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

-## Format code; and run sanity or unit tests locally (with antsibull-nox)
+## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally

-The easiest way to format the code, and to run sanity and unit tests locally is to use [antsibull-nox](https://docs.ansible.com/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.)
-
-### Format code
-
-The following commands show how to run ruff format:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all configured formatters:
-nox -Re formatters
-
-# If you notice discrepancies between your local formatter and CI, you might
-# need to re-generate the virtual environment:
-nox -e formatters
-```
-
-### 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`.

-
 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
+# Run integration tests for the interfaces_files module in a Docker container using the
+# fedora35 operating system image (the supported images depend on your ansible-core version):
+ansible-test integration --docker fedora35 -v interfaces_file

-# 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.

-## Devcontainer
-
-Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to
-create a container that is then used during the development cycle. Many tools are pre-installed in the container and will be already available
-to you as a developer. A number of different IDEs support that configuration, the most prominent ones being VSCode and PyCharm.
-
-See the files under [.devcontainer](.devcontainer) for details on what is deployed inside that container.
-
-Beware of:
-
- By default, the devcontainer installs the latest version of `ansible-core`.
-  When testing your changes locally, keep in mind that the collection must support older versions of
-  `ansible-core` and, depending on what is being tested, results may vary.
- Integration tests executed directly inside the devcontainer without isolation (see above) may fail if
-  they expected to be run in full fledged VMs. On the other hand, the devcontainer setup allows running
-  containers inside the container (the `docker-in-docker` feature).
- The devcontainer is built with a directory structure such that
-  `.../ansible_collections/community/general` contains the project repository, so `ansible-test` and
-  other standard tools should work without any additional setup
- By default, the devcontainer installs `pre-commit` and configures it to perform `ruff check` and
-  `ruff format` on the Python files, prior to commiting. That configuration is going to be used by
-  `git` even outside the devcontainer. To prevent errors, you have to either install `pre-commit` in
-  your computer, outside the devcontainer, or run `pre-commit uninstall` from within the devcontainer
-  before quitting it.

  - Do not commit directly.
  - Do not merge your own PRs. Someone else should have a chance to review and approve the PR merge. You have a small amount of leeway here for very minor changes.
  - Do not forget about non-standard / alternate environments. Consider the alternatives. Yes, people have bad/unusual/strange environments (like binaries from multiple init systems installed), but they are the ones who need us the most.
-  - Do not drag your community team members down. Discuss the technical merits of any pull requests you review. Avoid negativity and personal comments. For more guidance on being a good community member, read the [Ansible Community Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html).

  - Do not forget about the maintenance burden. High-maintenance features may not be worth adding.
  - Do not break playbooks. Always keep backwards compatibility in mind.
  - Do not forget to keep it simple. Complexity breeds all kinds of problems.

+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 ``lists_mergeby`` 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 :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.
+
+Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml')|indent(2) }}
+
+{% for i in examples[0:2] %}
+{{ i.label }}
+
+.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
+
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
+
+{% endfor %}
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
+
+{% for i in examples[2:4] %}
+{{ i.label }}
+
+.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
+
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
+
+{% endfor %}
+
+The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
+
+**recursive**
+    Is a boolean, default to ``False``. Should the ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` 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 ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
+
+The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
+
+Let us use the lists below in the following examples
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  {{ lookup('file', 'default-recursive-true.yml')|indent(2) }}
+
+{% for i in examples[4:16] %}
+{{ i.label }}
+
+.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
+
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
+
+{% endfor %}

-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:
-
-.. ansible-output-meta::
-
-  actions:
-    - name: reset-previous-blocks
-    - name: set-template
-      template:

-  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:
-
-.. ansible-output-data::
-
-    playbook: ~
-
-.. 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:
-
-.. ansible-output-data::
-
-    playbook: ~
-
-.. 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:
-
-.. ansible-output-data::
-
-    playbook: ~
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result:
-    - 5

-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``.

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

-Execution Environment Guide
-===========================
-
-`Ansible Execution Environments <https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/getting_started_ee/index.html>`_
-(EEs) are container images that bundle ansible-core, collections, and their Python and system dependencies.
-They are the standard runtime for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and AWX, replacing the older virtualenv model.
-They can also be used outside of RHAAP and AWX by using `ansible-navigator <https://docs.ansible.com/projects/navigator/>`__, or by using ansible-runner directly.
-
-What runs in the EE
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Only **controller-side plugins** run inside the EE. Their Python and system dependencies must be installed there.
-This includes: lookup plugins, inventory plugins, callback plugins, connection plugins, become plugins, and filter plugins.
-
-Modules run on the managed nodes and are transferred there at runtime — their dependencies must be present on the
-target, not in the EE.
-
-.. note::
-
-    Modules delegated to ``localhost`` (for example, those that interact with a remote API) are an exception:
-    they run on the controller and their dependencies must therefore be available in the EE.
-
-Why community.general does not provide EE metadata
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-``community.general`` ships dozens of controller-side plugins covering a very broad range of technologies.
-Bundling the dependencies for all of them into a single EE image would almost certainly create irreconcilable
-conflicts — both within the collection and with other collections or tools (such as ``ansible-lint``) that
-share the same image.
-
-For that reason, ``community.general`` does **not** provide Python or system package dependency metadata.
-Users are expected to build purpose-built, minimal EEs containing only the dependencies
-required by the specific plugins they actually use.
-
-Finding the dependencies you need
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Every plugin that has external dependencies documents them in its ``requirements`` field.
-You can inspect those with ``ansible-doc``:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    $ ansible-doc -t lookup community.general.some_lookup | grep -A 10 "REQUIREMENTS"
-
-Or browse the plugin's documentation page on `docs.ansible.com <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/>`_.
-
-For example, a lookup plugin that wraps an external service might list:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    requirements:
-      - some-python-library >= 1.2
-
-An inventory plugin backed by a REST API might list:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    requirements:
-      - requests
-      - some-sdk
-
-These are the packages you need to add to your EE.
-
-Building a minimal EE with ansible-builder
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-`ansible-builder <https://docs.ansible.com/projects/builder/en/latest/>`_ is the standard tool for creating EEs.
-
-Install it with:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    $ pip install ansible-builder
-
-Create an ``execution-environment.yml`` **in your own project** — not inside ``community.general`` —
-that includes only the dependencies needed for the plugins you use:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    version: 3
-
-    dependencies:
-      galaxy:
-        collections:
-          - name: community.general
-      python:
-        - some-python-library>=1.2
-        - requests
-      system:
-        - libxml2-devel [platform:rpm]
-
-    images:
-      base_image:
-        name: ghcr.io/ansible/community-ee-base:latest
-
-Then build the image:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    $ ansible-builder build -t my-custom-ee:latest
-
-.. seealso::

-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   plugin: community.general.iocage
-   host: 10.1.0.73
-   user: admin
-   get_properties: true
