Similarly to
sed -i
andperl -i
.This allows checking if sort.py correctly sorts the relevant lines in a
profile without having to overwrite it, which makes debugging and
testing easier (for example, in #6261).
Note: If it finds items that are not sorted, it still sorts them, prints
the diff and returns an error.
