* Docs: Add a separate "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.
So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.
seealso:
# Reference by module name
- module: aci_tenant
# Reference by module name, including description
- module: aci_tenant
description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.
# Reference by rST documentation anchor
- ref: aci_guide
description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.
# Reference by Internet resource
- name: APIC Management Information Model reference
description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.

This PR also includes:
- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
- This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)
* Use latest stable instead of devel docs
fixes to ansible-doc
- change json to always be type dependent
- change changelog generation to loop over the options
- warn about ignoring module path
* There will always be metadata returned so no need to check for its
existence first.
* There won't be version or metadata_version as those are being removed
by the api. So all checks for those need to be removed.
* Major slow down due to using the wrong loader for plugin_types
* traceback due to adding httpapi and cliconf plugins to the plugins we
allow ansible-doc to process
* removed hardcoded loader/plugins list
* updated a few errors to keep orig object
* fix httpapi/cliconf listing
* ansible-doc fixes
* show undocumented as UNDOCUMENTEd
* added missing undoc
* Fix ansible-doc wrt removed modules
* Fix listing of modules ia ansible-doc to not complain about removed modules
Removed modules are marked as such in the metadata but nowhere else.
Need to retrieve the metadata when a module doesn't have a doc so that
we can tell if it falls under this case.
* omit removed modules from json dump
* Print an error that the module has been removed if attempting to run
ansible-doc on that specific module
* Get plugin_formatter to stop outputting removed modules
* centralize doc/config plugin lists
also update list for generation in docsite
added note to ensure they are in sync
* updated shell page to list plugins
added some more docs hinting at plugins being configurable
* fix edit link for plugins
Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
* allow shells to have per host options, remote_tmp
added language to shell
removed module lang setting from general as plugins have it now
use get to avoid bad powershell plugin
more resilient tmp discovery, fall back to `pwd`
add shell to docs
fixed options for when frags are only options
added shell set ops in t_e and fixed option frags
normalize tmp dir usag4e
- pass tmpdir/tmp/temp options as env var to commands, making it default for tempfile
- adjusted ansiballz tmpdir
- default local tempfile usage to the configured local tmp
- set env temp in action
add options to powershell
shift temporary to internal envvar/params
ensure tempdir is set if we pass var
ensure basic and url use expected tempdir
ensure localhost uses local tmp
give /var/tmp priority, less perms issues
more consistent tempfile mgmt for ansiballz
made async_dir configurable
better action handling, allow for finally rm tmp
fixed tmp issue and no more tempdir in ballz
hostvarize world readable and admin users
always set shell tempdir
added comment to discourage use of exception/flow control
* Mostly revert expand_user as it's not quite working.
This was an additional feature anyhow.
Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh
connection. This is not optimal but getting that to work in a single
ssh connection was part of the problem holding this up.
(cherry picked from commit 395b714120522f15e4c90a346f5e8e8d79213aca)
* fixed script and other action plugins

cleaner/better options
fix when vars are added
extended ignore list to config dicts

removed options from base that paramiko already handles
left the look option as it is used by other plugin types
resolve delegation
updated cache doc options
fixed test_script
better fragment merge for options
fixed proxy command
restore ini for proxy
normalized options
moved pipelining to class
updates for host_key_checking
restructured mixins
* fix typo
* Automatically loads and executes an inventory plugin specified by a standard YAML inventory config file containing a `plugin` key at its root.
* Moved inventory PluginLoader to a shared global instance.
* finalize lookup documentation
* minor fixes to ansible-doc
- actually show which file caused error on when listing plugins
- removed redundant display of type and name
* smart quote fixes from toshio
* Change ansible-doc usage to show -a is for internal use
ansible-doc -a is for testing that documentation is sane. It should not
be used by normal users in production. The main reason for this is that
it is designed to fail if there are any undocumented modules or plugins.
This is good for testing that all plugins we ship are documented. It is
not good for end users who may have undocumented third-party plugins.

skip ipaddr filter tests when missing netaddr
removed devnull string from config
better becoem resolution
* killed extra space with extreeme prejudice
cause its an affront against all that is holy that 2 spaces touch each other!
shippable timing out on some images, but merging as it passes most
* Properly include aliases in ansible-doc output
Use correct variable name for storing aliases and only print them out if the list isn't empty.
Fixes#24498
* Only include choices in output if choices exist in the list
restoring behaviour in which a missing module is a warning that shows paths searched,
patch incorrectly bypassed detection and ended up in an exception: global name 'module' is not defined
Currently, someone writing a action plugin will also need
to have a empty file in the module path to avoid triggering
the error "no action detected in task.".
* Fix ansible-doc traceback when a plugin doesn't parse correctly
* Change extract_metadata ivocation to take either an ast or source
code. When given source code, it can find file offsets for the start
and end of dict. When given the ast, it is quicker as it doesn't have
to reparse the source. Requires changing the call to the function to
use a keyword arg.
* Fix reading of metadata to find the last occurrence of
ANSIBLE_METADATA instead of the first.
* Add some more unittests to get closer to complete coverage

* implicit localhost connection local
* ansible-doc -s is supposed to output a sample snippet of how you could
add the module into a playbook. These changes update the style:
* Use yaml mappings instead of key=value
* Use the module name directly instead of action: modulename
* Fixes a bug when displaying option descritpions which are yaml strings
instead of lists.
This fixes in code the bad formatting reported in #24201
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
Made ansible-doc more plugin agnostic
We can have docs in lookup, callback, connectionm strategy, etc
Use first docstring and make pepizis happy
