Sets (replaces) a range in the buffer

This is recommended over nvim_buf_set_lines() when only modifying parts of a line, as extmarks will be preserved on non-modified parts of the touched lines.

Indexing is zero-based. Row indices are end-inclusive, and column indices are end-exclusive.

To insert text at a given (row, column) location, use start_row = end_row = row and start_col = end_col = col. To delete the text in a range, use replacement = {}.

Prefer nvim_buf_set_lines() if you are only adding or deleting entire lines.

Parameters:

• {buffer} Buffer handle, or 0 for current buffer
• {start_row} First line index
• {start_col} Starting column (byte offset) on first line
• {end_row} Last line index, inclusive
• {end_col} Ending column (byte offset) on last line, exclusive
• {replacement} Array of lines to use as replacement
