Description:

def write_config(config, newlines=2):
    '''
    Writes the given parameter config into the config file. This function is
    intended to be used from states.

    If :mod:`syslog_ng.set_config_file
    <salt.modules.syslog_ng.set_config_file>`, is called before, this function
    will use the set config file.

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' syslog_ng.write_config config='# comment'

    '''
    succ = _write_config(config, newlines)
    changes = _format_changes(new=config)
    return _format_state_result(name='', result=succ, changes=changes)
