Template module question

Hello.

I am writing a custom module that works with files for my needs(it's
my first module for Ansible) and I want to have templating system
support. I have looked at template module source code[1] in core
modules repository and can't understand... where is the actual module
code and what is "virtual module"? Maybe someone could provide a
documentation link on this?

Thanks.

I am not sure if I scrubbed any/all references to a "virtual module" yet, but that what really means is an "action_plugin".

The template module for instance consists of componentry that runs on the ansible control machine (the action_plugin "template") as well as the remote side (the regular module "template").

(More of a topic for ansible-devel list really)

Anyhow, the template action_plugin isn't really easily reusable, due to the way it's written to just pair with the "template" module on the other side.

Thanks for the help, now I understand.

For other peoples who could google this thread:
The actual code of a template module here[1].
