+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+You can perform the following operations.
+
+Managing snapshots on PowerScale.
+
+Create a writable snapshot.
+
+Delete a writable snapshot.
+
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
+
+- A Dell PowerScale Storage system.
+- Ansible-core 2.15 or later.
+- Python 3.10, 3.11 or 3.12.
+
+
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+  writable_snapshots (False, list, None)
+    List of writable snapshots details.
+
+
+    state (optional, str, present)
+      The state of the writable snapshot to create or delete.
+
+      \ :emphasis:`state`\  is \ :literal:`present`\  - To create a writable snapshot.
+
+      \ :emphasis:`state`\  is \ :literal:`absent`\  - To delete the writable snapshot.
+
+
+    dst_path (True, path, None)
+      The /ifs of the writable snapshot.
+
+      The destination path should be non-existing path and it is absolute path.
+
+
+    src_snap (False, str, None)
+      The source snapshot name or ID.
+
+      This option is required \ :emphasis:`state`\  is \ :literal:`present`\ .
+
+
+
+  onefs_host (True, str, None)
+    IP address or FQDN of the PowerScale cluster.
+
+
+  port_no (False, str, 8080)
+    Port number of the PowerScale cluster.It defaults to 8080 if not specified.
+
+
+  verify_ssl (True, bool, None)
+    boolean variable to specify whether to validate SSL certificate or not.
+
+    \ :literal:`true`\  - indicates that the SSL certificate should be verified.
+
+    \ :literal:`false`\  - indicates that the SSL certificate should not be verified.
+
+
+  api_user (True, str, None)
+    username of the PowerScale cluster.
+
+
+  api_password (True, str, None)
+    the password of the PowerScale cluster.
+
+
+
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - The \ :emphasis:`writable\_snapshots`\  parameter will follow the order of deleting operations before creating operations.
+   - The modules present in this collection named as 'dellemc.powerscale' are built to support the Dell PowerScale storage platform.
