    short_description: read file contents
    description:
        - This lookup returns the contents from a file on the Ansible controller's file system.
    options:
      _terms:
        description: path(s) of files to read
        required: True
      rstrip:
        description: whether or not to remove whitespace from the ending of the looked-up file
        type: bool
        required: False
        default: True
      lstrip:
        description: whether or not to remove whitespace from the beginning of the looked-up file
        type: bool
        required: False
        default: False
    notes:
      - if read in variable context, the file can be interpreted as YAML if the content is valid to the parser.
      - this lookup does not understand 'globbing', use the fileglob lookup instead.
    seealso:
      - ref: playbook_task_paths
        description: Search paths used for relative files.
