ansible.builtin.superset test – is the list a superset of this other list

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 superset. However, we recommend you use the Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) ansible.builtin.superset for easy linking to the plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same test plugin name.
