+Opts dictionary and SLS name
+----------------------------
+
+Pyobjects provides variable access to the minion options dictionary and the SLS
+name that the code resides in. These variables are the same as the `opts` and
+`sls` variables available in the Jinja renderer.
+
+The following lines show how to access that information.
