+    required: false
+    default: present
+    choices: [ "present", "absent" ]
+examples:
+   - code: mysql_user name=bob password=12345 priv=*.*:ALL state=present
+     description: Create database user with name 'bob' and password '12345' with all database privileges
+   - code: mysql_user login_user=root login_password=123456 name=sally state=absent
+     description: Ensure no user named 'sally' exists, also passing in the auth credentials.
+   - code: mydb.*:INSERT,UPDATE/anotherdb.*:SELECT/yetanotherdb.*:ALL
+     description: Example privileges string format
+notes:
+   - Requires the MySQLdb Python package on the remote host. For Ubuntu, this is as easy as apt-get install python-mysqldb.
+   - Both 'login_password' and 'login_username' are required when you are passing credentials. If none are present, the module will attempt to read the credentials from ~/.my.cnf, and finally fall back to using the MySQL default login of 'root' with no password.
