Module options

Force : You need to force the creation of a soft link in both cases, one where the source file does not exist but will be established later, the other is that the target soft link already exists, need to first cancel the previous soft chain, and then create a new soft chain, there are two options: Yes|no

Group : Defines a group of files/directories

Mode : Define permissions for files/directories

owner : Defines the owner of a file/directory

path: required option, defines the path to the file/directory

recurse: Properties of the recursive settings file, valid only for the directory

src : The path to the source file to be linked to only the State=link case

dest : The path that is linked to, applies only to the case of State=link

State :

Directory : If the directory does not exist, create a directory

file : Even if the file does not exist, it will not be created

Link : Creating a soft link

Hard : Create a hard link

Touch : If the file does not exist, a new file is created and the last modified time is updated if the file or directory already exists

Absent : Deleting directories, files, or unlinked files
