macOS で Ansible を使うときのインベントリファイルのパス

macOS に homebrew で Ansible をインストールした場合、インベントリファイルの位置は /usr/local/etc/ansible/hosts になるようです。これは ansible --help した際の -i INVENTORY オプション部分の説明に表示されます。

-i INVENTORY, --inventory-file=INVENTORY
                      specify inventory host path
                      (default=/usr/local/etc/ansible/hosts) or comma
                      separated host list.
