-### Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
-

Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release\, it was not possible to add such variables to the output [due to a bug](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5755) \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5765](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5765)\)\.

-Regular bugfix and feature release\.
-
-<a id="minor-changes-9"></a>
-### Minor Changes
-
-* cmd\_runner module utils \- <code>cmd\_runner\_fmt\.as\_bool\(\)</code> can now take an extra parameter to format when value is false \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5647](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5647)\)\.
-* gconftool2 \- refactor using <code>ModuleHelper</code> and <code>CmdRunner</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5545](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5545)\)\.
-* java\_certs \- add more detailed error output when extracting certificate from PKCS12 fails \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5550](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5550)\)\.
-* jenkins\_plugin \- refactor code to module util to fix sanity check \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5565](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5565)\)\.
-* lxd\_project \- refactored code out to module utils to clear sanity check \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5549](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5549)\)\.
-* nmap inventory plugin \- add new options <code>udp\_scan</code>\, <code>icmp\_timestamp</code>\, and <code>dns\_resolve</code> for different types of scans \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5566](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5566)\)\.
-* rax\_scaling\_group \- refactored out code to the <code>rax</code> module utils to clear the sanity check \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5563](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5563)\)\.
-* redfish\_command \- add <code>PerformRequestedOperations</code> command to perform any operations necessary to continue the update flow \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276)\)\.
-* redfish\_command \- add <code>update\_apply\_time</code> to <code>SimpleUpdate</code> command \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3910](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3910)\)\.
-* redfish\_command \- add <code>update\_status</code> to output of <code>SimpleUpdate</code> command to allow a user monitor the update in progress \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/4276)\)\.

The current behavior \(value <code>auto</code>\) is to prepend <code>\#</code> unless some specific prefixes are found\. That list of prefixes is incomplete\, and there does not seem to exist a documented condition on when exactly <code>\#</code> must not be prepended\. We recommend to explicitly set <code>prepend\_hash\=always</code> or <code>prepend\_hash\=never</code> to avoid any ambiguity \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5629](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5629)\)\.

-### Deprecated Features
-
-* The <code>sap</code> modules <code>sapcar\_extract</code>\, <code>sap\_task\_list\_execute</code>\, and <code>hana\_query</code>\, will be removed from this collection in community\.general 7\.0\.0 and replaced with redirects to <code>community\.sap\_libs</code>\. If you want to continue using these modules\, make sure to also install <code>community\.sap\_libs</code> \(it is part of the Ansible package\) \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5614](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5614)\)\.
-
-<a id="bugfixes-14"></a>
-### Bugfixes
-
-* chroot connection plugin \- add <code>inventory\_hostname</code> to vars under <code>remote\_addr</code>\. This is needed for compatibility with ansible\-core 2\.13 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5570](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5570)\)\.
-* cmd\_runner module utils \- fixed bug when handling default cases in <code>cmd\_runner\_fmt\.as\_map\(\)</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538)\)\.
-* cmd\_runner module utils \- formatting arguments <code>cmd\_runner\_fmt\.as\_fixed\(\)</code> was expecting an non\-existing argument \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5538)\)\.
-* keycloak\_client\_rolemapping \- calculate <code>proposed</code> and <code>after</code> return values properly \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619)\)\.
-* keycloak\_client\_rolemapping \- remove only listed mappings with <code>state\=absent</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5619)\)\.
-* proxmox inventory plugin \- fix bug while templating when using templates for the <code>url</code>\, <code>user</code>\, <code>password</code>\, <code>token\_id</code>\, or <code>token\_secret</code> options \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5640](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5640)\)\.
-* proxmox inventory plugin \- handle tags delimited by semicolon instead of comma\, which happens from Proxmox 7\.3 on \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5602](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5602)\)\.
-* redhat\_subscription \- do not ignore <code>consumer\_name</code> and other variables if <code>activationkey</code> is specified \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3486](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/3486)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5627](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5627)\)\.
-* redhat\_subscription \- do not pass arguments to <code>subscription\-manager register</code> for things already configured\; now a specified <code>rhsm\_baseurl</code> is properly set for subscription\-manager \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5583](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5583)\)\.
-* unixy callback plugin \- fix plugin to work with ansible\-core 2\.14 by using Ansible\'s configuration manager for handling options \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5600](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/5600)\)\.
-* vdo \- now uses <code>yaml\.safe\_load\(\)</code> to parse command output instead of the deprecated <code>yaml\.load\(\)</code> which is potentially unsafe\. Using <code>yaml\.load\(\)</code> without explicitely setting a <code>Loader\=</code> is also an error in pyYAML 6\.0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5632](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5632)\)\.
-* vmadm \- fix for index out of range error in <code>get\_vm\_uuid</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5628](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5628)\)\.

-### Release Summary
-
-New major release of community\.general with lots of bugfixes\, new features\, some removed deprecated features\, and some other breaking changes\. Please check the coresponding sections of the changelog for more details\.
-
-<a id="major-changes"></a>
-### Major Changes
-
-* The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action plugins\. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic\, but instead are now all in a single \(flat\) directory\. This has no impact on users <em>assuming they did not use internal FQCNs</em>\. These will still work\, but result in deprecation warnings\. They were never officially supported and thus the redirects are kept as a courtsey\, and this is not labelled as a breaking change\. Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these internal names\. If you followed its recommendation\, you will now have to change back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings\, and potential errors in the future as these redirects will be removed in community\.general 9\.0\.0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5461](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5461)\)\.
-* newrelic\_deployment \- removed New Relic v1 API\, added support for v2 API \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5341](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/5341)\)\.

-# Contributing
-
-We follow [Ansible Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html) in all our contributions and interactions within this repository.
-
-If you are a committer, also refer to the [collection's committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/commit-rights.md).
-
-## Issue tracker
-
-Whether you are looking for an opportunity to contribute or you found a bug and already know how to solve it, please go to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues).
-There you can find feature ideas to implement, reports about bugs to solve, or submit an issue to discuss your idea before implementing it which can help choose a right direction at the beginning of your work and potentially save a lot of time and effort.
-Also somebody may already have started discussing or working on implementing the same or a similar idea,
-so you can cooperate to create a better solution together.
-
-* If you are interested in starting with an easy issue, look for [issues with an `easyfix` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/easyfix).
-* Often issues that are waiting for contributors to pick up have [the `waiting_on_contributor` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/waiting_on_contributor).
-
-## Open pull requests
-
-Look through currently [open pull requests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pulls).
-You can help by reviewing them. Reviews help move pull requests to merge state. Some good pull requests cannot be merged only due to a lack of reviews. And it is always worth saying that good reviews are often more valuable than pull requests themselves.
-Note that reviewing does not only mean code review, but also offering comments on new interfaces added to existing plugins/modules, interfaces of new plugins/modules, improving language (not everyone is a native english speaker), or testing bugfixes and new features!
-
-Also, consider taking up a valuable, reviewed, but abandoned pull request which you could politely ask the original authors to complete yourself.
-
-* Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
-* Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
-* Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged. To avoid that git automatically does merges during pulls, you can configure it to do rebases instead by running `git config pull.rebase true` inside the repository checkout.
-* Make sure your PR includes a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/development_process.html#creating-changelog-fragments). (You must not include a fragment for new modules or new plugins, except for test and filter plugins. Also you shouldn't include one for docs-only changes. If you're not sure, simply don't include one, we'll tell you whether one is needed or not :) )
-* Avoid reformatting unrelated parts of the codebase in your PR. These types of changes will likely be requested for reversion, create additional work for reviewers, and may cause approval to be delayed.
-
-You can also read [our Quick-start development guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/create_pr_quick_start_guide.rst).
-
-## Test pull requests
-
-If you want to test a PR locally, refer to [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how do it quickly.
-
-If you find any inconsistencies or places in this document which can be improved, feel free to raise an issue or pull request to fix it.
-
-## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally
-
-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+.
-
-The following commands show how to run sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v
-
-# Run sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-```
-
-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
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run integration tests:
-
-```.bash
-# 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
-
-# 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.
-
-## Creating new modules or plugins
-
-Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
-
-1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
-   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
-
-2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
-   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
-   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding ``_info`` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
-   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.
-
-3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:
-
-   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
-   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
-     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
-   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
-     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
-   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
-     which run in CI.
-
-4. Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
-   (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
-   than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
-
-5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
-   same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
-   listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.
-
-   When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.

-Committers Guidelines for community.general
-===========================================
-
-This document is based on the [Ansible committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/b57444af14062ec96e0af75fdfc2098c74fe2d9a/docs/docsite/rst/community/committer_guidelines.rst) ([latest version](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/committer_guidelines.html)).
-
-These are the guidelines for people with commit privileges on the Ansible Community General Collection GitHub repository. Please read the guidelines before you commit.
-
-These guidelines apply to everyone. At the same time, this is NOT a process document. So just use good judgment. You have been given commit access because we trust your judgment.
-
-That said, use the trust wisely.
-
-If you abuse the trust and break components and builds, and so on, the trust level falls and you may be asked not to commit or you may lose your commit privileges.
-
-Our workflow on GitHub
-----------------------
-
-As a committer, you may already know this, but our workflow forms a lot of our team policies. Please ensure you are aware of the following workflow steps:
-
-* Fork the repository upon which you want to do some work to your own personal repository
-* Work on the specific branch upon which you need to commit
-* Create a Pull Request back to the collection repository and await reviews
-* Adjust code as necessary based on the Comments provided
-* Ask someone from the other committers to do a final review and merge
-
-Sometimes, committers merge their own pull requests. This section is a set of guidelines. If you are changing a comma in a doc or making a very minor change, you can use your best judgement. This is another trust thing. The process is critical for any major change, but for little things or getting something done quickly, use your best judgement and make sure people on the team are aware of your work.
-
-Roles
------
-* Release managers: Merge pull requests to `stable-X` branches, create tags to do releases.
-* Committers: Fine to do PRs for most things, but we should have a timebox. Hanging PRs may merge on the judgement of these devs.
-* Module maintainers: Module maintainers own specific modules and have indirect commit access through the current module PR mechanisms. This is primary [ansibullbot](https://github.com/ansibullbot)'s `shipit` mechanism.
-
-General rules
--------------
-Individuals with direct commit access to this collection repository are entrusted with powers that allow them to do a broad variety of things--probably more than we can write down. Rather than rules, treat these as general *guidelines*, individuals with this power are expected to use their best judgement.
-
-* Do NOTs:
-
-  - 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/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.
-  - Do not merge to branches other than `main`, especially not to `stable-X`, if you do not have explicit permission to do so.
-  - Do not create tags. Tags are used in the release process, and should only be created by the people responsible for managing the stable branches.
-
-* Do:
-
-  - Squash, avoid merges whenever possible, use GitHub's squash commits or cherry pick if needed (bisect thanks you).
-  - Be active. Committers who have no activity on the project (through merges, triage, commits, and so on) will have their permissions suspended.
-  - Consider backwards compatibility (goes back to "do not break existing playbooks").
-  - Write tests. PRs with tests are looked at with more priority than PRs without tests that should have them included. While not all changes require tests, be sure to add them for bug fixes or functionality changes.
-  - Discuss with other committers, specially when you are unsure of something.
-  - Document! If your PR is a new feature or a change to behavior, make sure you've updated all associated documentation or have notified the right people to do so.
-  - Consider scope, sometimes a fix can be generalized.
-  - Keep it simple, then things are maintainable, debuggable and intelligible.
-
-Committers are expected to continue to follow the same community and contribution guidelines followed by the rest of the Ansible community.
-
-
-People
-------
-
-Individuals who have been asked to become a part of this group have generally been contributing in significant ways to the community.general collection for some time. Should they agree, they are requested to add their names and GitHub IDs to this file, in the section below, through a pull request. Doing so indicates that these individuals agree to act in the ways that their fellow committers trust that they will act.

-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 %}

-Counting elements in a sequence
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``community.general.counter`` filter plugin allows you to count (hashable) elements in a sequence. Elements are returned as dictionary keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Count character occurrences in a string
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ 'abccbaabca' | community.general.counter }}"
-
-    - name: Count items in a list
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ ['car', 'car', 'bike', 'plane', 'bike'] | community.general.counter }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Count character occurrences in a string] ********************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": {
-            "a": 4,
-            "b": 3,
-            "c": 3
-        }
-    }
-
-    TASK [Count items in a list] **************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": {

-            "car": 2,
-            "plane": 1
-        }
-    }
-
-This plugin is useful for selecting resources based on current allocation:

-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:

-          database: all
-        myservers:

-

-                "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 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

-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:
-
-.. 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
-      debug:
-        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('mount')

-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
-
-  list1:
-    - name: foo
-      extra: true
-    - name: bar
-      extra: false
-    - name: meh
-      extra: true
-
-  list2:
-    - name: foo
-      path: /foo
-    - name: baz
-      path: /baz
-
-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:
-  - extra: false
-    name: bar
-  - name: baz
-    path: /baz
-  - extra: true
-    name: foo
-    path: /foo
-  - extra: true
-    name: meh
-
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-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:
-  - extra: false
-    name: bar
-  - name: baz
-    path: /baz
-  - extra: true
-    name: foo
-    path: /foo
-  - extra: true
-    name: meh
-
-
-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
-
-  list1:
-    - name: myname01
-      param01:
-        x: default_value
-        y: default_value
-        list:
-          - default_value
-    - name: myname02
-      param01: [1, 1, 2, 3]
-
-  list2:
-    - name: myname01
-      param01:
-        y: patch_value
-        z: patch_value
-        list:
-          - patch_value
-    - name: myname02
-      param01: [3, 4, 4, {key: value}]
-
-Example ``list_merge=replace`` (default):
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name',
-                                             recursive=true) }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-  - name: myname01
-    param01:
-      list:
-      - patch_value
-      x: default_value
-      y: patch_value
-      z: patch_value
-  - name: myname02
-    param01:
-    - 3
-    - 4
-    - 4
-    - key: value
-
-Example ``list_merge=keep``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name',
-                                             recursive=true,
-                                             list_merge='keep') }}"
-

-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
-
-    - name: "Parse CSV from string"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ csv_string | community.general.from_csv }}"
-      vars:
-        csv_string: |
-          foo,bar,baz
-          1,2,3
-          you,this,then
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Parse CSV from string] **************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": [
-            {
-                "bar": "2",
-                "baz": "3",
-                "foo": "1"
-            },
-            {
-                "bar": "this",
-                "baz": "then",
-                "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.
-
-.. versionadded: 3.0.0
-
-Converting to JSON
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-`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.

-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. This filter needs the `hashids Python library <https://pypi.org/project/hashids/>`_ installed on the controller.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Create hashid"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ [1234, 5, 6] | community.general.hashids_encode }}"
-
-    - name: "Decode hashid"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ 'jm2Cytn' | community.general.hashids_decode }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Create hashid] **********************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "jm2Cytn"

-
-    TASK [Decode hashid] **********************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": [
-            1234,
-            5,
-            6
-        ]
-    }
-
-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.
-
-.. versionadded: 3.0.0
-
-Random MACs
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-You can use the ``random_mac`` filter to complete a partial `MAC address <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address>`_ to a random 6-byte MAC address.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Create a random MAC starting with ff:"
-      debug:

-
-    - name: "Create a random MAC starting with 00:11:22:"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ '00:11:22' | community.general.random_mac }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Create a random MAC starting with ff:] **********************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "ff:69:d3:78:7f:b4"

-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "00:11:22:71:5d:3b"
-    }
-
-You can also initialize the random number generator from a seed to create random-but-idempotent MAC addresses:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    "{{ '52:54:00' | community.general.random_mac(seed=inventory_hostname) }}"

-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.

-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 ``json_query`` filter.  The ``json_query`` 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
-

-                        "port": "9090"
-                    }
-                ],
-                "library": [
-                    {
-                        "name": "lib1",
-                        "target": "cluster1"
-                    },

-
-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=='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 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.
-

-
-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.

-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.
