They are extraordinarily useful when one needs to ensure that a line or a block is either replaced or put in a config file. lineinfile # For example, let's say one wants to enable IP forwarding in the sysctl, one can write the following task in Ansible: - name: Enable IP forwarding lineinfile: dest: /etc/sysctl.conf regexp: "net.ipv4.ip_forward" line: "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" state: present What exactly this task does is: en link 0 0 null null null	null	https://fosstodon.org/@brozek/111093609530864980	2023-09-19T20:05:54.023Z
