+Ensures that a given line is contained within a file. The implementation
+matches the full line, including whitespace at the beginning and end. If
+the line is not contained in the given file, Puppet will add the line to
+ensure the desired state. Multiple resources may be declared to manage
+multiple lines in the same file.

+*Parameters within `file_line`:*
+
+**`after`**
+
+An optional value used to specify the line after which we will add any new
+lines. (Existing lines are added in place)

+**`line`**
+
+The line to be appended to the file located by the path parameter.

+
+An optional regular expression to run against existing lines in the file;
+if a match is found, we replace that line rather than adding a new line.

+**`multiple`**
+
+An optional value to determine if match can change multiple lines.
+
+**`name`**
+
+An arbitrary name used as the identity of the resource.
