The "ansible-doc" command is used in Ansible to provide documentation on Ansible modules, plugins, and other components. It is a helpful tool to explore and understand the functionalities available in Ansible.
In this particular command:
- "--type" is an option that specifies the type of component you want to get documentation for. It can be a module, plugin, or another type supported by Ansible. The variable "${select}" should be replaced with the desired type like "module" or "plugin".
- "${plugin_name}" is another variable that needs to be replaced with the name of the specific component you want to get documentation for. For example, if you're looking for documentation on the "file" module, you will replace "${plugin_name}" with "file".
By executing this command, Ansible will display the documentation related to the specified component type and name, providing details on available parameters, usage examples, and other related information.
