+module: raw
+short_description: Executes a low-down and dirty command
+version_added: historical
+options:
+  free_form:
+    description:
+      - The raw module takes a free form command to run.
+      - There is no parameter actually named 'free form'; see the examples!
+    required: true
+  executable:
+    description:
+      - Change the shell used to execute the command. Should be an absolute path to the executable.
+      - When using privilege escalation (C(become)) a default shell will be assigned if one is not provided
+        as privilege escalation requires a shell.
+    version_added: "1.0"
+description:
+     - Executes a low-down and dirty SSH command, not going through the module
+       subsystem.
+     - This is useful and should only be done in a few cases. A common
+       case is installing C(python) on a system without python installed by default.
+       Another is speaking to any devices such as
+       routers that do not have any Python installed. In any other case, using
+       the M(ansible.builtin.shell) or M(ansible.builtin.command) module is much more appropriate.
+     - Arguments given to C(raw) are run directly through the configured remote shell.
+     - Standard output, error output and return code are returned when
+       available.
+     - There is no change handler support for this module.
+     - This module does not require python on the remote system, much like
+       the M(ansible.builtin.script) module.
+     - This module is also supported for Windows targets.

+        details: This action is one of the few that requires no Python on the remote as it passes the command directly into the connection string
+        platforms: all
+    raw:
+      support: full
+notes:
+    - "If using raw from a playbook, you may need to disable fact gathering
+      using C(gather_facts: no) if you're using C(raw) to bootstrap python
+      onto the machine."
+    - If you want to execute a command securely and predictably, it may be
+      better to use the M(ansible.builtin.command) or M(ansible.builtin.shell) modules instead.
+    - The C(environment) keyword does not work with raw normally, it requires a shell
+      which means it only works if C(executable) is set or using the module
+      with privilege escalation (C(become)).
