OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       state  'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present'

       line   Specifies the line which should be absent or present

              Must be present, if state is present.  Must not be combined with regex, if state is
              absent.

       regex  If state is present, search for this pattern and  add  given  line,  if  the  given
              regular expression does not match.

              In case of absent, ensure all lines matching the regular expression are absent.

              The regular expression is interpreted by grep.

              Must not be combined with line, if state is absent.

       file   If supplied, use this as the destination file.  Otherwise the object_id is used.
