 Deprecated Features
 -------------------

-
-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
-----------------------------------------
-
-- Dropped support for ansible-core 2.15. The collection now requires ansible-core 2.16 or newer. This means that on the controller, Python 3.10+ is required. On the target side, Python 2.7 and Python 3.6+ are supported (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10160, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10192).
-- The Proxmox content (modules and plugins) has been moved to the `new collection community.proxmox <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxmox>`__. Since community.general 11.0.0, these modules and plugins have been replaced by deprecated redirections to community.proxmox. You need to explicitly install community.proxmox, for example with ``ansible-galaxy collection install community.proxmox``, or by installing a new enough version of the Ansible community package. We suggest to update your roles and playbooks to use the new FQCNs as soon as possible to avoid getting deprecation messages (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10110).

-- git_config - the ``list_all`` option has been removed. Use the ``community.general.git_config_info`` module instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-- hipchat - the module was removed since the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-- manifold lookup plugin - the plugin was removed since the company was acquired in 2021 and service was ceased afterwards (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).

-- mh.mixins.vars module utils - this module utils has been removed. Use ``VarDict`` from the ``vardict`` module utils instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-- mh.module_helper module utils - ``AnsibleModule`` and ``VarsMixin`` are no longer provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-- mh.module_helper module utils - ``VarDict`` is now imported from the ``vardict`` module utils and no longer from the removed ``mh.mixins.vars`` module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-- mh.module_helper module utils - the attributes ``use_old_vardict`` and ``mute_vardict_deprecation`` from ``ModuleHelper`` have been removed. We suggest to remove them from your modules if you no longer support community.general < 11.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-- module_helper module utils - ``StateMixin``, ``DependencyCtxMgr``, ``VarMeta``, ``VarDict``, and ``VarsMixin`` are no longer provided (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).

-- pipx_info - module no longer supports ``pipx`` older than 1.7.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10137).
-- profitbrick* modules - the modules were removed since the supporting library is unsupported since 2021 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).
-- redfish_utils module utils - the ``_init_session`` method has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10126).

-- redhat_subscription - do not try to unsubscribe (i.e. remove subscriptions)
-  when unregistering a system: newer versions of subscription-manager, as
-  available in EL 10 and Fedora 41+, do not support entitlements anymore, and
-  thus unsubscribing will fail
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9578).
-- redhat_subscription - use the "enable_content" option (when available) when
-  registering using D-Bus, to ensure that subscription-manager enables the
-  content on registration; this is particular important on EL 10+ and Fedora
-  41+
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9778).

-- yaml callback plugin - use ansible-core internals to avoid breakage with Data Tagging (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/9833).
-- yaml callback plugin - when using ansible-core 2.19.0b2 or newer, uses a new utility provided by ansible-core. This allows us to remove all hacks and vendored code that was part of the plugin for ansible-core versions with Data Tagging so far (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10242).
-- zfs - fix handling of multi-line values of user-defined ZFS properties (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6264).

+Minor Changes
+-------------
 
-- community.general.print_task - Prints playbook task snippet to job output.
+- cmd_runner module utils - ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool()`` can now take an extra parameter to format when value is false (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5647).
+- gconftool2 - refactor using ``ModuleHelper`` and ``CmdRunner`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5545).
+- java_certs - add more detailed error output when extracting certificate from PKCS12 fails (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5550).
+- jenkins_plugin - refactor code to module util to fix sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5565).
+- lxd_project - refactored code out to module utils to clear sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5549).
+- nmap inventory plugin - add new options ``udp_scan``, ``icmp_timestamp``, and ``dns_resolve`` for different types of scans (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5566).
+- rax_scaling_group - refactored out code to the ``rax`` module utils to clear the sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5563).
+- redfish_command - add ``PerformRequestedOperations`` command to perform any operations necessary to continue the update flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
+- redfish_command - add ``update_apply_time`` to ``SimpleUpdate`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3910).
+- redfish_command - add ``update_status`` to output of ``SimpleUpdate`` command to allow a user monitor the update in progress (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
+- redfish_info - add ``GetUpdateStatus`` command to check the progress of a previous update request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
+- redfish_utils module utils - added PUT (``put_request()``) functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5490).
+- slack - add option ``prepend_hash`` which allows to control whether a ``#`` is prepended to ``channel_id``. The current behavior (value ``auto``) is to prepend ``#`` unless some specific prefixes are found. That list of prefixes is incomplete, and there does not seem to exist a documented condition on when exactly ``#`` must not be prepended. We recommend to explicitly set ``prepend_hash=always`` or ``prepend_hash=never`` to avoid any ambiguity (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5629).
+- spotinst_aws_elastigroup - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5553).
+- ssh_config - add ``host_key_algorithms`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5605).
+- udm_share - added ``elements`` attribute to ``list`` type parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5557).
+- udm_user - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5559).

+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
 
-- community.general.wsl - Run tasks in WSL distribution using wsl.exe CLI via SSH.
+- The ``sap`` modules ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query``, will be removed from this collection in community.general 7.0.0 and replaced with redirects to ``community.sap_libs``.

-
-Lookup
-~~~~~~
-
-- community.general.onepassword_ssh_key - Fetch SSH keys stored in 1Password.
+- chroot connection plugin - add ``inventory_hostname`` to vars under ``remote_addr``. This is needed for compatibility with ansible-core 2.13 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5570).
+- cmd_runner module utils - fixed bug when handling default cases in ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map()`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538).
+- cmd_runner module utils - formatting arguments ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed()`` was expecting an non-existing argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5538).
+- keycloak_client_rolemapping - calculate ``proposed`` and ``after`` return values properly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
+- keycloak_client_rolemapping - remove only listed mappings with ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - fix bug while templating when using templates for the ``url``, ``user``, ``password``, ``token_id``, or ``token_secret`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5640).
+- proxmox inventory plugin - handle tags delimited by semicolon instead of comma, which happens from Proxmox 7.3 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5602).
+- redhat_subscription - do not ignore ``consumer_name`` and other variables if ``activationkey`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3486, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5627).
+- redhat_subscription - do not pass arguments to ``subscription-manager register`` for things already configured; now a specified ``rhsm_baseurl`` is properly set for subscription-manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5583).

+- vdo - now uses ``yaml.safe_load()`` to parse command output instead of the deprecated ``yaml.load()`` which is potentially unsafe. Using ``yaml.load()`` without explicitely setting a ``Loader=`` is also an error in pyYAML 6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5632).
+- vmadm - fix for index out of range error in ``get_vm_uuid`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5628).

+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users *assuming they did not use internal FQCNs*. These will still work, but result in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change. Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
+- newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).

-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, respectively. If you leave `-R` away, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).

-# Run all unit tests:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel

-#### In Docker
-
-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
-  `ansible-test integration --help` and look for _target docker images_.
-- `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.
 ```.bash
-# Test all plugins/modules on fedora40
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40

-# 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.

 Merging lists of dictionaries
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-# 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.

 Grouping
 ^^^^^^^^
 
-If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute.

If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.groupby_as_dict filter <community.general.groupby_as_dict#filter>` to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.

-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]

-If you need to sort a list of version numbers, the Jinja ``sort`` filter is problematic. Since it sorts lexicographically, ``2.10`` will come before ``2.9``. To treat version numbers correctly, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.version_sort filter <community.general.version_sort#filter>`:

-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.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # alicloud_setup.yml
-
-    - hosts: localhost
-      connection: local
-
-      tasks:
-        - name: Create a set of instances
-          community.general.ali_instance:
-            instance_type: ecs.n4.small
-            image_id: "{{ ami_id }}"
-            instance_name: "My-new-instance"
-            instance_tags:
-              Name: NewECS
-              Version: 0.0.1
-            count: 5
-            count_tag:
-              Name: NewECS
-            allocate_public_ip: true
-            max_bandwidth_out: 50
-          register: create_instance
-
-In the example playbook above, data about the instances created by this playbook is saved in the variable defined by the ``register`` keyword in the task.
-
-Each Alicloud module offers a variety of parameter options. Not all options are demonstrated in the above example. See each individual module for further details and examples.

-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            |
-        +============+====================+

-        +------------+--------------------+
-        | ``False``  | ``[]``             |
-        +------------+--------------------+
-    - Creation (two args, ``None`` treated as ``False``):
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--relax", "--dont-do-it")``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome              |
-        +============+======================+

-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | ``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 defines one or more fixed arguments that are returned by the generated function
-    regardless whether ``value`` is passed to it or not.
-
-    This method accepts these arguments in one of three forms:
-
-        * one scalar parameter ``arg``, which will be returned as ``[arg]`` by the function, or
-        * one sequence parameter, such as a list, ``arg``, which will be returned by the function as ``arg[0]``, or
-        * multiple parameters ``args``, which will be returned as ``args`` directly by the function.
-
-    See the examples below for each one of those forms. And, stressing that the generated function expects no ``value`` - if one
-    is provided then it is ignored.
-
-    - Creation (one scalar argument):
-        * ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed("--version")``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-        | Value   | Outcome                              |
-        +=========+======================================+
-        |         | * ``["--version"]``                  |
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-        | 57      | * ``["--version"]``                  |
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-
-    - Creation (one sequence argument):
-        * ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed(["--list", "--json"])``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-        | Value   | Outcome                              |
-        +=========+======================================+
-        |         | * ``["--list", "--json"]``           |
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-        | True    | * ``["--list", "--json"]``           |
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-
-    - Creation (multiple arguments):
-        * ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed("--one", "--two", "--three")``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-        | Value   | Outcome                              |
-        +=========+======================================+
-        |         | * ``["--one", "--two", "--three"]``  |
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-        | False   | * ``["--one", "--two", "--three"]``  |
-        +---------+--------------------------------------+
-
-    - Note:
-        This is the only special case in which a value can be missing for the formatting function.
-        The first example here 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``.

-==============
-
-
-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

-Module Helper
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Introduction
-""""""""""""
-
-``ModuleHelper`` is a wrapper around the standard ``AnsibleModule``, providing extra features and conveniences.
-The basic structure of a module using ``ModuleHelper`` is as shown in the
-:ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.quickstart`
-section above, but there are more elements that will take part in it.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import ModuleHelper
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        # behavior for module paramaters ONLY, see below for further information
-        output_params = ()
-        change_params = ()
-        diff_params = ()
-        facts_params = ()
-
-        facts_name = None   # used if generating facts, from parameters or otherwise
-
-        module = dict(
-            argument_spec=dict(...),
-            # ...
-        )
-
-After importing the ``ModuleHelper`` class, you need to declare your own class extending it.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    There is a variation called ``StateModuleHelper``, which builds on top of the features provided by MH.
-    See :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.statemh` below for more details.
-
-The easiest way of specifying the module is to create the class variable ``module`` with a dictionary
-containing the exact arguments that would be passed as parameters to ``AnsibleModule``.
-If you prefer to create the ``AnsibleModule`` object yourself, just assign it to the ``module`` class variable.
-MH also accepts a parameter ``module`` in its constructor, if that parameter is used used,
-then it will override the class variable. The parameter can either be ``dict`` or ``AnsibleModule`` as well.
-
-Beyond the definition of the module, there are other variables that can be used to control aspects
-of MH's behavior. These variables should be set at the very beginning of the class, and their semantics are
-explained through this document.
-
-The main logic of MH happens in the ``ModuleHelper.run()`` method, which looks like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    @module_fails_on_exception
-    def run(self):
-        self.__init_module__()
-        self.__run__()
-        self.__quit_module__()
-        output = self.output
-        if 'failed' not in output:
-            output['failed'] = False
-        self.module.exit_json(changed=self.has_changed(), **output)
-
-The method ``ModuleHelper.__run__()`` must be implemented by the module and most
-modules will be able to perform their actions implementing only that MH method.
-However, in some cases, you might want to execute actions before or after the main tasks, in which cases
-you should implement ``ModuleHelper.__init_module__()`` and ``ModuleHelper.__quit_module__()`` respectively.
-
-Note that the output comes from ``self.output``, which is a ``@property`` method.
-By default, that property will collect all the variables that are marked for output and return them in a dictionary with their values.
-Moreover, the default ``self.output`` will also handle Ansible ``facts`` and *diff mode*.
-Also note the changed status comes from ``self.has_changed()``, which is usually calculated from variables that are marked
-to track changes in their content.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    More details in sections
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.paramvaroutput` and
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.changes` below.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See more about the decorator
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.modulefailsdeco` below.
-
-
-Another way to write the example from the
-:ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.quickstart`
-would be:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        def __init_module__(self):
-            self.vars.original_message = ''
-            self.vars.message = ''
-
-        def __run__(self):
-            if self.check_mode:
-                return
-            self.vars.original_message = self.vars.name
-            self.vars.message = 'goodbye'
-            self.changed = self.vars['new']
-
-        def __quit_module__(self):
-            if self.vars.name == "fail me":
-                self.do_raise("You requested this to fail")
-
-Notice that there are no calls to ``module.exit_json()`` nor ``module.fail_json()``: if the module fails, raise an exception.
-You can use the convenience method ``self.do_raise()`` or raise the exception as usual in Python to do that.
-If no exception is raised, then the module succeeds.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See more about exceptions in section
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.exceptions` below.
-
-Ansible modules must have a ``main()`` function and the usual test for ``'__main__'``. When using MH that should look like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def main():
-        MyTest.execute()
-
-
-    if __name__ == '__main__':
-        main()
-
-The class method ``execute()`` is nothing more than a convenience shorcut for:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    m = MyTest()
-    m.run()
-
-Optionally, an ``AnsibleModule`` may be passed as parameter to ``execute()``.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.paramvaroutput:
-
-Parameters, variables, and output
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-All the parameters automatically become variables in the ``self.vars`` attribute, which is of the ``VarDict`` type.
-By using ``self.vars``, you get a central mechanism to access the parameters but also to expose variables as return values of the module.
-As described in :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_vardict`, variables in ``VarDict`` have metadata associated to them.
-One of the attributes in that metadata marks the variable for output, and MH makes use of that to generate the module's return values.
-
-.. note::
-
-    The ``VarDict`` class was introduced in community.general 7.1.0, as part of ``ModuleHelper`` itself.
-    However, it has been factored out to become an utility on its own, described in :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_vardict`,
-    and the older implementation was removed in community.general 11.0.0.
-
-    Some code might still refer to the class variables ``use_old_vardict`` and ``mute_vardict_deprecation``, used for the transtition to the new
-    implementation but from community.general 11.0.0 onwards they are no longer used and can be safely removed from the code.
-
-Contrary to new variables created in ``VarDict``, module parameters are not set for output by default.
-If you want to include some module parameters in the output, list them in the ``output_params`` class variable.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        output_params = ('state', 'name')
-        ...
-
-.. important::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``output_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-Another neat feature provided by MH by using ``VarDict`` is the automatic tracking of changes when setting the metadata ``change=True``.
-Again, to enable this feature for module parameters, you must list them in the ``change_params`` class variable.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        # example from community.general.xfconf
-        change_params = ('value', )
-        ...
-
-.. important::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``change_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See more about this in
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.changes` below.
-
-Similarly, if you want to use Ansible's diff mode, you can set the metadata ``diff=True`` and ``diff_params`` for module parameters.
-With that, MH will automatically generate the diff output for variables that have changed.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        diff_params = ('value', )
-
-    def __run__(self):
-        # example from community.general.gio_mime
-        self.vars.set_meta("handler", initial_value=gio_mime_get(self.runner, self.vars.mime_type), diff=True, change=True)
-
-.. important::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``diff_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-Moreover, if a module is set to return *facts* instead of return values, then again use the metadata ``fact=True`` and ``fact_params`` for module parameters.
-Additionally, you must specify ``facts_name``, as in:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class VolumeFacts(ModuleHelper):
-        facts_name = 'volume_facts'
-
-        def __init_module__(self):
-            self.vars.set("volume", 123, fact=True)
-
-That generates an Ansible fact like:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Obtain volume facts
-      some.collection.volume_facts:
-        # parameters
-
-    - name: Print volume facts
-      debug:
-        msg: Volume fact is {{ ansible_facts.volume_facts.volume }}
-
-.. important::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``fact_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-.. important::
-
-    If ``facts_name`` is not set, the module does not generate any facts.
-

-
-Handling changes
-""""""""""""""""
-
-In MH there are many ways to indicate change in the module execution. Here they are:
-
-Tracking changes in variables
------------------------------
-
-As explained above, you can enable change tracking in any number of variables in ``self.vars``.
-By the end of the module execution, if any of those variables has a value different then the first value assigned to them,
-then that will be picked up by MH and signalled as changed at the module output.
-See the example below to learn how you can enabled change tracking in variables:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    # using __init_module__() as example, it works the same in __run__() and __quit_module__()
-    def __init_module__(self):
-        # example from community.general.ansible_galaxy_install
-        self.vars.set("new_roles", {}, change=True)
-
-        # example of "hidden" variable used only to track change in a value from community.general.gconftool2
-        self.vars.set('_value', self.vars.previous_value, output=False, change=True)
-
-        # enable change-tracking without assigning value
-        self.vars.set_meta("new_roles", change=True)
-
-        # if you must forcibly set an initial value to the variable
-        self.vars.set_meta("new_roles", initial_value=[])
-        ...
-
-If the end value of any variable marked ``change`` is different from its initial value, then MH will return ``changed=True``.
-
-Indicating changes with ``changed``
------------------------------------
-
-If you want to indicate change directly in the code, then use the ``self.changed`` property in MH.
-Beware that this is a ``@property`` method in MH, with both a *getter* and a *setter*.
-By default, that hidden field is set to ``False``.
-
-Effective change
-----------------
-
-The effective outcome for the module is determined in the ``self.has_changed()`` method, and it consists of the logical *OR* operation
-between ``self.changed`` and the change calculated from ``self.vars``.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.exceptions:
-
-Exceptions
-""""""""""
-
-In MH, instead of calling ``module.fail_json()`` you can just raise an exception.
-The output variables are collected the same way they would be for a successful execution.
-However, you can set output variables specifically for that exception, if you so choose.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import ModuleHelperException
-
-    def __init_module__(self):
-        if not complex_validation():
-            self.do_raise("Validation failed!")
-
-        # Or passing output variables
-        awesomeness = calculate_awesomeness()
-        if awesomeness > 1000:
-            self.do_raise("Over awesome, I cannot handle it!", update_output={"awesomeness": awesomeness})
-            # which is just a convenience shortcut for
-            raise ModuleHelperException("...", update_output={...})
-
-All exceptions derived from ``Exception`` are captured and translated into a ``fail_json()`` call.
-However, if you do want to call ``self.module.fail_json()`` yourself it will work,
-just keep in mind that there will be no automatic handling of output variables in that case.
-
-Behind the curtains, all ``do_raise()`` does is to raise a ``ModuleHelperException``.
-If you want to create specialized error handling for your code, the best way is to extend that clas and raise it when needed.

-StateModuleHelper
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Many modules use a parameter ``state`` that effectively controls the exact action performed by the module, such as
-``state=present`` or ``state=absent`` for installing or removing packages.
-By using ``StateModuleHelper`` you can make your code like the excerpt from the ``gconftool2`` below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import StateModuleHelper
-
-    class GConftool(StateModuleHelper):
-        ...
-        module = dict(
-            ...
-        )
-
-        def __init_module__(self):
-            self.runner = gconftool2_runner(self.module, check_rc=True)
-            ...
-
-            self.vars.set('previous_value', self._get(), fact=True)
-            self.vars.set('value_type', self.vars.value_type)
-            self.vars.set('_value', self.vars.previous_value, output=False, change=True)
-            self.vars.set_meta('value', initial_value=self.vars.previous_value)
-            self.vars.set('playbook_value', self.vars.value, fact=True)
-
-        ...
-
-        def state_absent(self):
-            with self.runner("state key", output_process=self._make_process(False)) as ctx:
-                ctx.run()
-                self.vars.set('run_info', ctx.run_info, verbosity=4)
-            self.vars.set('new_value', None, fact=True)
-            self.vars._value = None
-
-        def state_present(self):
-            with self.runner("direct config_source value_type state key value", output_process=self._make_process(True)) as ctx:
-                ctx.run()
-                self.vars.set('run_info', ctx.run_info, verbosity=4)
-            self.vars.set('new_value', self._get(), fact=True)
-            self.vars._value = self.vars.new_value
-
-Note that the method ``__run__()`` is implemented in ``StateModuleHelper``, all you need to implement are the methods ``state_<state_value>``.
-In the example above, :ansplugin:`community.general.gconftool2#module` only has two states, ``present`` and ``absent``, thus, ``state_present()`` and ``state_absent()``.
-
-If the controlling parameter is not called ``state``, like in :ansplugin:`community.general.jira#module` module, just let SMH know about it:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class JIRA(StateModuleHelper):
-        state_param = 'operation'
-
-        def operation_create(self):
-            ...
-
-        def operation_search(self):
-            ...
-
-Lastly, if the module is called with ``state=somevalue`` and the method ``state_somevalue``
-is not implemented, SMH will resort to call a method called ``__state_fallback__()``.
-By default, this method will raise a ``ValueError`` indicating the method was not found.
-Naturally, you can override that method to write a default implementation, as in :ansplugin:`community.general.locale_gen#module`:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        def __state_fallback__(self):
-            if self.vars.state_tracking == self.vars.state:
-                return
-            if self.vars.ubuntu_mode:
-                self.apply_change_ubuntu(self.vars.state, self.vars.name)
-            else:
-                self.apply_change(self.vars.state, self.vars.name)
-
-That module has only the states ``present`` and ``absent`` and the code for both is the one in the fallback method.
-
-.. note::
-
-    The name of the fallback method **does not change** if you set a different value of ``state_param``.
-
-
-Other Conveniences
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Delegations to AnsibleModule
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-The MH properties and methods below are delegated as-is to the underlying ``AnsibleModule`` instance in ``self.module``:
-
-- ``check_mode``
-- ``get_bin_path()``
-- ``warn()``
-- ``deprecate()``
-
-Additionally, MH will also delegate:
-
-- ``diff_mode`` to ``self.module._diff``
-- ``verbosity`` to ``self.module._verbosity``
-
-Starting in community.general 10.3.0, MH will also delegate the method ``debug`` to ``self.module``.
-If any existing module already has a ``debug`` attribute defined, a warning message will be generated,
-requesting it to be renamed. Upon the release of community.general 12.0.0, the delegation will be
-preemptive and will override any existing method or property in the subclasses.
-
-Decorators
-""""""""""
-
-The following decorators should only be used within ``ModuleHelper`` class.
-
-@cause_changes
---------------
-
-This decorator will control whether the outcome of the method will cause the module to signal change in its output.
-If the method completes without raising an exception it is considered to have succeeded, otherwise, it will have failed.
-
-The decorator has a parameter ``when`` that accepts three different values: ``success``, ``failure``, and ``always``.
-There are also two legacy parameters, ``on_success`` and ``on_failure``, that will be deprecated, so do not use them.
-The value of ``changed`` in the module output will be set to ``True``:
-
-- ``when="success"`` and the method completes without raising an exception.
-- ``when="failure"`` and the method raises an exception.
-- ``when="always"``, regardless of the method raising an exception or not.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import cause_changes
-
-    # adapted excerpt from the community.general.jira module
-    class JIRA(StateModuleHelper):
-        @cause_changes(when="success")
-        def operation_create(self):
-            ...
-
-If ``when`` has a different value or no parameters are specificied, the decorator will have no effect whatsoever.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.modulefailsdeco:
-
-@module_fails_on_exception
---------------------------
-
-In a method using this decorator, if an exception is raised, the text message of that exception will be captured
-by the decorator and used to call ``self.module.fail_json()``.
-In most of the cases there will be no need to use this decorator, because ``ModuleHelper.run()`` already uses it.
-
-@check_mode_skip
-----------------
-
-If the module is running in check mode, this decorator will prevent the method from executing.
-The return value in that case is ``None``.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import check_mode_skip
-
-    # adapted excerpt from the community.general.locale_gen module
-    class LocaleGen(StateModuleHelper):
-        @check_mode_skip
-        def __state_fallback__(self):
-            ...
-
-
-@check_mode_skip_returns
-------------------------
-
-This decorator is similar to the previous one, but the developer can control the return value for the method when running in check mode.
-It is used with one of two parameters. One is ``callable`` and the return value in check mode will be ``callable(self, *args, **kwargs)``,
-where ``self`` is the ``ModuleHelper`` instance and the union of ``args`` and ``kwargs`` will contain all the parameters passed to the method.
-
-The other option is to use the parameter ``value``, in which case the method will return ``value`` when in check mode.

-Dynamic inventory for Online resources
---------------------------------------
-
-Ansible has a dynamic inventory plugin that can list your resources.
-
-1. Create a YAML configuration such as ``online_inventory.yml`` with this content:
-
-   .. code-block:: yaml
-
-       plugin: community.general.online
-
-2. Set your ``ONLINE_TOKEN`` environment variable with your token.
-
-   You need to open an account and log into it before you can get a token.
-   You can find your token at the following page: `https://console.online.net/en/api/access <https://console.online.net/en/api/access>`_
-
-3. You can test that your inventory is working by running:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-       $ ansible-inventory -v -i online_inventory.yml --list
-
-
-4. Now you can run your playbook or any other module with this inventory:
-
-   .. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-       $ ansible all -i online_inventory.yml -m ping
-       sd-96735 | SUCCESS => {
-           "changed": false,
-           "ping": "pong"
-       }
