==================

Most users are familiar with `ansible` and `ansible-playbook`, but those are not the only utilities Ansible provides.
Below you have the complate list, each page has the detailed swtiches and options that each tool supports and a short description of their purpose.

generate rst doc pages for command line tools (#27530) * let generate_man also gen rst pages for cli tools * make template-file, output-dir, output format cli options for generate_man * update main Makefile to use generate_man.py for docs (man pages and rst) * update vault docs that use :option: * Edits based on https://github.com/alikins/ansible/commit/6e34ea62429c417939bd96b6de5bf7e6ab1ff765 and https://github.com/alikins/ansible/commit/a3afc785357878da354e21a709cf3b9f16c3f146 * add a optparse 'desc' to lib/ansible/cli/config.py The man page needs a short desc for the 'NAME' field which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value. Fixes building ansible-config man page. * add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than first line being indented. * Add refs to cli command actions To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use: :option:`The link text here <ansible-vault --vault-id>` or: :option:`--vault-id <ansible-vault --vault-id>` To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use: :ref:`The link text here <ansible_vault_encrypt>` or most of the time: :ref:`ansible-vault encrypt <ansible_vault_encrypt>` 7 years ago			`Command Line Tools`

updated plugin docs (#30490) * updated docs - for devs: - added inventory/vars section - made some updates to general section and other plugin types - for users: - added 'user' plugin section to start describing the plugins - docs on types, what they are and how to use - removed ref to deleted AUTHORS file - corrected several typos/headers - added descriptions to config.rst template - ignore generated files for cli/plugins and config - remove new generated files on `make clean` - moved details from devguid and intro doc to plugin specific pages - pretied up lookup notes - changed precedence ref to not conflict config - removed duplicate config data, as config is autogenerated and up to date - put new plugins under playbooks - added `pass` cause rst/python dislikes fractions - removed dupe in .gitignore, alpha sorted to avoid moar dupes - added try cause rst/python freaks out * generate plugins into their own dir only do plugins that support docs use toctree from main plugins page 7 years ago			Most users are familiar with `ansible` and `ansible-playbook`, but those are not the only utilities Ansible provides.
