Simple query on usage of ">" in tasks.

[behzad...@gmail.com]

I am going through a playbook, where the tasks have the following format:

- name: Start and add that the metadata service to the init sequence (Ubuntu)

  service: >

    name=ceph-mds

    state=started

    enabled=yes

    args="id={{ ansible_hostname }}"

  when: ansible_distribution == "Ubuntu"

I didn't get the ">" on the line "service: >". I have never used it that way and was curious what it does.

regards,

Behzad

it is a YAMLism, allows for multiline content, you may have also seen
| used the same way.
