DESCRIPTION

12       Config command line class
13

COMMON OPTIONS

15       --version
16          show program's version number, config file location, configured mod‐
17          ule search path, module location, executable location and exit
18
19       -h, --help
20          show this help message and exit
21
22       -v, --verbose
23          Causes Ansible to print more debug messages. Adding multiple -v will
24          increase the verbosity, the builtin plugins currently evaluate up to
25          -vvvvvv. A reasonable level to start is -vvv,  connection  debugging
26          might require -vvvv.
