+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::
