Hello,

I am looking for a way to obtain the limit specified when running a playbook.

[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks\_variables.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_variables.html) doesn’t seem to contain information about this.  
vars[‘ansible\_play\_batch’] is not really suited, as it shows all hosts which are targetted, not the groupname if a group is specified.

Thanks,  
Will.
