title: Get the full path of the symlink target in Ansible
body: <p>How do I get the full path of a symlink target in Ansible? I'm trying to cleanup a folder--delete files older than <em>x</em> number of days but I don't want to remove the target of a particular file symlink. My plan is to get the symlink target and then use the value as an exclude target when using the <code>find</code> module.</p>
  
  <p>The symlink target changes from time to time. I tried using the <code>stat</code> module but it doesn't solve my requirement.</p>
