+``doas`` can be used as a connection method that supports connection delegation, or
+as a become method.
+
+When used as a become method:
+
+* ``ansible_python_interpreter``
+* ``ansible_become_exe``: path to ``doas`` binary.
+* ``ansible_become_user`` (default: ``root``)
+* ``ansible_become_pass`` (default: assume passwordless)
+* ansible.cfg: ``timeout``
+
+When used as the ``mitogen_doas`` connection method:
+
+* The inventory hostname has no special meaning.
+* ``ansible_user``: username to use.
+* ``ansible_password``: password to use.
+* ``ansible_python_interpreter``
