It can be used to manage swap files (that require contiguous blocks) or alternatively, huge sparse files. author: - quidame (@quidame) version_added: "3.0.0" attributes: check_mode: support: full diff_mode: support: full options: path: description: - Path of the regular file to create or resize. type: path required: true size: description: - Requested size of the file. - The value is a number (either C(int) or C(float)) optionally followed by a multiplicative suffix, that can be one of C(B) (bytes), C(KB) or C(kB) (= 1000B), C(MB) or C(mB) (= 1000kB), C(GB) or C(gB) (= 1000MB), and so on for C(T), C(P), C(E), C(Z) and C(Y); or alternatively one of C(K), C(k) or C(KiB) (= 1024B); C(M), C(m) or C(MiB) (= 1024KiB); C(G), C(g) or C(GiB) (= 1024MiB); and so on. - If the multiplicative suffix is not provided, the value is treated as an integer number of blocks of I(blocksize) bytes each (float values are rounded to the closest integer). - When the I(size) value is equal to the current file size, does nothing. - When the I(size) value is bigger than the current file size, bytes from I(source) (if I(sparse) is not C(false)) are appended to the file without truncating it, in other words, without modifying the existing bytes of the file. - When the I(size) value is smaller than the current file size, it is truncated to the requested value without modifying bytes before this value. - That means that a file of any arbitrary size can be grown to any other arbitrary size, and then resized down to its initial size without modifying its initial content. type: raw required: true blocksize: description: - Size of blocks, in bytes if not followed by a multiplicative suffix. - The numeric value (before the unit) C(MUST) be an integer (or a C(float) if it equals an integer). - If not set, the size of blocks is guessed from the OS and commonly results in C(512) or C(4096) bytes, that is used internally by the module or when I(size) has no unit. type: raw source: description: - Device or file that provides input data to provision the file. - This parameter is ignored when I(sparse=true). type: path default: /dev/zero force: description: - Whether or not to overwrite the file if it exists, in other words, to truncate it from 0. When C(true), the module is not idempotent, that means it always reports I(changed=true). - I(force=true) and I(sparse=true) are mutually exclusive. type: bool default: false sparse: description: - Whether or not the file to create should be a sparse file. - This option is effective only on newly created files, or when growing a file, only for the bytes to append. - This option is not supported on OSes or filesystems not supporting sparse files. - I(force=true) and I(sparse=true) are mutually exclusive. type: bool default: false unsafe_writes: description: - This option is silently ignored.
