Inputs

    
match:
    choices:
    - any
    - all
    default: all
    description:
    - The I(match) argument is used in conjunction with the I(wait_for) argument to specify
      the match policy.  Valid values are C(all) or C(any).  If the value is set to C(all)
      then all conditionals in the wait_for must be satisfied.  If the value is set to
      C(any) then only one of the values must be satisfied.

retries:
    default: 10
    description:
    - Specifies the number of retries a command should by tried before it is considered
      failed. The command is run on the target device every retry and evaluated against
      the I(wait_for) conditions.

commands:
    description:
    - List of commands to send to the remote device. The resulting output from the command
      is returned. If the I(wait_for) argument is provided, the module is not returned
      until the condition is satisfied or the number of retires is expired.
    required: true

interval:
    default: 1
    description:
    - Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command. If the
      command does not pass the specified conditions, the interval indicates how long
      to wait before trying the command again.

wait_for:
    description:
    - List of conditions to evaluate against the output of the command. The task will
      wait for each condition to be true before moving forward. If the conditional is
      not true within the configured number of retries, the task fails. See examples.
