How to view module documentation?

To view module documentation using ansible-doc, follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal: Ensure you have access to a command line interface where Ansible is installed.

2. Use the ansible-doc command: Type the following command, replacing <module_name> with the name of the module you want to view:

   ansible-doc <module_name>

   For example, to view the documentation for the yum module, you would run:

   ansible-doc yum

3. Read the output: The command will display detailed information about the specified module, including:

   • A brief description of what the module does.
   • The parameters that can be used with the module.
   • Examples of how to use the module in a playbook.

4. Explore additional options: If you want to see a list of all available modules, you can run:

   ansible-doc -l

   This will provide a summary of all modules that are installed and available for use.

By following these steps, you can easily access and read the documentation for any Ansible module directly from the command line.
