          None

       --ask-vault-password, --ask-vault-pass
          ask for vault password

       --export
          When doing an --list, represent in a  way  that  is  optimized  for  export,not  as  an
          accurate representation of how Ansible has processed it

       --graph
          create inventory graph, if supplying pattern it must be a valid group name

       --host 'HOST'
          Output specific host info, works as inventory script

          ==SUPPRESS==

       --output 'OUTPUT_FILE'
          When doing --list, send the inventory to a file instead of to the screen

       --playbook-dir 'BASEDIR'
          Since   this   tool  does  not  use  playbooks,  use  this  as  a  substitute  playbook

          etc.
