description:
- - The M(ansible.builtin.shell) module takes the command name followed by a list of space-delimited arguments.
- - Either a free form command or O(cmd) parameter is required, see the examples.

+ - Either a free form command or C(cmd) parameter is required, see the examples.
- It is almost exactly like the M(ansible.builtin.command) module but runs
the command through a shell (C(/bin/sh)) on the remote node.
- For Windows targets, use the M(ansible.windows.win_shell) module instead.

- An alternative to using inline shell scripts with this module is to use
the M(ansible.builtin.script) module possibly together with the M(ansible.builtin.template) module.
- For rebooting systems, use the M(ansible.builtin.reboot) or M(ansible.windows.win_reboot) module.
- - If the command returns non UTF-8 data, it must be encoded to avoid issues. One option is to pipe
- the output through C(base64).
