- If C(directory), all immediate subdirectories will be created if they
do not exist. If C(file), the file will NOT be created if it does not
exist, see the M(copy) or M(template) module if you want that behavior.
If C(link), the symbolic link will be created or changed. Use C(hard)
for hardlinks. If C(absent), directories will be recursively deleted,
and files or symlinks will be unlinked. If C(touch) (new in 1.4), an empty file will
be created if the c(path) does not exist, while an existing file or
directory will receive updated file access and modification times (similar
to the way `touch` works from the command line).
