    description:
      - Specify additional options by passing in an array.
      - Each space-separated command-line option should be a new element of the array. See examples.
      - Command-line options with multiple elements must use multiple lines in the array, one for each element.

  remote_src:
    description:
      - Set to C(true) to indicate the archived file is already on the remote system and not local to the Ansible controller.
      - This option is mutually exclusive with C(copy).

  validate_certs:
    description:
      - This only applies if using a https URL as the source of the file.
      - This should only set to C(false) used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificate.
      - Prior to 2.2 the code worked as if this was set to C(true).

todo:
    - Re-implement tar support using native tarfile module.
    - Re-implement zip support using native zipfile module.
notes:
    - Requires C(zipinfo) and C(gtar)/C(unzip) command on target host.
    - Requires C(zstd) command on target host to expand I(.tar.zst) files.
    - Can handle I(.zip) files using C(unzip) as well as I(.tar), I(.tar.gz), I(.tar.bz2), I(.tar.xz), and I(.tar.zst) files using C(gtar).
    - Does not handle I(.gz) files, I(.bz2) files, I(.xz), or I(.zst) files that do not contain a I(.tar) archive.
    - Existing files/directories in the destination which are not in the archive
      are not touched. This is the same behavior as a normal archive extraction.
    - Existing files/directories in the destination which are not in the archive
      are ignored for purposes of deciding if the archive should be unpacked or not.
