
-        image_id: "..."
-
-Provisioning
-````````````
-
-Alicloud modules create Alicloud ECS instances (:ansplugin:`community.general.ali_instance#module`) and retrieve information on these (:ansplugin:`community.general.ali_instance_info#module`).
-
-You can use the ``count`` parameter to control the number of resources you create or terminate. For example, if you want exactly 5 instances tagged ``NewECS``, set the ``count`` of instances to 5 and the ``count_tag`` to ``NewECS``, as shown in the last task of the example playbook below. If there are no instances with the tag ``NewECS``, the task creates 5 new instances. If there are 2 instances with that tag, the task creates 3 more. If there are 8 instances with that tag, the task terminates 3 of those instances.
-
-If you do not specify a ``count_tag``, the task creates the number of instances you specify in ``count`` with the ``instance_name`` you provide.
-

-Command Runner guide
-====================
-
-
-Introduction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner`` module util provides the
-``CmdRunner`` class to help execute external commands. The class is a wrapper around
-the standard ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` method, handling command arguments, localization setting,
-output processing output, check mode, and other features.
-
-It is even more useful when one command is used in multiple modules, so that you can define all options
-in a module util file, and each module uses the same runner with different arguments.
-
-For the sake of clarity, throughout this guide, unless otherwise specified, we use the term *option* when referring to
-Ansible module options, and the term *argument* when referring to the command line arguments for the external command.
-
-
-Quickstart
-""""""""""
-
-``CmdRunner`` defines a command and a set of coded instructions on how to format
-the command-line arguments, in which specific order, for a particular execution.
-It relies on ``ansible.module_utils.basic.AnsibleModule.run_command()`` to actually execute the command.
-There are other features, see more details throughout this document.
-
-To use ``CmdRunner`` you must start by creating an object. The example below is a simplified
-version of the actual code in :ansplugin:`community.general.ansible_galaxy_install#module`:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner import CmdRunner, cmd_runner_fmt
-
-    runner = CmdRunner(
-        module,
-        command="ansible-galaxy",
-        arg_formats=dict(
-            type=cmd_runner_fmt.as_func(lambda v: [] if v == 'both' else [v]),
-            galaxy_cmd=cmd_runner_fmt.as_list(),
-            upgrade=cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--upgrade"),
-            requirements_file=cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val('-r'),
-            dest=cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val('-p'),
-            force=cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--force"),
-            no_deps=cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--no-deps"),
-            version=cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed("--version"),
-            name=cmd_runner_fmt.as_list(),
-        )
-    )
-
-This is meant to be done once, then every time you need to execute the command you create a context and pass values as needed:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        # Run the command with these arguments, when values exist for them
-        with runner("type galaxy_cmd upgrade force no_deps dest requirements_file name", output_process=process) as ctx:
-            ctx.run(galaxy_cmd="install", upgrade=upgrade)
-
-        # version is fixed, requires no value
-        with runner("version") as ctx:
-            dummy, stdout, dummy = ctx.run()
-
-        # passes arg 'data' to AnsibleModule.run_command()
-        with runner("type name", data=stdin_data) as ctx:
-            dummy, stdout, dummy = ctx.run()
-
-        # Another way of expressing it
-        dummy, stdout, dummy = runner("version").run()
-
-Note that you can pass values for the arguments when calling ``run()``, otherwise ``CmdRunner``
-uses the module options with the exact same names to provide values for the runner arguments.
-If no value is passed and no module option is found for the name specified, then an exception is raised, unless
-the argument is using ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed`` as format function like the ``version`` in the example above.
-See more about it below.
-
-In the first example, values of ``type``, ``force``, ``no_deps`` and others
-are taken straight from the module, whilst ``galaxy_cmd`` and ``upgrade`` are
-passed explicitly.
-
-.. note::
-
-    It is not possible to automatically retrieve values of suboptions.
-
-That generates a resulting command line similar to (example taken from the
-output of an integration test):
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        [
-            "<venv>/bin/ansible-galaxy",
-            "collection",
-            "install",
-            "--upgrade",
-            "-p",
-            "<collection-install-path>",
-            "netbox.netbox",
-        ]
-
-
-Argument formats
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-As seen in the example, ``CmdRunner`` expects a parameter named ``arg_formats``
-defining how to format each CLI named argument.
-An "argument format" is nothing but a function to transform the value of a variable
-into something formatted for the command line.
-
-
-Argument format function
-""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-An ``arg_format`` function is defined in the form similar to:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def func(value):
-        return ["--some-param-name", value]
-
-The parameter ``value`` can be of any type - although there are convenience
-mechanisms to help handling sequence and mapping objects.
-
-The result is expected to be of the type ``Sequence[str]`` type (most commonly
-``list[str]`` or ``tuple[str]``), otherwise it is considered to be a ``str``,
-and it is coerced into ``list[str]``.
-This resulting sequence of strings is added to the command line when that
-argument is actually used.
-
-For example, if ``func`` returns:
-
-- ``["nee", 2, "shruberries"]``, the command line adds arguments ``"nee" "2" "shruberries"``.
-- ``2 == 2``, the command line adds argument ``True``.
-- ``None``, the command line adds argument ``None``.
-- ``[]``, the command line adds no command line argument for that particular argument.
-
-
-Convenience format methods
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-In the same module as ``CmdRunner`` there is a class ``cmd_runner_fmt`` which
-provides a set of convenience methods that return format functions for common cases.
-In the first block of code in the `Quickstart`_ section you can see the importing of
-that class:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner import CmdRunner, cmd_runner_fmt
-
-The same example shows how to make use of some of them in the instantiation of the ``CmdRunner`` object.
-A description of each one of the convenience methods available and examples of how to use them is found below.
-In these descriptions ``value`` refers to the single parameter passed to the formatting function.
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()``
-    This method does not receive any parameter, function returns ``value`` as-is.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()``
-    - Examples:
-        +----------------------+---------------------+
-        | Value                | Outcome             |
-        +======================+=====================+
-        | ``["foo", "bar"]``   | ``["foo", "bar"]``  |
-        +----------------------+---------------------+
-        | ``"foobar"``         | ``["foobar"]``      |
-        +----------------------+---------------------+
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool()``
-    This method receives two different parameters: ``args_true`` and ``args_false``, latter being optional.
-    If the boolean evaluation of ``value`` is ``True``, the format function returns ``args_true``.
-    If the boolean evaluation is ``False``, then the function returns ``args_false`` if it was provided, or ``[]`` otherwise.
-
-    - Creation (one arg):
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--force")``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+--------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome            |
-        +============+====================+
-        | ``True``   | ``["--force"]``    |
-        +------------+--------------------+
-        | ``False``  | ``[]``             |
-        +------------+--------------------+
-    - Creation (two args, ``None`` treated as ``False``):
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--relax", "--dont-do-it")``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome              |
-        +============+======================+
-        | ``True``   | ``["--relax"]``      |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | ``False``  | ``["--dont-do-it"]`` |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        |            | ``["--dont-do-it"]`` |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-    - Creation (two args, ``None`` is ignored):
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--relax", "--dont-do-it", ignore_none=True)``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome              |
-        +============+======================+
-        | ``True``   | ``["--relax"]``      |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | ``False``  | ``["--dont-do-it"]`` |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        |            | ``[]``               |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool_not()``
-    This method receives one parameter, which is returned by the function when the boolean evaluation
-    of ``value`` is ``False``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool_not("--no-deps")``
-    - Examples:
-        +-------------+---------------------+
-        | Value       | Outcome             |
-        +=============+=====================+
-        | ``True``    | ``[]``              |
-        +-------------+---------------------+
-        | ``False``   | ``["--no-deps"]``   |
-        +-------------+---------------------+
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_optval()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function returns the string concatenation
-    of ``arg`` and ``value``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_optval("-i")``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------------+---------------------+
-        | Value         | Outcome             |
-        +===============+=====================+
-        | ``3``         | ``["-i3"]``         |
-        +---------------+---------------------+
-        | ``foobar``    | ``["-ifoobar"]``    |
-        +---------------+---------------------+
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function returns ``[arg, value]``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val("--name")``
-    - Examples:
-        +--------------+--------------------------+
-        | Value        | Outcome                  |
-        +==============+==========================+
-        | ``abc``      | ``["--name", "abc"]``    |
-        +--------------+--------------------------+
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_eq_val()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function returns the string of the form
-    ``{arg}={value}``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_eq_val("--num-cpus")``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+-------------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome                 |
-        +============+=========================+
-        | ``10``     | ``["--num-cpus=10"]``   |
-        +------------+-------------------------+
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function expects no ``value`` - if one
-    is provided then it is ignored.
-    The function returns ``arg`` as-is.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed("--version")``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------+-----------------------+
-        | Value   | Outcome               |
-        +=========+=======================+
-        |         | ``["--version"]``     |
-        +---------+-----------------------+
-        | 57      | ``["--version"]``     |
-        +---------+-----------------------+
-
-    - Note:
-        This is the only special case in which a value can be missing for the formatting function.
-        The example also comes from the code in `Quickstart`_.
-        In that case, the module has code to determine the command's version so that it can assert compatibility.
-        There is no *value* to be passed for that CLI argument.
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg`` which must be a dictionary, and an optional parameter ``default``.
-    The function returns the evaluation of ``arg[value]``.
-    If ``value not in arg``, then it returns ``default`` if defined, otherwise ``[]``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map(dict(a=1, b=2, c=3), default=42)``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------------------+---------------+
-        | Value               | Outcome       |
-        +=====================+===============+
-        | ``"b"``             | ``["2"]``     |
-        +---------------------+---------------+
-        | ``"yabadabadoo"``   | ``["42"]``    |
-        +---------------------+---------------+
-
-    - Note:
-        If ``default`` is not specified, invalid values return an empty list, meaning they are silently ignored.
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_func()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg`` which is itself is a format function and it must abide by the rules described above.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_func(lambda v: [] if v == 'stable' else ['--channel', '{0}'.format(v)])``
-    - Note:
-        The outcome for that depends entirely on the function provided by the developer.
-
-
-Other features for argument formatting
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-Some additional features are available as decorators:
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.unpack args()``
-    This decorator unpacks the incoming ``value`` as a list of elements.
-
-    For example, in ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.puppet``, it is used as:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          @cmd_runner_fmt.unpack_args
-          def execute_func(execute, manifest):
-              if execute:
-                  return ["--execute", execute]
-              else:
-                  return [manifest]
-
-          runner = CmdRunner(
-              module,
-              command=_prepare_base_cmd(),
-              path_prefix=_PUPPET_PATH_PREFIX,
-              arg_formats=dict(
-                  # ...
-                  _execute=cmd_runner_fmt.as_func(execute_func),
-                  # ...
-              ),
-          )
-
-    Then, in :ansplugin:`community.general.puppet#module` it is put to use with:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          with runner(args_order) as ctx:
-              rc, stdout, stderr = ctx.run(_execute=[p['execute'], p['manifest']])
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.unpack_kwargs()``
-    Conversely, this decorator unpacks the incoming ``value`` as a ``dict``-like object.
-
-- ``cmd_runner_fmt.stack()``
-    This decorator assumes ``value`` is a sequence and concatenates the output
-    of the wrapped function applied to each element of the sequence.
-
-    For example, in :ansplugin:`community.general.django_check#module`, the argument format for ``database``
-    is defined as:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          arg_formats = dict(
-              # ...
-              database=cmd_runner_fmt.stack(cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val)("--database"),
-              # ...
-          )
-
-    When receiving a list ``["abc", "def"]``, the output is:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          ["--database", "abc", "--database", "def"]
-
-
-Command Runner
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Settings that can be passed to the ``CmdRunner`` constructor are:
-
-- ``module: AnsibleModule``
-    Module instance. Mandatory parameter.
-- ``command: str | list[str]``
-    Command to be executed. It can be a single string, the executable name, or a list
-    of strings containing the executable name as the first element and, optionally, fixed parameters.
-    Those parameters are used in all executions of the runner.
-    The *executable* pointed by this parameter (whether itself when ``str`` or its first element when ``list``) is
-    processed using ``AnsibleModule.get_bin_path()`` *unless* it is an absolute path or contains the character ``/``.
-- ``arg_formats: dict``
-    Mapping of argument names to formatting functions.
-- ``default_args_order: str``
-    As the name suggests, a default ordering for the arguments. When
-    this is passed, the context can be created without specifying ``args_order``. Defaults to ``()``.
-- ``check_rc: bool``
-    When ``True``, if the return code from the command is not zero, the module exits
-    with an error. Defaults to ``False``.
-- ``path_prefix: list[str]``
-    If the command being executed is installed in a non-standard directory path,
-    additional paths might be provided to search for the executable. Defaults to ``None``.
-- ``environ_update: dict``
-    Pass additional environment variables to be set during the command execution.
-    Defaults to ``None``.
-- ``force_lang: str``
-    It is usually important to force the locale to one specific value, so that responses are consistent and, therefore, parseable.
-    Please note that using this option (which is enabled by default) overwrites the environment variables ``LANGUAGE`` and ``LC_ALL``.
-    To disable this mechanism, set this parameter to ``None``.
-    In community.general 9.1.0 a special value ``auto`` was introduced for this parameter, with the effect
-    that ``CmdRunner`` then tries to determine the best parseable locale for the runtime.
-    It should become the default value in the future, but for the time being the default value is ``C``.
-
-When creating a context, the additional settings that can be passed to the call are:
-
-- ``args_order: str``
-    Establishes the order in which the arguments are rendered in the command line.
-    This parameter is mandatory unless ``default_args_order`` was provided to the runner instance.
-- ``output_process: func``
-    Function to transform the output of the executable into different values or formats.
-    See examples in section below.
-- ``check_mode_skip: bool``
-    Whether to skip the actual execution of the command when the module is in check mode.
-    Defaults to ``False``.
-- ``check_mode_return: any``
-    If ``check_mode_skip=True``, then return this value instead.
-- valid named arguments to ``AnsibleModule.run_command()``
-    Other than ``args``, any valid argument to ``run_command()`` can be passed when setting up the run context.
-    For example, ``data`` can be used to send information to the command's standard input.
-    Or ``cwd`` can be used to run the command inside a specific working directory.
-
-Additionally, any other valid parameters for ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` may be passed, but unexpected behavior
-might occur if redefining options already present in the runner or its context creation. Use with caution.
-
-
-Processing results
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-As mentioned, ``CmdRunner`` uses ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` to execute the external command,
-and it passes the return value from that method back to caller. That means that,
-by default, the result is going to be a tuple ``(rc, stdout, stderr)``.
-
-If you need to transform or process that output, you can pass a function to the context,
-as the ``output_process`` parameter. It must be a function like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def process(rc, stdout, stderr):
-        # do some magic
-        return processed_value    # whatever that is
-
-In that case, the return of ``run()`` is the ``processed_value`` returned by the function.
-
-
-PythonRunner
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``PythonRunner`` class is a specialized version of ``CmdRunner``, geared towards the execution of
-Python scripts. It features two extra and  mutually exclusive parameters ``python`` and ``venv`` in its constructor:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.python_runner import PythonRunner
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner import cmd_runner_fmt
-
-    runner = PythonRunner(
-        module,
-        command=["-m", "django"],
-        arg_formats=dict(...),
-        python="python",
-        venv="/path/to/some/venv",
-    )
-
-The default value for ``python`` is the string ``python``, and the for ``venv`` it is ``None``.
-
-The command line produced by such a command with ``python="python3.12"`` is something like:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    /usr/bin/python3.12 -m django <arg1> <arg2> ...
-
-And the command line for ``venv="/work/venv"`` is like:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    /work/venv/bin/python -m django <arg1> <arg2> ...
-
-You may provide the value of the ``command`` argument as a string (in that case the string is used as a script name)
-or as a list, in which case the elements of the list must be valid arguments for the Python interpreter, as in the example above.
-See `Command line and environment <https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html>`_ for more details.
-
-If the parameter ``python`` is an absolute path, or contains directory separators, such as ``/``, then it is used
-as-is, otherwise the runtime ``PATH`` is searched for that command name.
-
-Other than that, everything else works as in ``CmdRunner``.

-``deps`` Guide
-==============
-
-
-Using ``deps``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.deps`` module util simplifies
-the importing of code as described in :ref:`Importing and using shared code <shared_code>`.
-Please notice that ``deps`` is meant to be used specifically with Ansible modules, and not other types of plugins.
-
-The same example from the Developer Guide would become:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils import deps
-
-    with deps.declare("foo"):
-        import foo
-
-Then in ``main()``, just after the argspec (or anywhere in the code, for that matter), do
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    deps.validate(module)  # assuming module is a valid AnsibleModule instance
-
-By default, ``deps`` will rely on ``ansible.module_utils.basic.missing_required_lib`` to generate
-a message about a failing import. That function accepts parameters ``reason`` and ``url``, and
-and so does ``deps```:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    with deps.declare("foo", reason="foo is needed to properly bar", url="https://foo.bar.io"):
-        import foo
-
-If you would rather write a custom message instead of using ``missing_required_lib`` then do:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    with deps.declare("foo", msg="Custom msg explaining why foo is needed"):
-        import foo
-
-``deps`` allows for multiple dependencies to be declared:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    with deps.declare("foo"):
-        import foo
-
-    with deps.declare("bar"):
-        import bar
-
-    with deps.declare("doe"):
-        import doe
-
-By default, ``deps.validate()`` will check on all the declared dependencies, but if so desired,
-they can be validated selectively by doing:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    deps.validate(module, "foo")       # only validates the "foo" dependency
-
-    deps.validate(module, "doe:bar")   # only validates the "doe" and "bar" dependencies
-
-    deps.validate(module, "-doe:bar")  # validates all dependencies except "doe" and "bar"
-
-.. versionadded:: 6.1.0
