Note
This lookup plugin is part of ansible-core
and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short plugin name fileglob
even without specifying the collections:
keyword. However, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same lookup plugin name.
