ansible.builtin.vault_encrypted test – Is this an encrypted vault

Note

This test plugin is part of ansible-core and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short plugin name vault_encrypted even without specifying the collections: keyword. However, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same test plugin name.

New in ansible-base 2.10
