- If C(directory), all immediate subdirectories will be created if they
|
|
|
|
|
do not exist, since 1.7 they will be created with the supplied permissions.
|
|
|
|
|
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).
