Inputs

    
rpcs:
    description:
    - The C(rpcs) argument accepts a list of RPCs to be executed over a netconf session
      and the results from the RPC execution is return to the playbook via the modules
      results dictionary.
    elements: str
    type: list

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 I(wait_for) must be satisfied.  If the value is set
      to C(any) then only one of the values must be satisfied.
    type: str

display:
    aliases:
    - format
    - output
    choices:
    - text
    - json
    - xml
    - set
    description:
    - Encoding scheme to use when serializing output from the device. This handles how
      to properly understand the output and apply the conditionals path to the result
      set. For I(rpcs) argument default display is C(xml) and for I(commands) argument
      default display is C(text). Value C(set) is applicable only for fetching configuration
      from device.
    type: str

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

commands:
    description:
    - The commands to send to the remote junos 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 I(retries) has been exceeded.
    elements: str
    type: list

interval:
    default: 1
    description:
    - Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command.  If the

      to wait before trying the command again.
    type: int

wait_for:
    aliases:
    - waitfor
    description:
    - Specifies what to evaluate from the output of the command and what conditionals
      to apply.  This argument will cause the task to wait for a particular conditional

      retries, the task fails.  See examples.
