+module: ios_command
+version_added: "2.1"
+author: "Peter sprygada (@privateip)"
+short_description: Run arbitrary commands on ios devices.
+description:
+  - Sends arbitrary commands to an ios node and returns the results
+    read from the device. The M(ios_command) module includes an
+    argument that will cause the module to wait for a specific condition
+    before returning or timing out if the condition is not met.

+options:
+  commands:
+    description:
+      - List of commands to send to the remote ios device over the
+        configured provider. The resulting output from the command
+        is returned. If the I(waitfor) argument is provided, the
+        module is not returned until the condition is satisfied or
+        the number of retires as expired.
+    required: true
+  waitfor:
+    description:
+      - List of conditions to evaluate against the output of the
+        command. The task will wait for a each condition to be true
+        before moving forward. If the conditional is not true
+        within the configured number of retries, the task fails.
+        See examples.
+    required: false
+    default: null
+  retries:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the number of retries a command should by tried
+        before it is considered failed. The command is run on the
+        target device every retry and evaluated against the
+        waitfor conditions.
+    required: false
+    default: 10
+  interval:
+    description:
+      - Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries
+        of the command. If the command does not pass the specified
+        conditions, the interval indicates how long to wait before
+        trying the command again.
