       before Insert the given line before this pattern.

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

       line   Specifies the line which should be absent or present.

              Must  be  present,  if  state  is  'present' or 'replace'.  Ignored if regex is given and state is
              'absent'.

       regex  If state is 'present', search for this pattern and if it matches add the given line.

              If state is 'absent', ensure all lines matching the regular expression are absent.

              If state is 'replace', ensure all lines matching the regular expression are exactly 'line'.

              The regular expression is interpreted by awk's match function.

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