EXAMPLES = '''
# Example setting host facts using key=value pairs
- set_fact: one_fact="something" other_fact="{{ local_var * 2 }}"
2013-06-02 00:40:04 +02:00
# Example setting host facts using complex arguments
- set_fact:
one_fact: something
other_fact: "{{ local_var * 2 }}"
# As of 1.8, Ansible will convert boolean strings ('true', 'false', 'yes', 'no')
# to proper boolean values when using the key=value syntax, however it is still
# recommended that booleans be set using the complex argument style:
- set_fact:
one_fact: true
other_fact: false
