class IO
Expect library adds the IO instance method expect, which does similar act to tcl's expect extension.
In order to use this method, you must require expect:
require 'expect'
Please see expect for usage.
The IO class is the basis for all input and output in Ruby. An I/O stream may be duplexed (that is, bidirectional), and so may use more than one native operating system stream.
Many of the examples in this section use the File class, the only standard subclass of IO. The two classes are closely associated. Like the File class, the Socket library subclasses from IO (such as TCPSocket or UDPSocket).
The Kernel#open method can create an IO (or File) object for these types of arguments:
-
A plain string represents a filename suitable for the underlying operating system.
-
A string starting with
"|"
indicates a subprocess. The remainder of the string following the"|"
is invoked as a process with appropriate input/output channels connected to it. -
A string equal to
"|-"
will create another Ruby instance as a subprocess.
The IO may be opened with different file modes (read-only, write-only) and encodings for proper conversion. See ::new for these options. See Kernel#open for details of the various command formats described above.
::popen, the Open3 library, or Process#spawn may also be used to communicate with subprocesses through an IO.
Ruby will convert pathnames between different operating system conventions
if possible. For instance, on a Windows system the filename
"/gumby/ruby/test.rb"
will be opened as
"\gumby\ruby\test.rb"
. When specifying a
Windows-style filename in a Ruby string, remember to escape the
backslashes:
"c:\\gumby\\ruby\\test.rb"
Our examples here will use the Unix-style forward slashes; File::ALT_SEPARATOR can be used to get the platform-specific separator character.
The global constant ARGF (also accessible as $<) provides an IO-like stream which allows access to all files mentioned on the command line (or STDIN if no files are mentioned). ARGF#path and its alias ARGF#filename are provided to access the name of the file currently being read.
io/console¶ ↑
The io/console extension provides methods for interacting with the console. The console can be accessed from ::console or the standard input/output/error IO objects.
Requiring io/console adds the following methods:
Example:
require 'io/console' rows, columns = $stdin.winsize puts "Your screen is #{columns} wide and #{rows} tall"
Constants
- SEEK_CUR
- SEEK_END
- SEEK_SET
Public Class Methods
Opens the file, optionally seeks to the given offset, then returns
length bytes (defaulting to the rest of the file).
binread
ensures the file is closed before returning. The open
mode would be “rb:ASCII-8BIT”.
IO.binread("testfile") #=> "This is line one\nThis is line two\nThis is line three\nAnd so on...\n" IO.binread("testfile", 20) #=> "This is line one\nThi" IO.binread("testfile", 20, 10) #=> "ne one\nThis is line "
static VALUE rb_io_s_binread(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { VALUE offset; struct foreach_arg arg; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "12", NULL, NULL, &offset); FilePathValue(argv[0]); arg.io = rb_io_open(argv[0], rb_str_new_cstr("rb:ASCII-8BIT"), Qnil, Qnil); if (NIL_P(arg.io)) return Qnil; arg.argv = argv+1; arg.argc = (argc > 1) ? 1 : 0; if (!NIL_P(offset)) { rb_io_seek(arg.io, offset, SEEK_SET); } return rb_ensure(io_s_read, (VALUE)&arg, rb_io_close, arg.io); }
Same as IO.write
except opening the file in binary mode and
ASCII-8BIT encoding (“wb:ASCII-8BIT”).
static VALUE rb_io_s_binwrite(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { return io_s_write(argc, argv, 1); }
Returns an File instance opened console.
You must require 'io/console' to use this method.
static VALUE console_dev(VALUE klass) { VALUE con = 0; rb_io_t *fptr; if (klass == rb_cIO) klass = rb_cFile; if (rb_const_defined(klass, id_console)) { con = rb_const_get(klass, id_console); if (RB_TYPE_P(con, T_FILE)) { if ((fptr = RFILE(con)->fptr) && GetReadFD(fptr) != -1) return con; } rb_mod_remove_const(klass, ID2SYM(id_console)); } { VALUE args[2]; #if defined HAVE_TERMIOS_H || defined HAVE_TERMIO_H || defined HAVE_SGTTY_H # define CONSOLE_DEVICE "/dev/tty" #elif defined _WIN32 # define CONSOLE_DEVICE "con$" # define CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_READING "conin$" # define CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_WRITING "conout$" #endif #ifndef CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_READING # define CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_READING CONSOLE_DEVICE #endif #ifdef CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_WRITING VALUE out; rb_io_t *ofptr; #endif int fd; #ifdef CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_WRITING fd = rb_cloexec_open(CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_WRITING, O_RDWR, 0); if (fd < 0) return Qnil; rb_update_max_fd(fd); args[1] = INT2FIX(O_WRONLY); args[0] = INT2NUM(fd); out = rb_class_new_instance(2, args, klass); #endif fd = rb_cloexec_open(CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_READING, O_RDWR, 0); if (fd < 0) { #ifdef CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_WRITING rb_io_close(out); #endif return Qnil; } rb_update_max_fd(fd); args[1] = INT2FIX(O_RDWR); args[0] = INT2NUM(fd); con = rb_class_new_instance(2, args, klass); GetOpenFile(con, fptr); fptr->pathv = rb_obj_freeze(rb_str_new2(CONSOLE_DEVICE)); #ifdef CONSOLE_DEVICE_FOR_WRITING GetOpenFile(out, ofptr); # ifdef HAVE_RB_IO_GET_WRITE_IO ofptr->pathv = fptr->pathv; fptr->tied_io_for_writing = out; # else fptr->f2 = ofptr->f; ofptr->f = 0; # endif ofptr->mode |= FMODE_SYNC; #endif fptr->mode |= FMODE_SYNC; rb_const_set(klass, id_console, con); } return con; }
::copy_stream copies src to dst. src and dst is either a filename or an IO.
This method returns the number of bytes copied.
If optional arguments are not given, the start position of the copy is the beginning of the filename or the current file offset of the IO. The end position of the copy is the end of file.
If copy_length is given, No more than copy_length bytes are copied.
If src_offset is given, it specifies the start position of the copy.
When src_offset is specified and src is an IO, ::copy_stream doesn't move the current file offset.
static VALUE rb_io_s_copy_stream(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { VALUE src, dst, length, src_offset; struct copy_stream_struct st; MEMZERO(&st, struct copy_stream_struct, 1); rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "22", &src, &dst, &length, &src_offset); st.src = src; st.dst = dst; if (NIL_P(length)) st.copy_length = (off_t)-1; else st.copy_length = NUM2OFFT(length); if (NIL_P(src_offset)) st.src_offset = (off_t)-1; else st.src_offset = NUM2OFFT(src_offset); rb_fd_init(&st.fds); rb_ensure(copy_stream_body, (VALUE)&st, copy_stream_finalize, (VALUE)&st); return OFFT2NUM(st.total); }
Synonym for IO.new
.
static VALUE rb_io_s_for_fd(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass) { VALUE io = rb_obj_alloc(klass); rb_io_initialize(argc, argv, io); return io; }
Executes the block for every line in the named I/O port, where lines are separated by sep.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
IO.foreach("testfile") {|x| print "GOT ", x }
produces:
GOT This is line one GOT This is line two GOT This is line three GOT And so on...
If the last argument is a hash, it's the keyword argument to open. See
IO.read
for detail.
static VALUE rb_io_s_foreach(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) { VALUE opt; int orig_argc = argc; struct foreach_arg arg; argc = rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "13:", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &opt); RETURN_ENUMERATOR(self, orig_argc, argv); open_key_args(argc, argv, opt, &arg); if (NIL_P(arg.io)) return Qnil; return rb_ensure(io_s_foreach, (VALUE)&arg, rb_io_close, arg.io); }
Returns a new IO object (a stream) for the given
integer file descriptor fd
and mode
string.
opt
may be used to specify parts of mode
in a
more readable fashion. See also ::sysopen and ::for_fd.
::new is called by various File and IO opening methods such as ::open, Kernel#open, and File.open.
Open Mode¶ ↑
When mode
is an integer it must be combination of the modes
defined in File::Constants
(File::RDONLY
, +File::WRONLY | File::CREAT+). See the open(2)
man page for more information.
When mode
is a string it must be in one of the following
forms:
fmode fmode ":" ext_enc fmode ":" ext_enc ":" int_enc fmode ":" "BOM|UTF-*"
fmode
is an IO open mode string,
ext_enc
is the external encoding for the IO and int_enc
is the internal encoding.
IO Open Mode¶ ↑
Ruby allows the following open modes:
"r" Read-only, starts at beginning of file (default mode). "r+" Read-write, starts at beginning of file. "w" Write-only, truncates existing file to zero length or creates a new file for writing. "w+" Read-write, truncates existing file to zero length or creates a new file for reading and writing. "a" Write-only, each write call appends data at end of file. Creates a new file for writing if file does not exist. "a+" Read-write, each write call appends data at end of file. Creates a new file for reading and writing if file does not exist.
The following modes must be used separately, and along with one or more of the modes seen above.
"b" Binary file mode Suppresses EOL <-> CRLF conversion on Windows. And sets external encoding to ASCII-8BIT unless explicitly specified. "t" Text file mode
When the open mode of original IO is read only, the mode cannot be changed to be writable. Similarly, the open mode cannot be changed from write only to readable.
When such a change is attempted the error is raised in different locations according to the platform.
IO Encoding¶ ↑
When ext_enc
is specified, strings read will be tagged by the
encoding when reading, and strings output will be converted to the
specified encoding when writing.
When ext_enc
and int_enc
are specified read
strings will be converted from ext_enc
to int_enc
upon input, and written strings will be converted from int_enc
to ext_enc
upon output. See Encoding for further details of transcoding on
input and output.
If “BOM|UTF-8”, “BOM|UTF-16LE” or “BOM|UTF16-BE” are used, ruby checks for
a Unicode BOM in the input document to help determine the encoding. For
UTF-16 encodings the file open mode must be binary. When present, the BOM
is stripped and the external encoding from the BOM is used. When the BOM
is missing the given Unicode encoding is used as ext_enc
.
(The BOM-set encoding option is case insensitive, so “bom|utf-8” is also
valid.)
Options¶ ↑
opt
can be used instead of mode
for improved
readability. The following keys are supported:
- :mode
-
Same as
mode
parameter - :external_encoding
-
External encoding for the IO. “-” is a synonym for the default external encoding.
- :internal_encoding
-
Internal encoding for the IO. “-” is a synonym for the default internal encoding.
If the value is nil no conversion occurs.
- :encoding
-
Specifies external and internal encodings as “extern:intern”.
- :textmode
-
If the value is truth value, same as “t” in argument
mode
. - :binmode
-
If the value is truth value, same as “b” in argument
mode
. - :autoclose
-
If the value is
false
, thefd
will be kept open after this IO instance gets finalized.
Also, opt
can have same keys in String#encode for controlling
conversion between the external encoding and the internal encoding.
Example 1¶ ↑
fd = IO.sysopen("/dev/tty", "w") a = IO.new(fd,"w") $stderr.puts "Hello" a.puts "World"
Produces:
Hello World
Example 2¶ ↑
require 'fcntl' fd = STDERR.fcntl(Fcntl::F_DUPFD) io = IO.new(fd, mode: 'w:UTF-16LE', cr_newline: true) io.puts "Hello, World!" fd = STDERR.fcntl(Fcntl::F_DUPFD) io = IO.new(fd, mode: 'w', cr_newline: true, external_encoding: Encoding::UTF_16LE) io.puts "Hello, World!"
Both of above print “Hello, World!” in UTF-16LE to standard error output
with converting EOL generated by puts
to CR.
static VALUE rb_io_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { VALUE fnum, vmode; rb_io_t *fp; int fd, fmode, oflags = O_RDONLY; convconfig_t convconfig; VALUE opt; #if defined(HAVE_FCNTL) && defined(F_GETFL) int ofmode; #else struct stat st; #endif rb_secure(4); argc = rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11:", &fnum, &vmode, &opt); rb_io_extract_modeenc(&vmode, 0, opt, &oflags, &fmode, &convconfig); fd = NUM2INT(fnum); if (rb_reserved_fd_p(fd)) { rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "The given fd is not accessible because RubyVM reserves it"); } #if defined(HAVE_FCNTL) && defined(F_GETFL) oflags = fcntl(fd, F_GETFL); if (oflags == -1) rb_sys_fail(0); #else if (fstat(fd, &st) == -1) rb_sys_fail(0); #endif rb_update_max_fd(fd); #if defined(HAVE_FCNTL) && defined(F_GETFL) ofmode = rb_io_oflags_fmode(oflags); if (NIL_P(vmode)) { fmode = ofmode; } else if ((~ofmode & fmode) & FMODE_READWRITE) { VALUE error = INT2FIX(EINVAL); rb_exc_raise(rb_class_new_instance(1, &error, rb_eSystemCallError)); } #endif if (!NIL_P(opt) && rb_hash_aref(opt, sym_autoclose) == Qfalse) { fmode |= FMODE_PREP; } MakeOpenFile(io, fp); fp->fd = fd; fp->mode = fmode; fp->encs = convconfig; clear_codeconv(fp); io_check_tty(fp); if (fileno(stdin) == fd) fp->stdio_file = stdin; else if (fileno(stdout) == fd) fp->stdio_file = stdout; else if (fileno(stderr) == fd) fp->stdio_file = stderr; if (fmode & FMODE_SETENC_BY_BOM) io_set_encoding_by_bom(io); return io; }
With no associated block, IO.open
is a synonym for ::new. If the optional code block is
given, it will be passed io
as an argument, and the IO object will automatically be closed when the block
terminates. In this instance, ::open
returns the value of the block.
See ::new for a description of the
fd
, mode
and opt
parameters.
static VALUE rb_io_s_open(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass) { VALUE io = rb_class_new_instance(argc, argv, klass); if (rb_block_given_p()) { return rb_ensure(rb_yield, io, io_close, io); } return io; }
Creates a pair of pipe endpoints (connected to each other) and returns them
as a two-element array of IO
objects: [
read_io, write_io ]
.
If a block is given, the block is called and returns the value of the block. read_io and write_io are sent to the block as arguments. If read_io and write_io are not closed when the block exits, they are closed. i.e. closing read_io and/or write_io doesn't cause an error.
Not available on all platforms.
If an encoding (encoding name or encoding object) is specified as an optional argument, read string from pipe is tagged with the encoding specified. If the argument is a colon separated two encoding names “A:B”, the read string is converted from encoding A (external encoding) to encoding B (internal encoding), then tagged with B. If two optional arguments are specified, those must be encoding objects or encoding names, and the first one is the external encoding, and the second one is the internal encoding. If the external encoding and the internal encoding is specified, optional hash argument specify the conversion option.
In the example below, the two processes close the ends of the pipe that
they are not using. This is not just a cosmetic nicety. The read end of a
pipe will not generate an end of file condition if there are any writers
with the pipe still open. In the case of the parent process, the
rd.read
will never return if it does not first issue a
wr.close
.
rd, wr = IO.pipe if fork wr.close puts "Parent got: <#{rd.read}>" rd.close Process.wait else rd.close puts "Sending message to parent" wr.write "Hi Dad" wr.close end
produces:
Sending message to parent Parent got: <Hi Dad>
static VALUE rb_io_s_pipe(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass) { int pipes[2], state; VALUE r, w, args[3], v1, v2; VALUE opt; rb_io_t *fptr, *fptr2; int fmode = 0; VALUE ret; argc = rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "02:", &v1, &v2, &opt); if (rb_pipe(pipes) == -1) rb_sys_fail(0); args[0] = klass; args[1] = INT2NUM(pipes[0]); args[2] = INT2FIX(O_RDONLY); r = rb_protect(io_new_instance, (VALUE)args, &state); if (state) { close(pipes[0]); close(pipes[1]); rb_jump_tag(state); } GetOpenFile(r, fptr); io_encoding_set(fptr, v1, v2, opt); args[1] = INT2NUM(pipes[1]); args[2] = INT2FIX(O_WRONLY); w = rb_protect(io_new_instance, (VALUE)args, &state); if (state) { close(pipes[1]); if (!NIL_P(r)) rb_io_close(r); rb_jump_tag(state); } GetOpenFile(w, fptr2); rb_io_synchronized(fptr2); extract_binmode(opt, &fmode); #if DEFAULT_TEXTMODE if ((fptr->mode & FMODE_TEXTMODE) && (fmode & FMODE_BINMODE)) { fptr->mode &= ~FMODE_TEXTMODE; setmode(fptr->fd, O_BINARY); } #if defined(RUBY_TEST_CRLF_ENVIRONMENT) || defined(_WIN32) if (fptr->encs.ecflags & ECONV_DEFAULT_NEWLINE_DECORATOR) { fptr->encs.ecflags |= ECONV_UNIVERSAL_NEWLINE_DECORATOR; } #endif #endif fptr->mode |= fmode; #if DEFAULT_TEXTMODE if ((fptr2->mode & FMODE_TEXTMODE) && (fmode & FMODE_BINMODE)) { fptr2->mode &= ~FMODE_TEXTMODE; setmode(fptr2->fd, O_BINARY); } #endif fptr2->mode |= fmode; ret = rb_assoc_new(r, w); if (rb_block_given_p()) { VALUE rw[2]; rw[0] = r; rw[1] = w; return rb_ensure(rb_yield, ret, pipe_pair_close, (VALUE)rw); } return ret; }
Runs the specified command as a subprocess; the subprocess's standard
input and output will be connected to the returned IO
object.
The PID of the started process can be obtained by #pid method.
cmd is a string or an array as follows.
cmd: "-" : fork commandline : command line string which is passed to a shell [env, cmdname, arg1, ..., opts] : command name and zero or more arguments (no shell) [env, [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ..., opts] : command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell) (env and opts are optional.)
If cmd is a String
“-
'', then a
new instance of Ruby is started as the subprocess.
If cmd is an Array
of String
, then it
will be used as the subprocess's argv
bypassing a shell.
The array can contains a hash at first for environments and a hash at last
for options similar to spawn
.
The default mode for the new file object is “r'', but mode may be set to any of the modes listed in the description for class IO. The last argument opt qualifies mode.
# set IO encoding IO.popen("nkf -e filename", :external_encoding=>"EUC-JP") {|nkf_io| euc_jp_string = nkf_io.read } # merge standard output and standard error using # spawn option. See the document of Kernel.spawn. IO.popen(["ls", "/", :err=>[:child, :out]]) {|ls_io| ls_result_with_error = ls_io.read } # spawn options can be mixed with IO options IO.popen(["ls", "/"], :err=>[:child, :out]) {|ls_io| ls_result_with_error = ls_io.read }
Raises exceptions which IO.pipe
and Kernel.spawn
raise.
If a block is given, Ruby will run the command as a child connected to Ruby
with a pipe. Ruby's end of the pipe will be passed as a parameter to
the block. At the end of block, Ruby close the pipe and sets
$?
. In this case IO.popen
returns the value of
the block.
If a block is given with a cmd of “-
'', the
block will be run in two separate processes: once in the parent, and once
in a child. The parent process will be passed the pipe object as a
parameter to the block, the child version of the block will be passed
nil
, and the child's standard in and standard out will be
connected to the parent through the pipe. Not available on all platforms.

Opens the file, optionally seeks to the given offset
, then
returns length
bytes (defaulting to the rest of the file).
read
ensures the file is closed before returning.
If the last argument is a hash, it specifies option for internal open(). The key would be the following. open_args: is exclusive to others.
- encoding
-
string or encoding
specifies encoding of the read string.
encoding
will be ignored if length is specified. - mode
-
string
specifies mode argument for open(). It should start with “r” otherwise it will cause an error.
- open_args
-
array of strings
specifies arguments for open() as an array.

Calls select(2) system call. It monitors given arrays of IO
objects, waits one or more of IO
objects ready for reading,
are ready for writing, and have pending exceptions respectably, and returns
an array that contains arrays of those IO objects.
It will return nil
if optional timeout value is given
and no IO
object is ready in timeout seconds.

Opens the file, optionally seeks to the given offset, writes
string, then returns the length written. write
ensures the file is closed before returning. If offset is not
given, the file is truncated. Otherwise, it is not truncated.
If the last argument is a hash, it specifies option for internal open(). The key would be the following. open_args: is exclusive to others.
encoding: string or encoding specifies encoding of the read string. encoding will be ignored if length is specified. mode: string specifies mode argument for open(). it should start with "w" or "a" or "r+" otherwise it would cause error. perm: fixnum specifies perm argument for open(). open_args: array specifies arguments for open() as an array.

Announce an intention to access data from the current file in a specific pattern. On platforms that do not support the <em>posix_fadvise(2)</em> system call, this method is a no-op.
advice is one of the following symbols:
* :normal - No advice to give; the default assumption for an open file. * :sequential - The data will be accessed sequentially: with lower offsets read before higher ones. * :random - The data will be accessed in random order. * :willneed - The data will be accessed in the near future. * :dontneed - The data will not be accessed in the near future. * :noreuse - The data will only be accessed once.
The semantics of a piece of advice are platform-dependent. See man 2 posix_fadvise for details.
"data" means the region of the current file that begins at _offset_ and extends for _len_ bytes. If _len_ is 0, the region ends at the last byte of the file. By default, both _offset_ and _len_ are 0, meaning that the advice applies to the entire file. If an error occurs, one of the following exceptions will be raised: * <code>IOError</code> - The <code>IO</code> stream is closed. * <code>Errno::EBADF</code> - The file descriptor of the current file is invalid. * <code>Errno::EINVAL</code> - An invalid value for _advice_ was given. * <code>Errno::ESPIPE</code> - The file descriptor of the current * file refers to a FIFO or pipe. (Linux raises <code>Errno::EINVAL</code> * in this case). * <code>TypeError</code> - Either _advice_ was not a Symbol, or one of the other arguments was not an <code>Integer</code>. * <code>RangeError</code> - One of the arguments given was too big/small.
- This list is not exhaustive; other Errno
-
exceptions are also possible.

Ruby sets close-on-exec flags of all file descriptors by default since Ruby 2.0.0. So you don't need to set by yourself. Also, unsetting a close-on-exec flag can cause file descriptor leak if another thread use fork() and exec() (via system() method for example). If you really needs file descriptor inheritance to child process, use spawn()'s argument such as fd=>fd.

Reads from the IO until the given
pattern
matches or the timeout
is over.
It returns an array with the read buffer, followed by the matches. If a block is given, the result is yielded to the block and returns nil.
When called without a block, it waits until the input that matches the
given pattern
is obtained from the IO or
the time specified as the timeout passes. An array is returned when the
pattern is obtained from the IO. The first element of
the array is the entire string obtained from the IO
until the pattern matches, followed by elements indicating which the
pattern which matched to the anchor in the regular expression.
The optional timeout parameter defines, in seconds, the total time to wait for the pattern. If the timeout expires or eof is found, nil is returned or yielded. However, the buffer in a timeout session is kept for the next expect call. The default timeout is 9999999 seconds.

Provides a mechanism for issuing low-level commands to control or query
file-oriented I/O streams. Arguments and results are platform dependent. If
arg is a number, its value is passed directly. If it is a string,

Flushes any buffered data within ios to the underlying operating system (note that this is Ruby internal buffering only; the OS may buffer the data as well).
$stdout.print "no newline" $stdout.flush
produces:
no newline
VALUE rb_io_flush(VALUE io) { rb_io_t *fptr; if (!RB_TYPE_P(io, T_FILE)) { return rb_funcall(io, id_flush, 0); } io = GetWriteIO(io); GetOpenFile(io, fptr); if (fptr->mode & FMODE_WRITABLE) { if (io_fflush(fptr) < 0) rb_sys_fail(0); #ifdef _WIN32 if (GetFileType((HANDLE)rb_w32_get_osfhandle(fptr->fd)) == FILE_TYPE_DISK) { rb_thread_io_blocking_region(nogvl_fsync, fptr, fptr->fd); } #endif } if (fptr->mode & FMODE_READABLE) { io_unread(fptr); } return io; }
Immediately writes all buffered data in ios to disk. Note that
fsync
differs from using IO#sync=
. The latter
ensures that data is flushed from Ruby's buffers, but does not
guarantee that the underlying operating system actually writes it to disk.
NotImplementedError
is raised if the underlying operating
system does not support fsync(2).

static VALUE console_getch(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { rawmode_arg_t opts, *optp = rawmode_opt(argc, argv, &opts); return ttymode(io, getc_call, set_rawmode, optp); }
Reads the next “line'' from the I/O stream; lines are separated by
sep. A separator of nil
reads the entire contents,
and a zero-length separator reads the input a paragraph at a time (two
successive newlines in the input separate paragraphs). The stream must be
opened for reading or an IOError
will be raised. The line read
in will be returned and also assigned to $_
. Returns
nil
if called at end of file. If the first argument is an
integer, or optional second argument is given, the returning string would
not be longer than the given value in bytes.

Provides a mechanism for issuing low-level commands to control or query I/O
devices. Arguments and results are platform dependent. If arg is a
number, its value is passed directly. If it is a string, it is interpreted
as a binary sequence of bytes. On Unix platforms, see ioctl(2)
for details. Not implemented on all platforms.

static VALUE rb_io_isatty(VALUE io) { rb_io_t *fptr; GetOpenFile(io, fptr); if (isatty(fptr->fd) == 0) return Qfalse; return Qtrue; }
Returns the current line number in ios. The stream must be opened
for reading. lineno
counts the number of times gets is called rather than the number of
newlines encountered. The two values will differ if gets is called with a separator other than
newline.
Methods that use $/
like each, lines and readline will also increment
lineno
.

Writes the given object(s) to ios. The stream must be opened for
writing. If the output field separator ($,

nil
, it will be inserted between each object. If the output
record separator ($\

, it will be
appended to the output. If no arguments are given, prints $_
.
Objects that aren't strings will be converted by calling their
to_s
method. With no argument, prints the contents of the
variable $_
. Returns nil
.

Writes the given objects to ios as with IO#print
.
Writes a record separator (typically a newline) after any that do not
already end with a newline sequence. If called with an array argument,
writes each element on a new line. If called without arguments, outputs a
single record separator.

Reads length bytes from the I/O stream.
length must be a non-negative integer or nil
.
If length is a positive integer, it try to read length
bytes without any conversion (binary mode). It returns nil
or
a string whose length is 1 to length bytes. nil
means
it met EOF at beginning. The 1 to length-1 bytes string means it
met EOF after reading the result. The length bytes string means it
doesn't meet EOF. The resulted string is always ASCII-8BIT encoding.
If length is omitted or is nil
, it reads until EOF
and the encoding conversion is applied. It returns a string even if EOF is
met at beginning.
If length is zero, it returns ""
.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
At end of file, it returns nil
or ""
depend on length. ios.read()
and
ios.read(nil)
returns ""
.
ios.read(positive-integer)
returns
nil
.
f = File.new("testfile") f.read(16) #=> "This is line one" # reads whole file open("file") {|f| data = f.read # This returns a string even if the file is empty. ... } # iterate over fixed length records. open("fixed-record-file") {|f| while record = f.read(256) ... end } # iterate over variable length records. # record is prefixed by 32-bit length. open("variable-record-file") {|f| while len = f.read(4) len = len.unpack("N")[0] # 32-bit length record = f.read(len) # This returns a string even if len is 0. end }
Note that this method behaves like fread() function in C. This means it retry to invoke read(2) system call to read data with the specified length (or until EOF). This behavior is preserved even if ios is non-blocking mode. (This method is non-blocking flag insensitive as other methods.) If you need the behavior like single read(2) system call, consider readpartial, #read_nonblock and sysread.
static VALUE io_read(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { rb_io_t *fptr; long n, len; VALUE length, str; #if defined(RUBY_TEST_CRLF_ENVIRONMENT) || defined(_WIN32) int previous_mode; #endif rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "02", &length, &str); if (NIL_P(length)) { GetOpenFile(io, fptr); rb_io_check_char_readable(fptr); return read_all(fptr, remain_size(fptr), str); } len = NUM2LONG(length); if (len < 0) { rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "negative length %ld given", len); } io_setstrbuf(&str,len); GetOpenFile(io, fptr); rb_io_check_byte_readable(fptr); if (len == 0) { io_set_read_length(str, 0); return str; } READ_CHECK(fptr); #if defined(RUBY_TEST_CRLF_ENVIRONMENT) || defined(_WIN32) previous_mode = set_binary_mode_with_seek_cur(fptr); #endif n = io_fread(str, 0, len, fptr); io_set_read_length(str, n); #if defined(RUBY_TEST_CRLF_ENVIRONMENT) || defined(_WIN32) if (previous_mode == O_TEXT) { setmode(fptr->fd, O_TEXT); } #endif if (n == 0) return Qnil; OBJ_TAINT(str); return str; }
Reads at most maxlen bytes from ios using the read(2) system call after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
#read_nonblock just calls the read(2) system call. It causes all errors the read(2) system call causes: Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EINTR, etc. The caller should care such errors.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK or Errno::AGAIN, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable. So IO::WaitReadable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying read_nonblock.
#read_nonblock causes EOFError on EOF.
If the read byte buffer is not empty, #read_nonblock reads from the buffer like readpartial. In this case, the read(2) system call is not called.
When #read_nonblock raises an exception kind of IO::WaitReadable, #read_nonblock should not be called until io is readable for avoiding busy loop. This can be done as follows.
# emulates blocking read (readpartial). begin result = io.read_nonblock(maxlen) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io]) retry end
Although #read_nonblock doesn't raise IO::WaitWritable. OpenSSL::Buffering#read_nonblock can raise IO::WaitWritable. If IO and SSL should be used polymorphically, IO::WaitWritable should be rescued too. See the document of OpenSSL::Buffering#read_nonblock for sample code.
Note that this method is identical to readpartial except the non-blocking flag is set.
static VALUE io_read_nonblock(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { VALUE ret; ret = io_getpartial(argc, argv, io, 1); if (NIL_P(ret)) rb_eof_error(); return ret; }
Reads a byte as with IO#getbyte
, but raises an
EOFError
on end of file.
static VALUE rb_io_readbyte(VALUE io) { VALUE c = rb_io_getbyte(io); if (NIL_P(c)) { rb_eof_error(); } return c; }
Reads a one-character string from ios. Raises an
EOFError
on end of file.
f = File.new("testfile") f.readchar #=> "h" f.readchar #=> "e"
static VALUE rb_io_readchar(VALUE io) { VALUE c = rb_io_getc(io); if (NIL_P(c)) { rb_eof_error(); } return c; }
Reads a line as with IO#gets
, but raises an
EOFError
on end of file.
static VALUE rb_io_readline(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { VALUE line = rb_io_gets_m(argc, argv, io); if (NIL_P(line)) { rb_eof_error(); } return line; }
Reads all of the lines in ios, and returns them in
anArray. Lines are separated by the optional sep. If
sep is nil
, the rest of the stream is returned as a
single record. If the first argument is an integer, or optional second
argument is given, the returning string would not be longer than the given
value in bytes. The stream must be opened for reading or an
IOError
will be raised.
f = File.new("testfile") f.readlines[0] #=> "This is line one\n"
static VALUE rb_io_readlines(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { VALUE line, ary, rs; long limit; prepare_getline_args(argc, argv, &rs, &limit, io); if (limit == 0) rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "invalid limit: 0 for readlines"); ary = rb_ary_new(); while (!NIL_P(line = rb_io_getline_1(rs, limit, io))) { rb_ary_push(ary, line); } return ary; }
Reads at most maxlen bytes from the I/O stream. It blocks only if
ios has no data immediately available. It doesn't block if
some data available. If the optional outbuf argument is present,
it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The
outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call
even if it is not empty at the beginning. It raises EOFError
on end of file.
readpartial is designed for streams such as pipe, socket, tty, etc. It blocks only when no data immediately available. This means that it blocks only when following all conditions hold.
-
the byte buffer in the IO object is empty.
-
the content of the stream is empty.
-
the stream is not reached to EOF.
When readpartial blocks, it waits data or EOF on the stream. If some data is reached, readpartial returns with the data. If EOF is reached, readpartial raises EOFError.
When readpartial doesn't blocks, it returns or raises immediately. If the byte buffer is not empty, it returns the data in the buffer. Otherwise if the stream has some content, it returns the data in the stream. Otherwise if the stream is reached to EOF, it raises EOFError.
r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc". r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" "" r.readpartial(4096) # blocks because buffer and pipe is empty. r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc" w.close # "" "abc" EOF r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" EOF r.readpartial(4096) # raises EOFError r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc\ndef\n" # "" "abc\ndef\n" r.gets #=> "abc\n" "def\n" "" w << "ghi\n" # "def\n" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "def\n" "" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "ghi\n" "" ""
Note that readpartial behaves similar to sysread. The differences are:
-
If the byte buffer is not empty, read from the byte buffer instead of “sysread for buffered IO (IOError)”.
-
It doesn't cause Errno::EWOULDBLOCK and Errno::EINTR. When readpartial meets EWOULDBLOCK and EINTR by read system call, readpartial retry the system call.
The later means that readpartial is nonblocking-flag insensitive. It blocks on the situation #sysread causes Errno::EWOULDBLOCK as if the fd is blocking mode.
static VALUE io_readpartial(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE io) { VALUE ret; ret = io_getpartial(argc, argv, io, 0); if (NIL_P(ret)) rb_eof_error(); return ret; }
Returns true if input available without blocking, or false. Returns nil if no information available.
static VALUE io_ready_p(VALUE io) { rb_io_t *fptr; ioctl_arg n; GetOpenFile(io, fptr); rb_io_check_readable(fptr); if (rb_io_read_pending(fptr)) return Qtrue; if (!FIONREAD_POSSIBLE_P(fptr->fd)) return Qnil; if (ioctl(fptr->fd, FIONREAD, &n)) return Qnil; if (n > 0) return Qtrue; return Qfalse; }

If single argument is specified, read string from io is tagged with the encoding specified. If encoding is a colon separated two encoding names “A:B”, the read string is converted from encoding A (external encoding) to encoding B (internal encoding), then tagged with B. If two arguments are specified, those must be encoding objects or encoding names, and the first one is the external encoding, and the second one is the internal encoding. If the external encoding and the internal encoding is specified, optional hash argument specify the conversion option.

Writes the given string to ios. The stream must be opened for
writing. If the argument is not a string, it will be converted to a string
using to_s
. Returns the number of bytes written.

static VALUE io_write_m(VALUE io, VALUE str) { return io_write(io, str, 0); }
Writes the given string to ios using the write(2) system call after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.
It returns the number of bytes written.
#write_nonblock just calls the write(2) system call. It causes all errors the write(2) system call causes: Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EINTR, etc. The result may also be smaller than string.length (partial write). The caller should care such errors and partial write.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK or Errno::AGAIN, it is extended by IO::WaitWritable. So IO::WaitWritable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying write_nonblock.
# Creates a pipe. r, w = IO.pipe # write_nonblock writes only 65536 bytes and return 65536. # (The pipe size is 65536 bytes on this environment.) s = "a" * 100000 p w.write_nonblock(s) #=> 65536 # write_nonblock cannot write a byte and raise EWOULDBLOCK (EAGAIN). p w.write_nonblock("b") # Resource temporarily unavailable (Errno::EAGAIN)
If the write buffer is not empty, it is flushed at first.
When #write_nonblock raises an exception kind of IO::WaitWritable, #write_nonblock should not be called until io is writable for avoiding busy loop. This can be done as follows.
begin result = io.write_nonblock(string) rescue IO::WaitWritable, Errno::EINTR IO.select(nil, [io]) retry end
Note that this doesn't guarantee to write all data in string. The length written is reported as result and it should be checked later.
On some platforms such as Windows, #write_nonblock is not supported
according to the kind of the IO object. In such
cases, #write_nonblock raises
Errno::EBADF
.
