Sets attributes of files, symlinks, and directories, or removes files/symlinks/directories. Many other modules
|
|
support the same options as the file module -- including 'copy', 'template', and 'assmeble'.

|
|
| dest | yes | | defines the file being managed, unless when used with state=link, and |
|
|
| | | | then sets the destination to create a symbolic link to using 'src' |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| state | | file | values are 'file', 'link', 'directory', or 'absent'. If directory, |
|
|
| | | | all immediate subdirectories will be created if they do not exist. If |
|
|
| | | | 'file', the file will NOT be created if it does not exist, see the 'copy' |
|
|
| | | | or 'template' module if you want that behavior. If 'link', the symbolic |
|
|
| | | | link will be created or changed. If absent, directories will be |
|
|
| | | | recursively deleted, and files or symlinks will be unlinked. |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| mode | | | mode the file or directory shoudl be, such as 0644 as would be fed to |
|
|
| | | | chmod. English modes like 'g+x' are not yet supported |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| owner | | | name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to |
|
|
| | | | chown |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| group | | | name of the group that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to |
|
|
| | | | group |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| src | | | path of the file to link to (applies only to state=link) |
|

|
|
| seuser | | | user part of SELinux file context. Will default to system policy, if |
|
|
| | | | applicable. If set to '_default', it will use the 'user' portion of the |
|
|
| | | | the policy if available |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| serole | | | role part of SELinux file context, '_default' feature works as above. |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| setype | | | type part of SELinux file context, '_default' feature works as above |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| selevel | | s0 | level part of the SELinux file context. This is the MLS/MCS attribute, |
|
|
| | | | sometimes known as the 'range'. '_default' feature works as above |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| context | | | accepts only 'default' as a value. This will restore a file's selinux |
|
|
| | | | context in the policy. Does nothing if no default is available. |
