-## Run sanity or unit locally (with antsibull-nox)
-
-The easiest way to run sanity and unit tests locally is to use [antsibull-nox](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/antsibull-nox/).
-(If you have [nox](https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/) installed, it will automatically install antsibull-nox in a virtual environment for you.)
-
-### Sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run ansible-test sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel -- plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-
-# Run all other sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -R
-```
-
-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).
-
-### Unit tests
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-## Run basic sanity, unit or integration tests locally (with ansible-test)
-
-Instead of using antsibull-nox, you can also run sanity and unit tests with ansible-test directly.
-This also allows you to run integration tests.
-
-You have to check out the repository into a specific path structure to be able to run `ansible-test`. The path to the git checkout must end with `.../ansible_collections/community/general`. Please see [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how to check out the repository into a correct path structure. The short version of these instructions is:
-
-```.bash
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/community
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-cd ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-```
-
-Then you can run `ansible-test` (which is a part of [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/)) inside the checkout. The following example commands expect that you have installed Docker or Podman. Note that Podman has only been supported by more recent ansible-core releases. If you are using Docker, the following will work with Ansible 2.9+.
-
-### Basic sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run basic sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-```
-
-### Unit tests
-
-Note that for running unit tests, you need to install required collections in the same folder structure that `community.general` is checked out in.
-Right now, you need to install [`community.internal_test_tools`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.internal_test_tools).
-If you want to use the latest version from GitHub, you can run:
-```
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.internal_test_tools.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/internal_test_tools
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-ansible-test units --docker -v
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-### Integration tests
-
-Note that for running integration tests, you need to install required collections in the same folder structure that `community.general` is checked out in.
-Right now, depending on the test, you need to install [`ansible.posix`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix), [`community.crypto`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto), and [`community.docker`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker):
-If you want to use the latest versions from GitHub, you can run:
-```
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/ansible
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/ansible/posix
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/crypto
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/docker
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run integration tests:
-
-#### 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
-
-# Template
-ansible-test integration -v --docker image_name test_name
-
-# Example community.general.ini_file module on fedora40 Docker image:
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40 ini_file
-```
-
-#### Without isolation
-
-```.bash
-# Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
-ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened
-```
-
-If you are unsure about the integration test target name for a module or plugin, you can take a look in `tests/integration/targets/`. Tests for plugins have the plugin type prepended.

+Paths
+-----
+
+The ``path_join`` filter has been added in ansible-base 2.10. If you want to use this filter, but also need to support Ansible 2.9, you can use ``community.general``'s ``path_join`` shim, ``community.general.path_join``. This filter redirects to ``path_join`` for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 or newer, and re-implements the filter for Ansible 2.9.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    # ansible-base 2.10 or newer:
+    path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | path_join }}
+
+    # Also works with Ansible 2.9:
+    path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | community.general.path_join }}
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.0.0
+
+Abstract transformations
+------------------------
+
+Dictionaries
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can use the ``dict_kv`` filter to create a single-entry dictionary with ``value | community.general.dict_kv(key)``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Create a single-entry dictionary
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ myvar | community.general.dict_kv('thatsmyvar') }}"
+      vars:
+        myvar: myvalue
+
+    - name: Create a list of dictionaries where the 'server' field is taken from a list
+      debug:
+        msg: >-
+          {{ myservers | map('community.general.dict_kv', 'server')
+                       | map('combine', common_config) }}
+      vars:
+        common_config:
+          type: host
+          database: all
+        myservers:
+        - server1
+        - server2
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Create a single-entry dictionary]  **************************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": {
+            "thatsmyvar": "myvalue"

+
+    TASK [Create a list of dictionaries where the 'server' field is taken from a list]  *******

+                "type": "host"
+            },
+            {
+                "database": "all",
+                "server": "server2",
+                "type": "host"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
+
+If you need to convert a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary, you can use the ``dict`` function. Unfortunately, this function cannot be used with ``map``. For this, the ``community.general.dict`` filter can be used:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Create a dictionary with the dict function
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ dict([[1, 2], ['a', 'b']]) }}"
+
+    - name: Create a dictionary with the community.general.dict filter
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ [[1, 2], ['a', 'b']] | community.general.dict }}"
+
+    - name: Create a list of dictionaries with map and the community.general.dict filter
+      debug:
+        msg: >-
+          {{ values | map('zip', ['k1', 'k2', 'k3'])
+                    | map('map', 'reverse')
+                    | map('community.general.dict') }}
+      vars:
+        values:
+          - - foo
+            - 23
+            - a
+          - - bar
+            - 42
+            - b
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Create a dictionary with the dict function]  ****************************************

+        }
+    }
+
+    TASK [Create a dictionary with the community.general.dict filter]  ************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": {
+            "1": 2,
+            "a": "b"

+            }
+        ]
+    }
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.0.0
+
+Grouping
+^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the ``community.general.groupby_as_dict`` filter to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
+
+One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:

+Working with times
+------------------
+
+The ``to_time_unit`` filter allows to convert times from a human-readable string to a unit. For example, ``'4h 30min 12second' | community.general.to_time_unit('hour')`` gives the number of hours that correspond to 4 hours, 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
+
+There are shorthands to directly convert to various units, like ``to_hours``, ``to_minutes``, ``to_seconds``, and so on. The following table lists all units that can be used:
+
+.. list-table:: Units
+   :widths: 25 25 25 25
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - Unit name
+     - Unit value in seconds

+     - Shorthand filter
+   * - Millisecond
+     - 1/1000 second
+     - ``ms``, ``millisecond``, ``milliseconds``, ``msec``, ``msecs``, ``msecond``, ``mseconds``
+     - ``to_milliseconds``
+   * - Second
+     - 1 second
+     - ``s``, ``sec``, ``secs``, ``second``, ``seconds``
+     - ``to_seconds``
+   * - Minute
+     - 60 seconds
+     - ``m``, ``min``, ``mins``, ``minute``, ``minutes``
+     - ``to_minutes``
+   * - Hour
+     - 60*60 seconds
+     - ``h``, ``hour``, ``hours``
+     - ``to_hours``
+   * - Day
+     - 24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``d``, ``day``, ``days``
+     - ``to_days``
+   * - Week
+     - 7*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``w``, ``week``, ``weeks``
+     - ``to_weeks``
+   * - Month
+     - 30*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``mo``, ``month``, ``months``
+     - ``to_months``
+   * - Year
+     - 365*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``y``, ``year``, ``years``
+     - ``to_years``
+
+Note that months and years are using a simplified representation: a month is 30 days, and a year is 365 days. If you need different definitions of months or years, you can pass them as keyword arguments. For example, if you want a year to be 365.25 days, and a month to be 30.5 days, you can write ``'11months 4' | community.general.to_years(year=365.25, month=30.5)``. These keyword arguments can be specified to ``to_time_unit`` and to all shorthand filters.

+
+The hashids filters accept keyword arguments to allow fine-tuning the hashids generated:

+
+Random MACs

+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+

+
+Parsing CSV files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Ansible offers the :ref:`community.general.read_csv module <ansible_collections.community.general.read_csv_module>` to read CSV files. Sometimes you need to convert strings to CSV files instead. For this, the ``from_csv`` filter exists.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja

+
+This produces:

+                "foo": "you"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+
+The ``from_csv`` filter has several keyword arguments to control its behavior:
+
+:dialect: Dialect of the CSV file. Default is ``excel``. Other possible choices are ``excel-tab`` and ``unix``. If one of ``delimiter``, ``skipinitialspace`` or ``strict`` is specified, ``dialect`` is ignored.
+:fieldnames: A set of column names to use. If not provided, the first line of the CSV is assumed to contain the column names.
+:delimiter: Sets the delimiter to use. Default depends on the dialect used.
+:skipinitialspace: Set to ``true`` to ignore space directly after the delimiter. Default depends on the dialect used (usually ``false``).
+:strict: Set to ``true`` to error out on invalid CSV input.

+
+`JC <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ is a CLI tool and Python library which allows to interpret output of various CLI programs as JSON. It is also available as a filter in community.general. This filter needs the `jc Python library <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ installed on the controller.

+To extract all clusters from this structure, you can use the following query:
+

+
+    - name: Display all cluster names
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.cluster[*].name') }}"
+
+To extract all server names:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all server names
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[*].name') }}"
+
+To extract ports from cluster1:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item

+      vars:
+        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].port"
+
+.. note:: You can use a variable to make the query more readable.
+
+To print out the ports from cluster1 in a comma separated string:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1 as a string
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==`cluster1`].port') | join(', ') }}"
+
+.. note:: In the example above, quoting literals using backticks avoids escaping quotes and maintains readability.
+
+You can use YAML `single quote escaping <https://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2534365>`_:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==''cluster1''].port') }}"
+
+.. note:: Escaping single quotes within single quotes in YAML is done by doubling the single quote.
+
+To get a hash map with all ports and names of a cluster:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all server ports and names from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster2'].{name: name, port: port}"
+
+To extract ports from all clusters with name starting with 'server1':
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_query: "domain.server[?starts_with(name,'server1')].port"
+
+To extract ports from all clusters with name containing 'server1':
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_query: "domain.server[?contains(name,'server1')].port"
+
+.. note:: while using ``starts_with`` and ``contains``, you have to use `` to_json | from_json `` filter for correct parsing of data structure.
+
+Working with Unicode
+---------------------
+
+`Unicode <https://unicode.org/main.html>`_ makes it possible to produce two strings which may be visually equivalent, but are comprised of distinctly different characters/character sequences. To address this ``Unicode`` defines `normalization forms <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ which avoid these distinctions by choosing a unique character sequence for a given visual representation.
+
+You can use the ``community.general.unicode_normalize`` filter to normalize ``Unicode`` strings within your playbooks.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Compare Unicode representations
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ with_combining_character | community.general.unicode_normalize == without_combining_character }}"
+      vars:
+        with_combining_character: "{{ 'Mayagu\u0308ez' }}"
+        without_combining_character: Mayagüez
+
+This produces:

+
+    TASK [Compare Unicode representations] ********************************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": true

+
+The ``community.general.unicode_normalize`` filter accepts a keyword argument to select the ``Unicode`` form used to normalize the input string.
+
+:form: One of ``'NFC'`` (default), ``'NFD'``, ``'NFKC'``, or ``'NFKD'``. See the `Unicode reference <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ for more information.

-If you need to convert a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary, you can use the ``dict`` function. Unfortunately, this function cannot be used with ``map``. For this, the :ansplugin:`community.general.dict filter <community.general.dict#filter>` can be used:

-Grouping
-^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. 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.
-
-One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Output mount facts grouped by device name
-      debug:
-        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')

-    - name: Output mount facts grouped by mount point

-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]

-Merging lists of dictionaries
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby <community.general.lists_mergeby#filter>` filter.
-
-.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See the documentation for the :ansplugin:`community.general.yaml callback plugin <community.general.yaml#callback>`.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list1:
-    - {name: foo, extra: true}
-    - {name: bar, extra: false}
-    - {name: meh, extra: true}
-
-  list2:
-    - {name: foo, path: /foo}
-    - {name: baz, path: /baz}
-
-Two lists
-"""""""""
-In the example below the lists are merged by the attribute ``name``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ list1 |
-             community.general.lists_mergeby(list2, 'name') }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-    - {name: bar, extra: false}
-    - {name: baz, path: /baz}
-    - {name: foo, extra: true, path: /foo}
-    - {name: meh, extra: true}
-
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-List of two lists
-"""""""""""""""""
-It is possible to use a list of lists as an input of the filter:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1, list2] |
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name') }}"
-
-This produces the same result as in the previous example:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-    - {name: bar, extra: false}
-    - {name: baz, path: /baz}
-    - {name: foo, extra: true, path: /foo}
-    - {name: meh, extra: true}
-
-Single list
-"""""""""""
-It is possible to merge single list:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1 + list2, []] |
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name') }}"
-
-This produces the same result as in the previous example:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-    - {name: bar, extra: false}
-    - {name: baz, path: /baz}
-    - {name: foo, extra: true, path: /foo}
-    - {name: meh, extra: true}
-
-
-The filter also accepts two optional parameters: :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive` and :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
-
-**recursive**
-    Is a boolean, default to ``false``. Should the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` filter recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
-
-**list_merge**
-    Is a string, its possible values are :ansval:`replace` (default), :ansval:`keep`, :ansval:`append`, :ansval:`prepend`, :ansval:`append_rp` or :ansval:`prepend_rp`. It modifies the behaviour of :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
-
-The examples below set :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive=true` and display the differences among all six options of :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.combine#filter`. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.

-Parsing CSV files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Ansible offers the :ansplugin:`community.general.read_csv module <community.general.read_csv#module>` to read CSV files. Sometimes you need to convert strings to CSV files instead. For this, the :ansplugin:`community.general.from_csv filter <community.general.from_csv#filter>` exists.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-

-          foo,bar,baz
-          1,2,3
-          you,this,then
-
-This produces:

-        ]
-    }
-
-The :ansplugin:`community.general.from_csv filter <community.general.from_csv#filter>` has several keyword arguments to control its behavior:
-
-:dialect: Dialect of the CSV file. Default is ``excel``. Other possible choices are ``excel-tab`` and ``unix``. If one of ``delimiter``, ``skipinitialspace`` or ``strict`` is specified, ``dialect`` is ignored.
-:fieldnames: A set of column names to use. If not provided, the first line of the CSV is assumed to contain the column names.
-:delimiter: Sets the delimiter to use. Default depends on the dialect used.
-:skipinitialspace: Set to ``true`` to ignore space directly after the delimiter. Default depends on the dialect used (usually ``false``).
-:strict: Set to ``true`` to error out on invalid CSV input.

-Creating identifiers
--------------------
-
-The following filters allow to create identifiers.
-
-Hashids
-^^^^^^^
-
-`Hashids <https://hashids.org/>`_ allow to convert sequences of integers to short unique string identifiers. The :ansplugin:`community.general.hashids_encode#filter` and :ansplugin:`community.general.hashids_decode#filter` filters need the `hashids Python library <https://pypi.org/project/hashids/>`_ installed on the controller.

-        ]
-    }
-
-The hashids filters accept keyword arguments to allow fine-tuning the hashids generated:
-
-:salt: String to use as salt when hashing.
-:alphabet: String of 16 or more unique characters to produce a hash.
-:min_length: Minimum length of hash produced.

-The :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.path_join filter <ansible.builtin.path_join#filter>` has been added in ansible-base 2.10. Community.general 3.0.0 and newer contains an alias ``community.general.path_join`` for this filter that could be used on Ansible 2.9 as well. Since community.general no longer supports Ansible 2.9, this is now a simple redirect to :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.path_join filter <ansible.builtin.path_join#filter>`.

-Selecting JSON data: JSON queries
---------------------------------
-
-To select a single element or a data subset from a complex data structure in JSON format (for example, Ansible facts), use the :ansplugin:`community.general.json_query filter <community.general.json_query#filter>`.  The :ansplugin:`community.general.json_query#filter` filter lets you query a complex JSON structure and iterate over it using a loop structure.
-
-.. note:: You must manually install the **jmespath** dependency on the Ansible controller before using this filter. This filter is built upon **jmespath**, and you can use the same syntax. For examples, see `jmespath examples <http://jmespath.org/examples.html>`_.
-
-Consider this data structure:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    {
-      "domain_definition": {
-        "domain": {
-          "cluster": [
-            {
-              "name": "cluster1"
-            },
-            {
-              "name": "cluster2"
-            }
-          ],
-          "server": [
-            {
-              "name": "server11",
-              "cluster": "cluster1",
-              "port": "8080"
-            },
-            {
-              "name": "server12",
-              "cluster": "cluster1",
-              "port": "8090"
-            },
-            {
-              "name": "server21",
-              "cluster": "cluster2",
-              "port": "9080"
-            },
-            {
-              "name": "server22",
-              "cluster": "cluster2",
-              "port": "9090"
-            }
-          ],
-          "library": [
-            {
-              "name": "lib1",
-              "target": "cluster1"
-            },
-            {
-              "name": "lib2",
-              "target": "cluster2"
-            }
-          ]
-        }
-      }
-    }
-
-To extract all clusters from this structure, you can use the following query:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all cluster names
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.cluster[*].name') }}"
-
-To extract all server names:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all server names
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[*].name') }}"
-
-To extract ports from cluster1:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].port"
-
-.. note:: You can use a variable to make the query more readable.
-
-To print out the ports from cluster1 in a comma separated string:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1 as a string
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==`cluster1`].port') | join(', ') }}"
-
-.. note:: In the example above, quoting literals using backticks avoids escaping quotes and maintains readability.
-
-You can use YAML `single quote escaping <https://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2534365>`_:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==''cluster1''].port') }}"
-
-.. note:: Escaping single quotes within single quotes in YAML is done by doubling the single quote.
-
-To get a hash map with all ports and names of a cluster:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all server ports and names from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].{name: name, port: port}"
-
-To extract ports from all clusters with name starting with 'server1':
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_query: "domain.server[?starts_with(name,'server1')].port"
-
-To extract ports from all clusters with name containing 'server1':
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_query: "domain.server[?contains(name,'server1')].port"
-
-.. note:: while using ``starts_with`` and ``contains``, you have to use ``to_json | from_json`` filter for correct parsing of data structure.

-Working with times
------------------
-
-The :ansplugin:`community.general.to_time_unit filter <community.general.to_time_unit#filter>` allows to convert times from a human-readable string to a unit. For example, ``'4h 30min 12second' | community.general.to_time_unit('hour')`` gives the number of hours that correspond to 4 hours, 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
-
-There are shorthands to directly convert to various units, like :ansplugin:`community.general.to_hours#filter`, :ansplugin:`community.general.to_minutes#filter`, :ansplugin:`community.general.to_seconds#filter`, and so on. The following table lists all units that can be used:
-
-.. list-table:: Units
-   :widths: 25 25 25 25
-   :header-rows: 1
-
-   * - Unit name
-     - Unit value in seconds
-     - Unit strings for filter
-     - Shorthand filter
-   * - Millisecond
-     - 1/1000 second
-     - ``ms``, ``millisecond``, ``milliseconds``, ``msec``, ``msecs``, ``msecond``, ``mseconds``
-     - :ansplugin:`community.general.to_milliseconds#filter`
-   * - Second
-     - 1 second
-     - ``s``, ``sec``, ``secs``, ``second``, ``seconds``

-     - 365*24*60*60 seconds
-     - ``y``, ``year``, ``years``
-     - :ansplugin:`community.general.to_years#filter`
-
-Note that months and years are using a simplified representation: a month is 30 days, and a year is 365 days. If you need different definitions of months or years, you can pass them as keyword arguments. For example, if you want a year to be 365.25 days, and a month to be 30.5 days, you can write ``'11months 4' | community.general.to_years(year=365.25, month=30.5)``. These keyword arguments can be specified to :ansplugin:`community.general.to_time_unit#filter` and to all shorthand filters.

-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            |
-        +============+====================+
-        | ``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 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``.

-    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"

-Aliases
-------
-
-Quoting :ref:`inventory_aliases`:
-
-   The ``inventory_hostname`` is the unique identifier for a host in Ansible, this can be an IP or a hostname, but also just an 'alias' or short name for the host.

-Set notes. The tag *alias* will be used to create inventory aliases:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   shell> iocage set notes="vmm=iocage_02 project=foo alias=srv_1" 052b9557
-   notes: none -> vmm=iocage_02 project=foo alias=srv_1
-   shell> iocage set notes="vmm=iocage_02 project=foo alias=srv_2" 1c11de2d

-   shell> iocage set notes="vmm=iocage_02 project=bar alias=srv_3" 9d94cc9e
-   notes: none -> vmm=iocage_02 project=bar alias=srv_3
-
-Update the inventory configuration. Set the option
-:ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:inventory_hostname_tag` to :ansval:`alias`. This tag keeps the
-value of the alias. The option :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:get_properties` must be
-enabled. For example, ``hosts/02_iocage.yml`` contains:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   plugin: community.general.iocage
-   host: 10.1.0.73
-   user: admin
-   get_properties: true
-   inventory_hostname_tag: alias
-   hooks_results:
-     - /var/db/dhclient-hook.address.epair0b
-   compose:
-     ansible_host: (iocage_hooks.0 == '-') | ternary(iocage_ip4, iocage_hooks.0)
-     iocage_tags: dict(iocage_properties.notes | split | map('split', '='))
-   keyed_groups:
-     - prefix: vmm
-       key: iocage_tags.vmm
-     - prefix: project
-       key: iocage_tags.project
-
-Display tags and groups. Create a playbook ``pb-test-groups.yml`` with the following content:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-   - hosts: all
-     remote_user: admin
-
-     vars:
-
-       ansible_python_interpreter: auto_silent

-The iocage utility internally opens a console to a jail to get the jail's DHCP address. This

-See: `man dhclient-script <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?dhclient-script>`_
-
-Create the inventory configuration. Use the option :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:hooks_results` instead of :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:sudo`:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   shell> cat hosts/02_iocage.yml
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   plugin: community.general.iocage
-   host: 10.1.0.73
-   user: admin
-   hooks_results:
-     - /var/db/dhclient-hook.address.epair0b
-
-.. note::
-
-   The option :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:hooks_results` expects the poolname to be mounted to ``/poolname``. For example, if you
-   activate the pool iocage, this plugin expects to find the :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:hooks_results` items in the path
-   /iocage/iocage/jails/<name>/root. If you mount the poolname to a different path, the easiest
-   remedy is to create a symlink.
-
-As admin at the controller, display the inventory:
-
-.. code-block:: console

-             iocage_template: ansible_client
-             iocage_type: jail
-
-Compose the variable ``ansible_host``. For example, ``hosts/02_iocage.yml`` could look like:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-   plugin: community.general.iocage
-   host: 10.1.0.73
-   user: admin
-   hooks_results:

-   compose:
-     ansible_host: (iocage_hooks.0 == '-') | ternary(iocage_ip4, iocage_hooks.0)
-
-Test the jails. Create a playbook ``pb-test-uname.yml``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   - hosts: all
-     remote_user: admin
-
-     vars:

-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.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.statemh:
-
-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"
-       }

-Packet.net Guide
-**********************************
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-`Packet.net <https://packet.net>`_ is a bare metal infrastructure host that is supported by the community.general collection through six cloud modules. The six modules are:
-
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_device#module`: manages servers on Packet. You can use this module to create, restart and delete devices.
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_ip_subnet#module`: assign IP subnet to a bare metal server
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_project#module`: create/delete a project in Packet host
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_sshkey#module`: adds a public SSH key from file or value to the Packet infrastructure. Every subsequently-created device will have this public key installed in .ssh/authorized_keys.
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_volume#module`: create/delete a volume in Packet host
- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_volume_attachment#module`: attach/detach a volume to a device in the Packet host
-
-Note, this guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works. If you are not, have a look at their :ref:`docs <ansible_documentation>` before getting started.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-The Packet modules connect to the Packet API using the `packet-python package <https://pypi.org/project/packet-python/>`_. You can install it with pip:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ pip install packet-python
-
-In order to check the state of devices created by Ansible on Packet, it is a good idea to install one of the `Packet CLI clients <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_. Otherwise you can check them through the `Packet portal <https://app.packet.net/portal>`_.
-
-To use the modules you will need a Packet API token. You can generate an API token through the Packet portal `here <https://app.packet.net/portal#/api-keys>`__. The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Packet API token in an environment variable:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ export PACKET_API_TOKEN=Bfse9F24SFtfs423Gsd3ifGsd43sSdfs
-
-If you are not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules.
-
-On Packet, devices and reserved IP addresses belong to `projects <https://www.packet.com/developers/api/#projects>`_. In order to use the packet_device module, you need to specify the UUID of the project in which you want to create or manage devices. You can find a project's UUID in the Packet portal `here <https://app.packet.net/portal#/projects/list/table/>`_ (it is just under the project table) or through one of the available `CLIs <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_.
-
-
-If you want to use a new SSH key pair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
-
-If you want to use an existing key pair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.
-
-
-Device Creation
-===============
-
-The following code block is a simple playbook that creates one `Type 0 <https://www.packet.com/cloud/servers/t1-small/>`_ server (the ``plan`` parameter). You have to supply ``plan`` and ``operating_system``. ``location`` defaults to ``ewr1`` (Parsippany, NJ). You can find all the possible values for the parameters through a `CLI client <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_create.yml
-
-    - name: Create Ubuntu device
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-        - community.general.packet_sshkey:
-            key_file: ./id_rsa.pub
-            label: tutorial key
-
-        - community.general.packet_device:
-            project_id: <your_project_id>
-            hostnames: myserver
-            operating_system: ubuntu_16_04
-            plan: baremetal_0
-            facility: sjc1
-
-After running ``ansible-playbook playbook_create.yml``, you should have a server provisioned on Packet. You can verify through a CLI or in the `Packet portal <https://app.packet.net/portal#/projects/list/table>`__.
-
-If you get an error with the message "failed to set machine state present, error: Error 404: Not Found", please verify your project UUID.
-
-
-Updating Devices
-================
-
-The two parameters used to uniquely identify Packet devices are: "device_ids" and "hostnames". Both parameters accept either a single string (later converted to a one-element list), or a list of strings.
-
-The ``device_ids`` and ``hostnames`` parameters are mutually exclusive. The following values are all acceptable:
-
- device_ids: ``a27b7a83-fc93-435b-a128-47a5b04f2dcf``
-
- hostnames: ``mydev1``
-
- device_ids: ``[a27b7a83-fc93-435b-a128-47a5b04f2dcf, 4887130f-0ccd-49a0-99b0-323c1ceb527b]``
-
- hostnames: ``[mydev1, mydev2]``
-
-In addition, hostnames can contain a special ``%d`` formatter along with a ``count`` parameter that lets you easily expand hostnames that follow a simple name and number pattern; in other words, ``hostnames: "mydev%d", count: 2`` will expand to [mydev1, mydev2].
-
-If your playbook acts on existing Packet devices, you can only pass the ``hostname`` and ``device_ids`` parameters. The following playbook shows how you can reboot a specific Packet device by setting the ``hostname`` parameter:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_reboot.yml
-
-    - name: reboot myserver
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-        - community.general.packet_device:
-            project_id: <your_project_id>
-            hostnames: myserver
-            state: rebooted
-
-You can also identify specific Packet devices with the ``device_ids`` parameter. The device's UUID can be found in the `Packet Portal <https://app.packet.net/portal>`_ or by using a `CLI <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_. The following playbook removes a Packet device using the ``device_ids`` field:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_remove.yml
-
-    - name: remove a device
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-        - community.general.packet_device:
-            project_id: <your_project_id>
-            device_ids: <myserver_device_id>
-            state: absent
-
-
-More Complex Playbooks
-======================
-
-In this example, we will create a CoreOS cluster with `user data <https://packet.com/developers/docs/servers/key-features/user-data/>`_.
-
-
-The CoreOS cluster will use `etcd <https://etcd.io/>`_ for discovery of other servers in the cluster. Before provisioning your servers, you will need to generate a discovery token for your cluster:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ curl -w "\n" 'https://discovery.etcd.io/new?size=3'
-
-The following playbook will create an SSH key, 3 Packet servers, and then wait until SSH is ready (or until 5 minutes passed). Make sure to substitute the discovery token URL in ``user_data``, and the ``project_id`` before running ``ansible-playbook``. Also, feel free to change ``plan`` and ``facility``.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_coreos.yml
-
-    - name: Start 3 CoreOS nodes in Packet and wait until SSH is ready
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-        - community.general.packet_sshkey:
-            key_file: ./id_rsa.pub
-            label: new
-
-        - community.general.packet_device:
-            hostnames: [coreos-one, coreos-two, coreos-three]
-            operating_system: coreos_beta
-            plan: baremetal_0
-            facility: ewr1
-            project_id: <your_project_id>
-            wait_for_public_IPv: 4
-            user_data: |
-              # cloud-config
-              coreos:
-                etcd2:
-                  discovery: https://discovery.etcd.io/<token>
-                  advertise-client-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2379,http://$private_ipv4:4001
-                  initial-advertise-peer-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2380
-                  listen-client-urls: http://0.0.0.0:2379,http://0.0.0.0:4001
-                  listen-peer-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2380
-                fleet:
-                  public-ip: $private_ipv4
-                units:
-                  - name: etcd2.service
-                    command: start
-                  - name: fleet.service
-                    command: start
-          register: newhosts
-
-        - name: wait for ssh
-          ansible.builtin.wait_for:
-            delay: 1
-            host: "{{ item.public_ipv4 }}"
-            port: 22
-            state: started
-            timeout: 500
-          loop: "{{ newhosts.results[0].devices }}"
-
-
-As with most Ansible modules, the default states of the Packet modules are idempotent, meaning the resources in your project will remain the same after re-runs of a playbook. Thus, we can keep the ``packet_sshkey`` module call in our playbook. If the public key is already in your Packet account, the call will have no effect.
-
-The second module call provisions 3 Packet Type 0 (specified using the ``plan`` parameter) servers in the project identified by the ``project_id`` parameter. The servers are all provisioned with CoreOS beta (the ``operating_system`` parameter) and are customized with cloud-config user data passed to the ``user_data`` parameter.
-
-The ``packet_device`` module has a ``wait_for_public_IPv`` that is used to specify the version of the IP address to wait for (valid values are ``4`` or ``6`` for IPv4 or IPv6). If specified, Ansible will wait until the GET API call for a device contains an Internet-routeable IP address of the specified version. When referring to an IP address of a created device in subsequent module calls, it is wise to use the ``wait_for_public_IPv`` parameter, or ``state: active`` in the packet_device module call.
-
-Run the playbook:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ansible-playbook playbook_coreos.yml
-
-Once the playbook quits, your new devices should be reachable through SSH. Try to connect to one and check if etcd has started properly:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    tomk@work $ ssh -i id_rsa core@$one_of_the_servers_ip
-    core@coreos-one ~ $ etcdctl cluster-health
-
-If you have any questions or comments let us know! help@packet.net

-Introduction
-============
-
-`Scaleway <https://scaleway.com>`_ is a cloud provider supported by the community.general collection through a set of plugins and modules.
-Those modules are:
-
- :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_compute#module`: manages servers on Scaleway. You can use this module to create, restart and delete servers.
- :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_compute_private_network#module`

- :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_user_data#module`
- :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_volume#module`: manages volumes on Scaleway.
- :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_volume_info#module`
-
-The plugins are:
-
- :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway#inventory`: inventory plugin
-
-
-.. note::
-   This guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works.
-   If you are not, have a look at :ref:`ansible_documentation` before getting started.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-The Scaleway modules and inventory script connect to the Scaleway API using `Scaleway REST API <https://developer.scaleway.com>`_.
-To use the modules and inventory script you will need a Scaleway API token.
-You can generate an API token through the `Scaleway console's credential page <https://cloud.scaleway.com/#/credentials>`__.
-The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Scaleway API token in an environment variable:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ export SCW_TOKEN=00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-
-If you are not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules using the ``api_token`` argument.
-
-If you want to use a new SSH key pair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
-
-If you want to use an existing key pair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.
-
-How to add an SSH key?
-======================
-
-Connection to Scaleway Compute nodes use Secure Shell.
-SSH keys are stored at the account level, which means that you can reuse the same SSH key in multiple nodes.
-The first step to configure Scaleway compute resources is to have at least one SSH key configured.
-
-:ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_sshkey#module` is a module that manages SSH keys on your Scaleway account.
-You can add an SSH key to your account by including the following task in a playbook:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Add SSH key"
-      community.general.scaleway_sshkey:
-        ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
-        state: "present"
-
-The ``ssh_pub_key`` parameter contains your ssh public key as a string. Here is an example inside a playbook:
-
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Test SSH key lifecycle on a Scaleway account
-      hosts: localhost
-      gather_facts: false
-      environment:
-        SCW_API_KEY: ""
-
-      tasks:
-
-        - community.general.scaleway_sshkey:
-            ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAAB...424242 developer@example.com"
-            state: present
-          register: result
-
-        - ansible.builtin.assert:
-            that:
-              - result is success and result is changed
-
-How to create a compute instance?
-=================================
-
-Now that we have an SSH key configured, the next step is to spin up a server!
-:ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_compute#module` is a module that can create, update and delete Scaleway compute instances:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Create a server
-      community.general.scaleway_compute:
-        name: foobar
-        state: present
-        image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-        organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-        region: ams1
-        commercial_type: START1-S
-
-Here are the parameter details for the example shown above:
-
- ``name`` is the name of the instance (the one that will show up in your web console).
- ``image`` is the UUID of the system image you would like to use.
-  A list of all images is available for each availability zone.
- ``organization`` represents the organization that your account is attached to.
- ``region`` represents the Availability Zone which your instance is in (for this example, ``par1`` and ``ams1``).
- ``commercial_type`` represents the name of the commercial offers.
-  You can check out the Scaleway pricing page to find which instance is right for you.
-
-Take a look at this short playbook to see a working example using ``scaleway_compute``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Test compute instance lifecycle on a Scaleway account
-      hosts: localhost
-      gather_facts: false
-      environment:
-        SCW_API_KEY: ""
-
-      tasks:
-
-        - name: Create a server
-          register: server_creation_task
-          community.general.scaleway_compute:
-            name: foobar
-            state: present
-            image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-            organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-            region: ams1
-            commercial_type: START1-S
-            wait: true
-
-        - ansible.builtin.debug:
-            var: server_creation_task
-
-        - ansible.builtin.assert:
-            that:
-              - server_creation_task is success
-              - server_creation_task is changed
-
-        - name: Run it
-          community.general.scaleway_compute:
-            name: foobar
-            state: running
-            image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-            organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-            region: ams1
-            commercial_type: START1-S
-            wait: true
-            tags:
-              - web_server
-          register: server_run_task
-
-        - ansible.builtin.debug:
-            var: server_run_task
-
-        - ansible.builtin.assert:
-            that:
-              - server_run_task is success
-              - server_run_task is changed
-
-Dynamic Inventory Plugin
-========================
-
-Ansible ships with :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway#inventory`.
-You can now get a complete inventory of your Scaleway resources through this plugin and filter it on
-different parameters (``regions`` and ``tags`` are currently supported).
-
-Let us create an example!
-Suppose that we want to get all hosts that got the tag web_server.
-Create a file named ``scaleway_inventory.yml`` with the following content:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    plugin: community.general.scaleway
-    regions:
-      - ams1
-      - par1
-    tags:
-      - web_server
-
-This inventory means that we want all hosts that got the tag ``web_server`` on the zones ``ams1`` and ``par1``.
-Once you have configured this file, you can get the information using the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ansible-inventory --list -i scaleway_inventory.yml
-
-The output will be:
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
-    {
-        "_meta": {
-            "hostvars": {
-                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d": {
-                    "ansible_verbosity": 6,
-                    "arch": "x86_64",
-                    "commercial_type": "START1-S",
-                    "hostname": "foobar",
-                    "ipv4": "192.0.2.1",
-                    "organization": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444",
-                    "state": "running",
-                    "tags": [
-                        "web_server"
-                    ]
-                }
-            }
-        },
-        "all": {
-            "children": [
-                "ams1",
-                "par1",
-                "ungrouped",
-                "web_server"
-            ]
-        },
-        "ams1": {},
-        "par1": {
-            "hosts": [
-                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
-            ]
-        },
-        "ungrouped": {},
-        "web_server": {
-            "hosts": [
-                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
-            ]
-        }
-    }
-
-As you can see, we get different groups of hosts.
-``par1`` and ``ams1`` are groups based on location.
-``web_server`` is a group based on a tag.
-
-In case a filter parameter is not defined, the plugin supposes all values possible are wanted.
-This means that for each tag that exists on your Scaleway compute nodes, a group based on each tag will be created.
-
-Scaleway S3 object storage
-==========================
-
-`Object Storage <https://www.scaleway.com/object-storage>`_ allows you to store any kind of objects (documents, images, videos, and so on).
-As the Scaleway API is S3 compatible, Ansible supports it natively through the amazon.aws modules: :ansplugin:`amazon.aws.s3_bucket#module`, :ansplugin:`amazon.aws.s3_object#module`.
-
-You can find many examples in the `scaleway_s3 integration tests <https://github.com/ansible/ansible-legacy-tests/tree/devel/test/legacy/roles/scaleway_s3>`_.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - hosts: myserver
-      vars:
-        scaleway_region: nl-ams
-        s3_url: https://s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
-      environment:
-        # AWS_ACCESS_KEY matches your scaleway organization id available at https://cloud.scaleway.com/#/account
-        AWS_ACCESS_KEY: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-        # AWS_SECRET_KEY matches a secret token that you can retrieve at https://cloud.scaleway.com/#/credentials
-        AWS_SECRET_KEY: aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee
-      module_defaults:
-        group/amazon.aws.aws:
-          s3_url: '{{ s3_url }}'
-          region: '{{ scaleway_region }}'
-      tasks:
-       # use a fact instead of a variable, otherwise template is evaluate each time variable is used
-        - ansible.builtin.set_fact:
-            bucket_name: "{{ 99999999 | random | to_uuid }}"
-
-        # "requester_pays:" is mandatory because Scaleway does not implement related API
-        # another way is to use amazon.aws.s3_object and "mode: create" !
-        - amazon.aws.s3_bucket:
-            name: '{{ bucket_name }}'
-            requester_pays:
-
-        - name: Another way to create the bucket
-          amazon.aws.s3_object:
-            bucket: '{{ bucket_name }}'
-            mode: create
-            encrypt: false
-          register: bucket_creation_check
-
-        - name: add something in the bucket
-          amazon.aws.s3_object:
-            mode: put
-            bucket: '{{ bucket_name }}'
-            src: /tmp/test.txt  #  needs to be created before
-            object: test.txt
-            encrypt: false  # server side encryption must be disabled

-UTHelper Guide
-==============
-
-Introduction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-``UTHelper`` was written to reduce the boilerplate code used in unit tests for modules.
-It was originally written to handle tests of modules that run external commands using ``AnsibleModule.run_command()``.
-At the time of writing (Feb 2025) that remains the only type of tests you can use
-``UTHelper`` for, but it aims to provide support for other types of interactions.
-
-Until now, there are many different ways to implement unit tests that validate a module based on the execution of external commands. See some examples:
-
-* `test_apk.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_apk.py>`_ - A very simple one
-* `test_bootc_manage.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_bootc_manage.py>`_ -
-  This one has more test cases, but do notice how the code is repeated amongst them.
-* `test_modprobe.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_modprobe.py>`_ -
-  This one has 15 tests in it, but to achieve that it declares 8 classes repeating quite a lot of code.
-
-As you can notice, there is no consistency in the way these tests are executed -
-they all do the same thing eventually, but each one is written in a very distinct way.
-
-``UTHelper`` aims to:
-
-* provide a consistent idiom to define unit tests
-* reduce the code to a bare minimal, and
-* define tests as data instead
-* allow the test cases definition to be expressed not only as a Python data structure but also as YAML content
-
-Quickstart
-""""""""""
-
-To use UTHelper, your test module will need only a bare minimal of code:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    # tests/unit/plugin/modules/test_ansible_module.py
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.modules import ansible_module
-    from .uthelper import UTHelper, RunCommandMock
-
-
-    UTHelper.from_module(ansible_module, __name__, mocks=[RunCommandMock])
-
-Then, in the test specification file, you have:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    # tests/unit/plugin/modules/test_ansible_module.yaml
-    test_cases:
-      - id: test_ansible_module
-        flags:
-          diff: true
-        input:
-          state: present
-          name: Roger the Shrubber
-        output:
-          shrubbery:
-            looks: nice
-            price: not too expensive
-          changed: true
-          diff:
-            before:
-              shrubbery: null
-            after:
-              shrubbery:
-                looks: nice
-                price: not too expensive
-        mocks:
-          run_command:
-            - command: [/testbin/shrubber, --version]
-              rc: 0
-              out: "2.80.0\n"
-              err: ''
-            - command: [/testbin/shrubber, --make-shrubbery]
-              rc: 0
-              out: 'Shrubbery created'
-              err: ''
-
-.. note::
-
-    If you prefer to pick a different YAML file for the test cases, or if you prefer to define them in plain Python,
-    you can use the convenience methods ``UTHelper.from_file()`` and ``UTHelper.from_spec()``, respectively.
-    See more details below.
-
-
-Using ``UTHelper``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Test Module
-"""""""""""
-
-``UTHelper`` is **strictly for unit tests**. To use it, you import the ``.uthelper.UTHelper`` class.
-As mentioned in different parts of this guide, there are three different mechanisms to load the test cases.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See the UTHelper class reference below for API details on the three different mechanisms.
-
-
-The easies and most recommended way of using ``UTHelper`` is literally the example shown.
-See a real world example at
-`test_gconftool2.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_gconftool2.py>`_.
-
-The ``from_module()`` method will pick the filename of the test module up (in the example above, ``tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_gconftool2.py``)
-and it will search for ``tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_gconftool2.yaml`` (or ``.yml`` if that is not found).
-In that file it will expect to find the test specification expressed in YAML format, conforming to the structure described below LINK LINK LINK.
-
-If you prefer to read the test specifications a different file path, use ``from_file()`` passing the file handle for the YAML file.
-
-And, if for any reason you prefer or need to pass the data structure rather than dealing with YAML files, use the ``from_spec()`` method.
-A real world example for that can be found at
-`test_snap.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_snap.py>`_.
-
-
-Test Specification
-""""""""""""""""""
-
-The structure of the test specification data is described below.
-
-Top level
---------
-
-At the top level there are two accepted keys:
-
- ``anchors: dict``
-    Optional. Placeholder for you to define YAML anchors that can be repeated in the test cases.
-    Its contents are never accessed directly by test Helper.
- ``test_cases: list``
-    Mandatory. List of test cases, see below for definition.
-
-Test cases
----------
-
-You write the test cases with five elements:
-
- ``id: str``
-    Mandatory. Used to identify the test case.
-
- ``flags: dict``
-    Optional. Flags controling the behavior of the test case. All flags are optional. Accepted flags:
-
-    * ``check: bool``: set to ``true`` if the module is to be executed in **check mode**.
-    * ``diff: bool``: set to ``true`` if the module is to be executed in **diff mode**.
-    * ``skip: str``: set the test case to be skipped, providing the message for ``pytest.skip()``.
-    * ``xfail: str``: set the test case to expect failure, providing the message for ``pytest.xfail()``.
-
- ``input: dict``
-    Optional. Parameters for the Ansible module, it can be empty.
-
- ``output: dict``
-    Optional. Expected return values from the Ansible module.
-    All RV names are used here are expected to be found in the module output, but not all RVs in the output must be here.
-    It can include special RVs such as ``changed`` and ``diff``.
-    It can be empty.
-
- ``mocks: dict``
-    Optional. Mocked interactions, ``run_command`` being the only one supported for now.
-    Each key in this dictionary refers to one subclass of ``TestCaseMock`` and its
-    structure is dictated by the ``TestCaseMock`` subclass implementation.
-    All keys are expected to be named using snake case, as in ``run_command``.
-    The ``TestCaseMock`` subclass is responsible for defining the name used in the test specification.
-    The structure for that specification is dependent on the implementing class.
-    See more details below for the implementation of ``RunCommandMock``
-
-Example using YAML
------------------
-
-We recommend you use ``UTHelper`` reading the test specifications from a YAML file.
-See an example below of how one actually looks like (excerpt from ``test_opkg.yaml``):
-
-..  code-block:: yaml

-TestCaseMocks Specifications
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``TestCaseMock`` subclass is free to define the expected data structure.
-
-RunCommandMock Specification
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-``RunCommandMock`` mocks can be specified with the key ``run_command`` and it expects a ``list`` in which elements follow the structure:
-
- ``command: Union[list, str]``
-    Mandatory. The command that is expected to be executed by the module. It corresponds to the parameter ``args`` of the ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` call.
-    It can be either a list or a string, though the list form is generally recommended.
- ``environ: dict``
-    Mandatory. All other parameters passed to the ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` call.
-    Most commonly used are ``environ_update`` and ``check_rc``.
-    Must include all parameters the Ansible module uses in the ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` call, otherwise the test will fail.
- ``rc: int``
-    Mandatory. The return code for the command execution.
-    As per usual in bash scripting, a value of ``0`` means success, whereas any other number is an error code.
- ``out: str``
-    Mandatory. The *stdout* result of the command execution, as one single string containing zero or more lines.
- ``err: str``
-    Mandatory. The *stderr* result of the command execution, as one single string containing zero or more lines.
-

-          helper = UTHelper.from_module(ansible_module, __name__, mocks=[RunCommandMock])
-
-
-Creating TestCaseMocks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To create a new ``TestCaseMock`` you must extend that class and implement the relevant parts:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class ShrubberyMock(TestCaseMock):
-        # this name is mandatory, it is the name used in the test specification
-        name = "shrubbery"
-
-        def setup(self, mocker):
-            # perform setup, commonly using mocker to patch some other piece of code
-            ...
-
-        def check(self, test_case, results):
-            # verify the tst execution met the expectations of the test case
-            # for example the function was called as many times as it should
-            ...
-
-        def fixtures(self):
-            # returns a dict mapping names to pytest fixtures that should be used for the test case
-            # for example, in RunCommandMock it creates a fixture that patches AnsibleModule.get_bin_path
-            ...
-
-Caveats
-^^^^^^^
-
-Known issues/opportunities for improvement:
-
-* Only one ``UTHelper`` per test module: UTHelper injects a test function with a fixed name into the module's namespace,
-  so placing a second ``UTHelper`` instance is going to overwrite the function created by the first one.
-* Order of elements in module's namespace is not consistent across executions in Python 3.5, so if adding more tests to the test module
-  might make Test Helper add its function before or after the other test functions.
-  In the community.general collection the CI processes uses ``pytest-xdist`` to paralellize and distribute the tests,
-  and it requires the order of the tests to be consistent.

-VarDict Guide
-=============
-
-Introduction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.vardict`` module util provides the
-``VarDict`` class to help manage the module variables. That class is a container for module variables,
-especially the ones for which the module must keep track of state changes, and the ones that should
-be published as return values.
-
-Each variable has extra behaviors controlled by associated metadata, simplifying the generation of
-output values from the module.
-
-Quickstart
-""""""""""
-
-The simplest way of using ``VarDict`` is:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.vardict import VarDict
-
-Then in ``main()``, or any other function called from there:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars = VarDict()
-
-    # Next 3 statements are equivalent
-    vars.abc = 123
-    vars["abc"] = 123
-    vars.set("abc", 123)
-
-    vars.xyz = "bananas"
-    vars.ghi = False
-
-And by the time the module is about to exit:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    results = vars.output()
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-That makes the return value of the module:
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
-    {
-        "abc": 123,
-        "xyz": "bananas",
-        "ghi": false
-    }
-
-Metadata
-""""""""
-
-The metadata values associated with each variable are:
-
- ``output: bool`` - marks the variable for module output as a module return value.
- ``fact: bool`` - marks the variable for module output as an Ansible fact.
- ``verbosity: int`` - sets the minimum level of verbosity for which the variable will be included in the output.
- ``change: bool`` - controls the detection of changes in the variable value.
- ``initial_value: any`` - when using ``change`` and need to forcefully set an intial value to the variable.
- ``diff: bool`` - used along with ``change``, this generates an Ansible-style diff ``dict``.
-
-See the sections below for more details on how to use the metadata.
-
-
-Using VarDict
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Basic Usage
-"""""""""""
-
-As shown above, variables can be accessed using the ``[]`` operator, as in a ``dict`` object,
-and also as an object attribute, such as ``vars.abc``. The form using the ``set()``
-method is special in the sense that you can use it to set metadata values:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", 123, output=False)
-    vars.set("abc", 123, output=True, change=True)
-
-Another way to set metadata after the variables have been created is:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set_meta("abc", output=False)
-    vars.set_meta("abc", output=True, change=True, diff=True)
-
-You can use either operator and attribute forms to access the value of the variable. Other ways to
-access its value and its metadata are:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    print("abc value = {0}".format(vars.var("abc")["value"]))        # get the value
-    print("abc output? {0}".format(vars.get_meta("abc")["output"]))  # get the metadata like this
-
-The names of methods, such as ``set``, ``get_meta``, ``output`` amongst others, are reserved and
-cannot be used as variable names. If you try to use a reserved name a ``ValueError`` exception
-is raised with the message "Name <var> is reserved".
-
-Generating output
-"""""""""""""""""
-
-By default, every variable create will be enable for output with minimum verbosity set to zero, in
-other words, they will always be in the output by default.
-
-You can control that when creating the variable for the first time or later in the code:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("internal", x + 4, output=False)
-    vars.set_meta("internal", output=False)
-
-You can also set the verbosity of some variable, like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", x + 4)
-    vars.set("debug_x", x, verbosity=3)
-
-    results = vars.output(module._verbosity)
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-If the module was invoked with verbosity lower than 3, then the output will only contain
-the variable ``abc``. If running at higher verbosity, as in ``ansible-playbook -vvv``,
-then the output will also contain ``debug_x``.
-
-Generating facts is very similar to regular output, but variables are not marked as facts by default.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("modulefact", x + 4, fact=True)
-    vars.set("debugfact", x, fact=True, verbosity=3)
-
-    results = vars.output(module._verbosity)
-    results["ansible_facts"] = {"module_name": vars.facts(module._verbosity)}
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-Handling change
-"""""""""""""""
-
-You can use ``VarDict`` to determine whether variables have had their values changed.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", 42, change=True)
-    vars.abc = 90
-
-    results = vars.output()
-    results["changed"] = vars.has_changed
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-If tracking changes in variables, you may want to present the difference between the initial and the final
-values of it. For that, you want to use:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", 42, change=True, diff=True)
-    vars.abc = 90
-
-    results = vars.output()
-    results["changed"] = vars.has_changed
-    results["diff"] = vars.diff()
-    module.exit_json(**results)

-notes:
-  - When not using this plugin with user V(root), it only works correctly with a polkit rule which alters the behaviour
-    of C(machinectl). This rule must alter the prompt behaviour to ask directly for the user credentials, if the user is allowed
-    to perform the action (take a look at the examples section). If such a rule is not present the plugin only works if it
-    is used in context with the root user, because then no further prompt is shown by C(machinectl).
-  - This become plugin does not work when connection pipelining is enabled. With ansible-core 2.19+, using it automatically
-    disables pipelining. On ansible-core 2.18 and before, pipelining must explicitly be disabled by the user.
