+author:
+  - sky-joker (@sky-joker)
+version_added: '2.10'
+description:
+  - This module can register or unregister VMs to the inventory.
+requirements:
+  - python >= 2.7
+  - PyVmomi
+options:
+  datacenter:
+    description:
+    - Destination datacenter for the register/unregister operation.
+    - This parameter is case sensitive.
+    type: str
+  cluster:
+    description:
+    - Specify a cluster name to register VM.
+    type: str
+  folder:
+    description:
+    - Description folder, absolute path of the target folder.
+    - The folder should include the datacenter. ESX's datacenter is ha-datacenter.
+    - This parameter is case sensitive.
+    - 'Examples:'
+    - '   folder: /ha-datacenter/vm'
+    - '   folder: ha-datacenter/vm'

+    - Specify VM name to be registered in the inventory.
+    required: True
+    type: str
+  uuid:
+    description:
+    - UUID of the virtual machine to manage if known, this is VMware's unique identifier.
+    - If virtual machine does not exists, then this parameter is ignored.
+    type: str
+  esxi_hostname:
+    description:
+    - The ESXi hostname where the virtual machine will run.
+    - This parameter is case sensitive.

+    description:
+    - Whether to register VM as a template.
+    default: False
+    type: bool
+  path:
+    description:
+    - Specify the path of vmx file.
+    - 'Examples:'
+    - '    [datastore1] vm/vm.vmx'
+    - '    [datastore1] vm/vm.vmtx'
+    type: str
+  resource_pool:
+    description:
+    - Specify a resource pool name to register VM.
+    - This parameter is case sensitive.
+    - Resource pool should be child of the selected host parent.
+    type: str
+  state:
+    description:
+    - Specify the state the virtual machine should be in.
+    - if set to C(present), register VM in inventory.
