{ replaceVarsWith }:
/**
`replaceVars` is a wrapper around the [bash function `substitute`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute)
in the stdenv. It allows for terse replacement of names in the specified path, while checking
for common mistakes such as naming a replacement that does nothing or forgetting a variable which
needs to be replaced.
As with the [`--subst-var-by`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute-subst-var-by)
flag, names are encoded as `@name@` in the provided file at the provided path.
Any unmatched variable names in the file at the provided path will cause a build failure.
By default, any remaining text that matches `@[A-Za-z_][0-9A-Za-z_'-]@` in the output after replacement
has occurred will cause a build failure. Variables can be excluded from this check by passing "null" for them.
# Inputs
`src` ([Store Path](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/latest/store/store-path.html#store-path) String)
: The file in which to replace variables.
`replacements` (AttrsOf String)
: Each entry in this set corresponds to a `--subst-var-by` entry in [`substitute`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute) or
null to keep it unchanged.
# Example
```nix
{ replaceVars }:
replaceVars ./greeting.txt { world = "hello"; }
```
See `../../test/replace-vars/default.nix` for tests of this function.
