description:
     - Sets attributes of files, symlinks, and directories, or removes
       files/symlinks/directories. Many other modules support the same options as
       the M(file) module - including M(copy), M(template), and M(assemble).
notes:
    - See also M(copy), M(template), M(assemble)
requirements: [ ]

  state:
    description:
      - If C(directory), all immediate subdirectories will be created if they
        do not exist, since 1.7 they will be created with the supplied permissions.
        If C(file), the file will NOT be created if it does not exist, see the M(copy)
        or M(template) module if you want that behavior.  If C(link), the symbolic
        link will be created or changed. Use C(hard) for hardlinks. If C(absent),
        directories will be recursively deleted, and files or symlinks will be unlinked.
        If C(touch) (new in 1.4), an empty file will be created if the C(path) does not
        exist, while an existing file or directory will receive updated file access and
        modification times (similar to the way `touch` works from the command line).

        not exist (but will appear later); the destination exists and is a file (so, we need to unlink the
        "path" file and create symlink to the "src" file in place of it).'
