+author: "Corey Wanless"
+short_description: Configure Infoblox NIOS txt records
+description:
+  - Adds and/or removes instances of txt record objects from
+    Infoblox NIOS servers.  This module manages NIOS C(record:txt) objects
+    using the Infoblox WAPI interface over REST.
+requirements:
+  - infoblox_client
+extends_documentation_fragment: nios
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the fully qualified hostname to add or remove from
+        the system
+    required: true
+  view:
+    description:
+      - Sets the DNS view to associate this tst record with.  The DNS
+        view must already be configured on the system
+    required: true
+    default: default

+      - dns_view
+  text:
+    description:
+      - Text associated with the record. It can contain up to 255 bytes
+        per substring, up to a total of 512 bytes. To enter leading,
+        trailing, or embedded spaces in the text, add quotes around the
+        text to preserve the spaces.
+  ttl:
+    description:
+      - Configures the TTL to be associated with this tst record
+  extattrs:
+    description:
+      - Allows for the configuration of Extensible Attributes on the
+        instance of the object.  This argument accepts a set of key / value
+        pairs for configuration.
+  comment:
+    description:
+      - Configures a text string comment to be associated with the instance
+        of this object.  The provided text string will be configured on the
+        object instance.
+  state:
+    description:
+      - Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on
+        the NIOS server.  When this value is set to C(present), the object
+        is configured on the device and when this value is set to C(absent)
+        the value is removed (if necessary) from the device.
