       cdist-type__line - Manage lines in files


DESCRIPTION

       This cdist type allows you to add lines and remove lines from files.


REQUIRED PARAMETERS

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.

           # Manage the DAEMONS line in rc.conf

           # Ensure the home mount is present in /etc/fstab - explicitly make it present
