By explicitly setting the depth, this module will only go as deep as the depth. default: 0 files_matching: version_added: "2.2" description: - Limit the variables that are loaded within any directory to this regular expression. default: null ignore_files: version_added: "2.2" description: - List of file names to ignore.
