lookup: pipe
author: Daniel Hokka Zakrisson <daniel@hozac.com>
version_added: "0.9"
short_description: read output from a command
description:
- Run a command and return the output
options:
_terms:
description: command(s) to run
required: True
notes:
- Like all lookups this runs on the Ansible controller and is unaffected by other keywords, such as become,
so if you need to different permissions you must change the command or run Ansible as another user.
- Alternatively you can use a shell/command task that runs against localhost and registers the result.
