How to get ansible module info

[Hiero-nymus]

Hi everyone,

During the lab, I'm using the ansible-doc command to get details about a module or use ansible-doc --list to get all builtin module.

How to retrieve another module list like ansible.posix or so on? By example, how can I get info about ansible.posix.firewalld? yeah, because there'll be not internet access during exams

Best regards

Hello  @Hiero-nymus 

Due to the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), I cannot divulge any details about the examination's content.

In your lab environment, using the ansible-doc command will not retrieve information on the "ansible.posix.firewalld" module because it belongs to a separate collection, namely posix. Also, ansible-doc works only for builtin modules.

I recommend that you study ansible-navigator and its subcommands more thoroughly. For more detailed information, refer to the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.0 Creator Guide, which is available at this link:
