Replaces the contents of file with contents of length bytes.

If etag is specified (not NULL) any existing file must have that etag, or the error G_IO_ERROR_WRONG_ETAG will be returned.

1 2	gFileReplaceContents(object, contents, length, etag, make.backup, flags = "G_FILE_CREATE_NONE", cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)

`object`	input `GFile`.
`contents`	a string containing the new contents for `file`.
`length`	the length of `contents` in bytes.
`etag`	the old entity tag for the document, or `NULL`
`make.backup`	`TRUE` if a backup should be created.
`flags`	a set of `GFileCreateFlags`.
`cancellable`	optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
`.errwarn`	Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

If make.backup is TRUE, this function will attempt to make a backup of file.

If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.

The returned new.etag can be used to verify that the file hasn't changed the next time it is saved over.

A list containing the following elements:

`retval`	[logical] `TRUE` if successful. If an error has occurred, this function will return `FALSE` and set `error` appropriately if present.
`new.etag`	a location to a new entity tag for the document. This should be freed with `gFree()` when no longer needed, or `NULL`
`error`	a `GError`, or `NULL`
