    '''
    .. versionadded:: 0.17.0

    Replace occurrences of a pattern in a file. If ``show_changes`` is
    ``True``, then a diff of what changed will be returned, otherwise a
    ``True`` will be returnd when changes are made, and ``False`` when
    no changes are made.

    This is a pure Python implementation that wraps Python's :py:func:`~re.sub`.

    path
        Filesystem path to the file to be edited

    pattern
        A regular expression, to be matched using Python's
        :py:func:`~re.search`.

    repl
        The replacement text

    count : 0
        Maximum number of pattern occurrences to be replaced. If count is a
        positive integer ``n``, only ``n`` occurrences will be replaced,
        otherwise all occurrences will be replaced.

    flags (list or int)
        A list of flags defined in the :ref:`re module documentation
        <contents-of-module-re>`. Each list item should be a string that will
        correlate to the human-friendly flag name. E.g., ``['IGNORECASE',
        'MULTILINE']``. Optionally, ``flags`` may be an int, with a value
        corresponding to the XOR (``|``) of all the desired flags. Defaults to
        8 (which supports 'MULTILINE').

    bufsize (int or str)
        How much of the file to buffer into memory at once. The
        default value ``1`` processes one line at a time. The special value
        ``file`` may be specified which will read the entire file into memory
        before processing.

    append_if_not_found : False
        .. versionadded:: 2014.7.0

        If set to ``True``, and pattern is not found, then the content will be
        appended to the file.

    prepend_if_not_found : False
        .. versionadded:: 2014.7.0

        If set to ``True`` and pattern is not found, then the content will be
        prepended to the file.

    not_found_content
        .. versionadded:: 2014.7.0

        Content to use for append/prepend if not found. If None (default), uses
        ``repl``. Useful when ``repl`` uses references to group in pattern.

    backup : .bak
        The file extension to use for a backup of the file before editing. Set
        to ``False`` to skip making a backup.

    dry_run : False
        If set to ``True``, no changes will be made to the file, the function
        will just return the changes that would have been made (or a
        ``True``/``False`` value if ``show_changes`` is set to ``False``).

    search_only : False
        If set to true, this no changes will be performed on the file, and this
        function will simply return ``True`` if the pattern was matched, and
        ``False`` if not.

    show_changes : True
        If ``True``, return a diff of changes made. Otherwise, return ``True``
        if changes were made, and ``False`` if not.

        .. note::
            Using this option will store two copies of the file in memory (the
            original version and the edited version) in order to generate the
            diff. This may not normally be a concern, but could impact
            performance if used with large files.

    ignore_if_missing : False
        .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0

        If set to ``True``, this function will simply return ``False``
        if the file doesn't exist. Otherwise, an error will be thrown.

    preserve_inode : True
        .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0

        Preserve the inode of the file, so that any hard links continue to
        share the inode with the original filename. This works by *copying* the
        file, reading from the copy, and writing to the file at the original
        inode. If ``False``, the file will be *moved* rather than copied, and a
        new file will be written to a new inode, but using the original
        filename. Hard links will then share an inode with the backup, instead
        (if using ``backup`` to create a backup copy).

    If an equal sign (``=``) appears in an argument to a Salt command it is
    interpreted as a keyword argument in the format ``key=val``. That
    processing can be bypassed in order to pass an equal sign through to the
    remote shell command by manually specifying the kwarg:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' file.replace /path/to/file pattern='=' repl=':'
        salt '*' file.replace /path/to/file pattern="bind-address\\s*=" repl='bind-address:'

    CLI Examples:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' file.replace /etc/httpd/httpd.conf pattern='LogLevel warn' repl='LogLevel info'
        salt '*' file.replace /some/file pattern='before' repl='after' flags='[MULTILINE, IGNORECASE]'
