+short_description: Manage Windows path environment variables
+description:
+    - Allows element-based ordering, addition, and removal of Windows path environment variables.
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Target path environment variable name
+    default: PATH
+  elements:
+    description:
+      - A single path element, or a list of path elements (ie, directories) to add or remove.
+      - When multiple elements are included in the list (and C(state) is C(present)), the elements are guaranteed to appear in the same relative order in the resultant path value.
+      - Variable expansions (eg, C(%VARNAME%)) are allowed, and are stored unexpanded in the target path element.
+      - Any existing path elements not mentioned in C(elements) are always preserved in their current order.
+      - New path elements are appended to the path, and existing path elements may be moved closer to the end to satisfy the requested ordering.
+      - Paths are compared in a case-insensitive fashion, and trailing backslashes are ignored for comparison purposes. However, note that trailing backslashes in YAML require quotes.
+    required: true
+  state:
+    description:
+      - Whether the path elements specified in C(elements) should be present or absent.
+    choices:
+      - present
+      - absent
+  scope:
+    description:
+      - The level at which the environment variable specified by C(name) should be managed (either for the current user or global machine scope).
+    choices:
+      - machine
+      - user
+    default: machine
+author: "Matt Davis (@nitzmahone)"
+notes:
+   - This module is for modifying indidvidual elements of path-like
+     environment variables. For general-purpose management of other
+     environment vars, use the M(win_environment) module.
+   - This module does not broadcast change events.
+     This means that the minority of windows applications which can have
+     their environment changed without restarting will not be notified and
+     therefore will need restarting to pick up new environment settings.
+     User level environment variables will require an interactive user to
+     log out and in again before they become available.
