-# take a list of files and (optionally) a list of paths
-# return the first existing file found in the paths
-# [file1, file2, file3], [path1, path2, path3]
-# search order is:
-# path1/file1
-# path1/file2
-# path1/file3
-# path2/file1
-# path2/file2
-# path2/file3
-# path3/file1
-# path3/file2
-# path3/file3
-
-# first file found with os.path.exists() is returned
-# no file matches raises ansibleerror
-# EXAMPLES
-#  - name: copy first existing file found to /some/file
-#    action: copy src=$item dest=/some/file
-#    with_first_found: 
-#     - files: foo ${inventory_hostname} bar
-#       paths: /tmp/production /tmp/staging
-
-# that will look for files in this order:
-# /tmp/production/foo
-#                 ${inventory_hostname}
-#                 bar
-# /tmp/staging/foo
-#              ${inventory_hostname}
-#              bar
-                  
-#  - name: copy first existing file found to /some/file
-#    action: copy src=$item dest=/some/file
-#    with_first_found: 
-#     - files: /some/place/foo ${inventory_hostname} /some/place/else
-
-#  that will look for files in this order:
-#  /some/place/foo
-#  $relative_path/${inventory_hostname}
-#  /some/place/else
-
-# example - including tasks:
-#  tasks:
-#  - include: $item
-#    with_first_found:
-#     - files: generic
-#       paths: tasks/staging tasks/production
-# this will include the tasks in the file generic where it is found first (staging or production)
-
-# example simple file lists
-#tasks:
-#- name: first found file
-#  action: copy src=$item dest=/etc/file.cfg
-#  with_first_found:
-#  - files: foo.${inventory_hostname} foo
-
-
-# example skipping if no matched files
-# First_found also offers the ability to control whether or not failing
-# to find a file returns an error or not
-#
-#- name: first found file - or skip
-#  action: copy src=$item dest=/etc/file.cfg
-#  with_first_found:
-#  - files: foo.${inventory_hostname}
-#    skip: true
-
-# the above will return an empty list if the files cannot be found at all
-# if skip is unspecificed or if it is set to false then it will return a list 
-# error which can be caught bye ignore_errors: true for that action.
-
-# finally - if you want you can use it, in place to replace first_available_file:
-# you simply cannot use the - files, path or skip options. simply replace
-# first_available_file with with_first_found and leave the file listing in place
-#
-#
-#  - name: with_first_found like first_available_file
-#    action: copy src=$item dest=/tmp/faftest
-#    with_first_found:
-#     - ../files/foo
-#     - ../files/bar
-#     - ../files/baz
-#    ignore_errors: true
