If you want a number to be treated as a string, you must quote it. Host lines accept multiple C(key=value) parameters per line. Therefore they need a way to indicate that a space is part of a value rather than a separator. - When declared in a C(:vars) section, INI values are interpreted as strings. For example C(var=FALSE) would create a string equal to C(FALSE). Unlike host lines, C(:vars) sections accept only a single entry per line, so everything after the C(=) must be the value for the entry. - Do not rely on types set during definition, always make sure you specify type with a filter when needed when consuming the variable. - See the Examples for proper quoting to prevent changes to variable type. notes: - Enabled in configuration by default. - Consider switching to YAML format for inventory sources to avoid confusion on the actual type of a variable. The YAML inventory plugin processes variable values consistently and correctly.
