+    default: 0
+    description:
+      - Maximum available network bandwidth in bytes/second. Used with the
+        I(throttle) option.
+      - If I(throttle) is a percentage and bandwidth is C(0) then bandwidth
+        throttling will be disabled. If I(throttle) is expressed as a data rate
+        (bytes/sec) then this option is ignored. Default is C(0) (no bandwidth
+        throttling).
+  baseurl:
+    required: false

+        repository.
+  exclude:

+        space separated list. Shell globs using wildcards (eg. C(*) and C(?))
+        are allowed.
+      - The list can also be a regular YAML array.
+  failovermethod:
+    required: false
+    choices: [roundrobin, priority]
+    default: roundrobin
+    description:
+      - C(roundrobin) randomly selects a URL out of the list of URLs to start
+        with and proceeds through each of them as it encounters a failure
+        contacting the host.
+      - C(priority) starts from the first baseurl listed and reads through them
+        sequentially.

+        downloads that Yum does.
+      - C(all) means that all HTTP downloads should be cached.
+      - C(packages) means that only RPM package downloads should be cached (but
+         not repository metadata downloads).
+      - C(none) means that no HTTP downloads should be cached.
+  includepkgs:
+    required: false
+    default: None
+    description:
+      - List of packages you want to only use from a repository. This should be
+        a space separated list. Shell globs using wildcards (eg. C(*) and C(?))

+  skip_if_unavailable:
+    required: false
+    choices: ['yes', 'no']
+    default: 'no'
+    description:
+      - If set to C(yes) yum will continue running if this repository cannot be

+    description:
+      - Whether yum should check the permissions on the paths for the
+        certificates on the repository (both remote and local).
+      - If we can't read any of the files then yum will force
+        I(skip_if_unavailable) to be true. This is most useful for non-root
+        processes which use yum on repos that have client cert files which are
+        readable only by root.
+  sslclientcert:
+    required: false
+    default: None

+  throttle:
+    required: false
+    default: None
+    description:
+      - Enable bandwidth throttling for downloads.
+      - This option can be expressed as a absolute data rate in bytes/sec. An
+        SI prefix (k, M or G) may be appended to the bandwidth value.
+  timeout:
+    required: false
+    default: 30
+    description:
+      - Number of seconds to wait for a connection before timing out.

+
+extends_documentation_fragment: files
+
+notes:
+  - All comments will be removed if modifying an existing repo file.
+  - Section order is preserved in an existing repo file.
+  - Parameters in a section are ordered alphabetically in an existing repo
+    file.
