module FileUtils
¶ ↑
Namespace for several file utility methods for copying, moving, removing, etc.
Module Functions¶ ↑
cd(dir, options) cd(dir, options) {|dir| .... } pwd() mkdir(dir, options) mkdir(list, options) mkdir_p(dir, options) mkdir_p(list, options) rmdir(dir, options) rmdir(list, options) ln(old, new, options) ln(list, destdir, options) ln_s(old, new, options) ln_s(list, destdir, options) ln_sf(src, dest, options) cp(src, dest, options) cp(list, dir, options) cp_r(src, dest, options) cp_r(list, dir, options) mv(src, dest, options) mv(list, dir, options) rm(list, options) rm_r(list, options) rm_rf(list, options) install(src, dest, mode = <src's>, options) chmod(mode, list, options) chmod_R(mode, list, options) chown(user, group, list, options) chown_R(user, group, list, options) touch(list, options)
The options
parameter is a hash of options, taken from the list :force
, :noop
, :preserve
, and :verbose
. :noop
means that no changes are made. The other two are obvious. Each method documents the options that it honours.
All methods that have the concept of a “source” file or directory can take either one file or a list of files in that argument. See the method documentation for examples.
There are some ‘low level’ methods, which do not accept any option:
copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = false) copy_file(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = true) copy_stream(srcstream, deststream) remove_entry(path, force = false) remove_entry_secure(path, force = false) remove_file(path, force = false) compare_file(path_a, path_b) compare_stream(stream_a, stream_b) uptodate?(file, cmp_list)
module FileUtils::Verbose¶ ↑
This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but it outputs messages before acting. This equates to passing the :verbose
flag to methods in FileUtils
.
module FileUtils::NoWrite¶ ↑
This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but never changes files/directories. This equates to passing the :noop
flag to methods in FileUtils
.
module FileUtils::DryRun¶ ↑
This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but never changes files/directories. This equates to passing the :noop
and :verbose
flags to methods in FileUtils
.

Public Class Methods
To overcome Ruby’s “Module Inclusion Problem”, whenever a module is included into FileUtils
, then the sub-modules re-include FileUtils
to ensure inclusion of the new module as well.
# File lib/fileutils2.rb, line 94 def self.include(mod) super mod extend self [Verbose, NoWrite, DryRun].each do |base| base.send(:include, self) #FileUtils) base.extend(base) # extend self end end

Public Instance Methods
Options: verbose
Changes the current directory to the directory dir
.
If this method is called with block, resumes to the old working directory after the block execution finished.
FileUtils.cd('/', :verbose => true) # chdir and report it FileUtils.cd('/') do # chdir [...] # do something end # return to original directory

Changes owner and group on the named files (in list
) to the user user
and the group group
. user
and group
may be an ID (Integer/String) or a name (String). If user

Copies a file system entry src
to dest
. If src
is a directory, this method copies its contents recursively. This method preserves file types, c.f. symlink, directory… (FIFO, device files and etc. are not supported yet)
Both of src
and dest
must be a path name. src
must exist, dest
must not exist.
If preserve
is true, this method preserves owner, group, permissions and modified time.
If dereference_root
is true, this method dereference tree root.
If remove_destination
is true, this method removes each destination file before copy.
# File lib/fileutils2.rb, line 541 def copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false) Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference_root).wrap_traverse(proc do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) File.unlink destent.path if remove_destination && File.file?(destent.path) ent.copy destent.path end, proc do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) ent.copy_metadata destent.path if preserve end) end

must respond to write(str).
# File lib/fileutils2.rb, line 571 def copy_stream(src, dest) IO.copy_stream(src, dest) end
Options: preserve noop verbose
Copies a file content src
to dest
. If dest
is a directory, copies src
to dest/src
.
If src
is a list of files, then dest
must be a directory.

# File lib/fileutils2.rb, line 879 def remove_dir(path, force = false) remove_entry path, force # FIXME?? check if it is a directory end
This method removes a file system entry path

This method removes a file system entry path
. path
shall be a regular file, a directory, or something. If path
is a directory, remove it recursively. This method is required to avoid TOCTTOU (time-of-check-to-time-of-use) local security vulnerability of rm_r
. rm_r
causes security hole when:
* Parent directory is world writable (including /tmp). * Removing directory tree includes world writable directory. * The system has symbolic link.
To avoid this security hole, this method applies special preprocess. If path
is a directory, this method chown(2) and chmod(2) all removing directories. This requires the current process is the owner of the removing whole directory tree, or is the super user (root).
WARNING: You must ensure that ALL parent directories cannot be moved by other untrusted users. For example, parent directories should not be owned by untrusted users, and should not be world writable except when the sticky bit set.
WARNING: Only the owner of the removing directory tree, or Unix super user (root) should invoke this method. Otherwise this method does not work.
For details of this security vulnerability, see Perl’s case:
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0448 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0452

WARNING: This method causes local vulnerability if one of parent directories or removing directory tree are world writable (including /tmp, whose permission is 1777), and the current process has strong privilege such as Unix super user (root), and the system has symbolic link. For secure removing, read the documentation of remove_entry_secure
carefully, and set :secure option to true. Default is :secure=>false.

Removes one or more directories.

Updates modification time (mtime) and access time (atime) of file(s) in list
. Files are created if they don’t exist.

Options: (none)
Returns true if newer
is newer than all old_list
. Non-existent files are older than any file.
