NAME

       Rex::Group::Lookup::INI - read host names and groups from an INI style file

DESCRIPTION

       With this module you can define host groups in an INI style file.

SYNOPSIS

        use Rex::Group::Lookup::INI;
        groups_file 'file.ini';

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

   groups_file($file)
       With this function you can read groups from INI style files.

       File example:

        # servers.ini
        [webservers]
        fe01
        fe02

        [backends]
        be[01..03]

       It supports the same expressions as the group command.

       Since 0.42, it also supports custom host properties if the use_server_auth feature flag is enabled:

        # servers.ini
        [webservers]
        server01 user=root password=foob4r sudo=true services=apache,memcache

        # Rexfile
        use Rex -feature => ['use_server_auth'];

        task 'list_services', group => 'webservers', sub {
          say connection->server->option('services');
        }
