Note that absent will not cause file to fail if the path does not exist as the state did not change. In the case of a directory, if diff is declared, you will see the files and folders deleted listed under path_contents. If absent, directories will be recursively deleted, and files or symlinks will be unlinked. Specifying mode is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does not exist, the default umask on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.Īs of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r). Adding a leading zero (for example, 0755) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have.įor those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers.

Because the star is inside the square brackets, it loses its usual meaning of zero or more characters and becomes a literal *. expands to a file name that consists of a dot immediately followed by one of the characters f, *, or u (and nothing else after that). As a special case, the above does not match files that start with a dot because such files are, by convention, "hidden." Normally, * means zero or more of any character. In other words, this glob requires that both f and u be present in the filename and that they appear in the order f then u. *.*f*u expands to a file name that contains a dot followed (not necessarily immediately) by an f and ends with a u. If you don't want to see them, and one usually doesn't, then omit the first glob and use simply: ls -lL *.**

The hidden files generally serve as configuration files for various programs. The second, *.**, expands to files that have a dot somewhere in the name but do not begin with dot. **, expands to files that start with a dot (which means that they are normally 'hidden'). To also insist that the f or u be preceded by a dot, try: ls -lL. This looks for files in the data directory that contain a dot followed by f or u but not ending in f or u: ls -lL datafiles/*.**
