Writing your own modules
````````````````````````
To write your own modules, simply follow the convention of those
already available in /usr/share/ansible. Modules must return JSON but
can be written in any language. Modules should return hashes, but
hashes can be nested.
To support change hooks, modules should return hashes with a changed:
True/False element at the top level::
{
'changed' : True,
'something' : 42
}
Modules can also choose to indicate a failure scenario by returning a
top level ``failure`` element with a True value, and a ``msg`` element
describing the nature of the failure. Other return values are up to
the module::
{
'failure' : True,
'msg' : "here is what happened..."
}
When shipping modules, drop them in /usr/share/ansible, or specify the
module path to the command line tool or API. It is easy to test
modules by running them directly on the command line, passing them
arguments just like they would be passed with ansible.
