module RDoc::Encoding

This class is a wrapper around File IO and Encoding that helps RDoc load files and convert them to the correct encoding.

Public Class Methods

read_file(filename, encoding, force_transcode = false) click to toggle source

Reads the contents of filename and handles any encoding directives in the file.

The content will be converted to the encoding. If the file cannot be converted a warning will be printed and nil will be returned.

If force_transcode is true the document will be transcoded and any unknown character in the target encoding will be replaced with '?'

set_encoding(string) click to toggle source

Sets the encoding of string based on the magic comment

  string =~ /\A(?:#!.*\n)?(.*\n)/

  first_line = $1

  name = case first_line

         when /\b(?:en)?coding[=:]\s*([^\s;]+)/i   then $1
         else                                           return
         end

  return unless Object.const_defined? :Encoding
