options:
mode:
description:
- "Mode the file or directory should be. For those used to I(/usr/bin/chmod) remember that modes are actually octal numbers.
You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible's YAML parser knows it is an octal
number (like C(0644) or C(01777)) or quote it (like C('644') or C('1777')) so Ansible
receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Giving Ansible a number
without following one of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.
As of version 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, C(u+rwx) or C(u=rw,g=r,o=r))."

- As of version 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, C(u+rwx) or
C(u=rw,g=r,o=r)).
- As of version 2.6, the mode may also be the special string C(preserve).
- When set to C(preserve) the file will be given the same permissions as the source file.
owner:
description:
- Name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to I(chown).

group:

seuser:
description:
- User part of SELinux file context. Will default to system policy, if
applicable. If set to C(_default), it will use the C(user) portion of the
policy if available.
- The user part of the SELinux file context.
- By default it uses the C(system) policy, where applicable.
- When set to C(_default), it will use the C(user) portion of the policy if available.
serole:
description:
- Role part of SELinux file context, C(_default) feature works as for I(seuser).
- The role part of the SELinux file context.
- When set to C(_default), it will use the C(role) portion of the policy if available.
setype:
description:
- Type part of SELinux file context, C(_default) feature works as for I(seuser).
- The type part of the SELinux file context.
- When set to C(_default), it will use the C(type) portion of the policy if available.
selevel:
description:
- Level part of the SELinux file context. This is the MLS/MCS attribute,
sometimes known as the C(range). C(_default) feature works as for
I(seuser).
default: "s0"
- The level part of the SELinux file context.

default: s0
unsafe_writes:
description:
- By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data
corruption or inconsistent reads from the target files,
but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted files,
which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner.
- This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of
updating files when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes).
IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption.

attributes:
description:
- Attributes the file or directory should have. To get supported flags look at the man page for I(chattr) on the target system.
This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by I(lsattr).
- C(=) operator is assumed as default, otherwise C(+) or C(-) operators need to be included in the string.
