Inputs

    
ucs:
    description:
    - The path to the UCS file to install. The parameter must be provided if the C(state)
      is either C(installed) or C(activated). When C(state) is C(absent), the full path
      for this parameter will be ignored and only the filename will be used to select
      a UCS for removal. Therefore you could specify C(/mickey/mouse/test.ucs) and this
      module would only look for C(test.ucs).

force:
    choices:
    - true
    - false
    description:
    - If C(yes) will upload the file every time and replace the file on the device. If
      C(no), the file will only be uploaded if it does not already exist. Generally should
      be C(yes) only in cases where you have reason to believe that the image was corrupted
      during upload.

state:
    choices:
    - absent
    - installed
    - present
    default: present
    description:
    - When C(installed), ensures that the UCS is uploaded and installed, on the system.
      When C(present), ensures that the UCS is uploaded. When C(absent), the UCS will
      be removed from the system. When C(installed), the uploading of the UCS is idempotent,
      however the installation of that configuration is not idempotent.
