+module: filesize
+
+short_description: Create a file with a given size, or resize it if it exists
+
+description:
+  - This module is a simple wrapper around C(dd) to create, extend or truncate
+    a file, given its size. It can be used to manage swap files (that require
+    contiguous blocks) or alternatively, huge sparse files.
+
+author:
+  - quidame (@quidame)
+
+version_added: "3.0.0"
+
+options:
+  path:
+    description:
+      - Path of the regular file to create or resize.
+    type: path
+    required: true
+  size:
+    description:
+      - Requested size of the file.
+      - The value is a number (either C(int) or C(float)) optionally followed
+        by a multiplicative suffix, that can be one of C(B) (bytes), C(KB) or
+        C(kB) (= 1000B), C(MB) or C(mB) (= 1000kB), C(GB) or C(gB) (= 1000MB),
+        and so on for C(T), C(P), C(E), C(Z) and C(Y); or alternatively one of
+        C(K), C(k) or C(KiB) (= 1024B); C(M), C(m) or C(MiB) (= 1024KiB);
+        C(G), C(g) or C(GiB) (= 1024MiB); and so on.
+      - If the multiplicative suffix is not provided, the value is treated as
+        an integer number of blocks of I(blocksize) bytes each (float values
+        are rounded to the closest integer).
+      - When the I(size) value is equal to the current file size, does nothing.
+      - When the I(size) value is bigger than the current file size, bytes from
+        I(source) (if I(sparse) is not C(false)) are appended to the file
+        without truncating it, in other words, without modifying the existing
+        bytes of the file.
+      - When the I(size) value is smaller than the current file size, it is
+        truncated to the requested value without modifying bytes before this
+        value.
+      - That means that a file of any arbitrary size can be grown to any other
+        arbitrary size, and then resized down to its initial size without
+        modifying its initial content.
+    type: raw
+    required: true
+  blocksize:
+    description:
+      - Size of blocks, in bytes if not followed by a multiplicative suffix.
+      - The numeric value (before the unit) C(MUST) be an integer (or a C(float)
+        if it equals an integer).
+      - If not set, the size of blocks is guessed from the OS and commonly
+        results in C(512) or C(4096) bytes, that is used internally by the
+        module or when I(size) has no unit.
+    type: raw
+  source:
+    description:
+      - Device or file that provides input data to provision the file.
+      - This parameter is ignored when I(sparse=true).

+    description:
+      - Whether or not to overwrite the file if it exists, in other words, to
+        truncate it from 0. When C(true), the module is not idempotent, that
+        means it always reports I(changed=true).
+      - I(force=true) and I(sparse=true) are mutually exclusive.
+    type: bool
+    default: false
+  sparse:
+    description:
+      - Whether or not the file to create should be a sparse file.
+      - This option is effective only on newly created files, or when growing a
+        file, only for the bytes to append.
+      - This option is not supported on OpenBSD, Solaris and AIX.
+      - I(force=true) and I(sparse=true) are mutually exclusive.
+    type: bool
+    default: false
+
+notes:
+  - This module supports C(check_mode) and C(diff).
