+# Role `reboot`
+
+A role for rebooting a host, which also handles local connections gracefully.
+
+## Optional Arguments
+
+- `reboot__local_handling`: How to handle reboot on local connections. The default mode is `none`.  
+  Possible choices:
+  - `none`: Just runs `ansible.builtin.reboot`, which would fail on local connections.
+  - `ignore`: Just doesn't reboot on local connections.
+  - `file`: Doesn't reboot on local connections and instead touches the file defined by `reboot__local_handling_file`.
+- `reboot__local_handling_file`: The file to touch, if `reboot__local_handling` is `file`. Defaults to `/var/run/ansible-reboot-required`.
