Augeas is a tool that provides an abstraction layer for all the complexities that turn around editing files with regular expressions.

This method is a wrapper around Rudder Augeas module.

The method has in total 5 parameters:

Path: Path of the file

example: /etc/hosts
Script: rAugeas script to run on the file. The module adds audit capabilities to Augeas by introducing an additional directive called check.

example: check /files/etc/hosts/1/ipaddr is ipv4
If_script: Only run the script if this rAugeas script succeeds

example: check /files/etc/hosts/1/canonical ~ localhost
Lens: Lens to use (defaults to detecting the lens based on file path) For a list of supported lenses refer to the Augeas documentation

example: Hosts
Show_content: Allow reports to contain extracts of the file content (defaults to true)

example: true
