Hi,

I am using the following snippet as part of a play.  
I have to refresh the yum repository list as I will replace the repository file every time I run the playbook .  
So , After having a successful play to copy my test.repo file to /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo . I am able to successfully run the “yum repolist” with command module.

> - name: Refresh the yum repository cache  
> #yum:
> 
> # update\_cache: yes
> 
> command: “yum repolist”  
> register: repo\_list

But ansible suggest to use yum module , but the doc have no equivalent for the “repolist” of yum .  
Is “update\_cache” do the same fuction like “yum repolist”?
