Binary Modules Input
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Support for binary modules was added in Ansible 2.1. When Ansible detects a binary module, it will proceed to
supply the argument input as a file on ``argv[1]`` that is formatted as JSON. The JSON contents of that file
would resemble something similar to::
{
"name": "Ansible",
"_ansible_verbosity": 4,
"_ansible_diff": false,
"_ansible_debug": false,
"_ansible_check_mode": false,
"_ansible_no_log": false
}
