module: win_file_compression
short_description: Alters the compression of files and directories on NTFS partitions.
description:
- This module sets the compressed attribute for files and directories on a filesystem that supports it like NTFS.
- NTFS compression can be used to save disk space.
options:
path:
description:
- The full path of the file or directory to modify.
- The path must exist on file system that supports compression like NTFS.
required: yes
type: path
state:
description:
- Set to C(present) to ensure the I(path) is compressed.
- Set to C(absent) to ensure the I(path) is not compressed.
type: str
choices:
- absent
- present
default: present
recurse:
description:
- Whether to recursively apply changes to all subdirectories and files.
- This option only has an effect when I(path) is a directory.
- When set to C(false), only applies changes to I(path).
- When set to C(true), applies changes to I(path) and all subdirectories and files.
type: bool
default: false
force:
description:
- This option only has an effect when I(recurse) is C(true)
- If C(true), will check the compressed state of all subdirectories and files
and make a change if any are different from I(compressed).
- If C(false), will only make a change if the compressed state of I(path) is different from I(compressed).
- If the folder structure is complex or contains a lot of files, it is recommended to set this
option to C(false) so that not every file has to be checked.
type: bool
default: true
author:
- Micah Hunsberger (@mhunsber)
notes:
- M(community.windows.win_file_compression) sets the file system's compression state, it does not create a zip
archive file.
