module FileUtils

Namespace for several file utility methods for copying, moving, removing, etc.

Module Functions

require 'fileutils' FileUtils.cd(dir, options) FileUtils.cd(dir, options) {|dir| .... } FileUtils.pwd() FileUtils.mkdir(dir, options) FileUtils.mkdir(list, options) FileUtils.mkdir_p(dir, options) FileUtils.mkdir_p(list, options) FileUtils.rmdir(dir, options) FileUtils.rmdir(list, options) FileUtils.ln(old, new, options) FileUtils.ln(list, destdir, options) FileUtils.ln_s(old, new, options) FileUtils.ln_s(list, destdir, options) FileUtils.ln_sf(src, dest, options) FileUtils.cp(src, dest, options) FileUtils.cp(list, dir, options) FileUtils.cp_r(src, dest, options) FileUtils.cp_r(list, dir, options) FileUtils.mv(src, dest, options) FileUtils.mv(list, dir, options) FileUtils.rm(list, options) FileUtils.rm_r(list, options) FileUtils.rm_rf(list, options) FileUtils.install(src, dest, mode = <src's>, options) FileUtils.chmod(mode, list, options) FileUtils.chmod_R(mode, list, options) FileUtils.chown(user, group, list, options) FileUtils.chown_R(user, group, list, options) FileUtils.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:

FileUtils.copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = false) FileUtils.copy_file(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = true) FileUtils.copy_stream(srcstream, deststream) FileUtils.remove_entry(path, force = false) FileUtils.remove_entry_secure(path, force = false) FileUtils.remove_file(path, force = false) FileUtils.compare_file(path_a, path_b) FileUtils.compare_stream(stream_a, stream_b) FileUtils.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.

METHODS

Public Class Methods

cd(dir, options = {}) click to toggle source

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
 # File fileutils.rb, line 124 def cd(dir, options = {}, &block) # :yield: dir fu_check_options options, OPT_TABLE['cd'] fu_output_message "cd #{dir}" if options[:verbose] Dir.chdir(dir, &block) fu_output_message 'cd -' if options[:verbose] and block end

chdir(dir, options = {}) click to toggle source
Alias for: cd
chmod(mode, list, options = {}) click to toggle source

Options: noop verbose

“a”

is user, group, other mask.

“u”

is user's mask.

“g”

is group's mask.

“o”

is other's mask.

“w”

is write permission.

“r”

is read permission.

“x”

is execute permission.

“X”

is execute permission for directories only, must be used in conjunction with “+”

“s”

is uid, gid.

“t”

is sticky bit.

“+”

is added to a class given the specified mode.

“-”

Is removed from a given class given mode.

“=”

chown(user, group, list, options = {}) click to toggle source

Options: noop verbose

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 or group is nil, this method does not change the attribute.

copy(src, dest, options = {}) click to toggle source
Alias for: cp
copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false) click to toggle source

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, and modified time. Permissions are copied regardless preserve.

If dereference_root is true, this method dereference tree root.

If remove_destination is true, this method removes each destination file before copy.

remove(list, options = {}) click to toggle source
Alias for: rm
remove_dir(path, force = false) click to toggle source

Removes a directory dir and its contents recursively. This method ignores StandardError if force is true.

 # File fileutils.rb, line 803 def remove_dir(path, force = false) remove_entry path, force # FIXME?? check if it is a directory end 
remove_entry(path, force = false) click to toggle source

This method removes a file system entry path. path might be a regular file, a directory, or something. If path is a directory, remove it recursively.

See also remove_entry_secure.

 # File fileutils.rb, line 775 def remove_entry(path, force = false) Entry_.new(path).postorder_traverse do |ent| begin ent.remove rescue raise unless force end end rescue raise unless force end 
remove_entry_secure(path, force = false) click to toggle source

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

For fileutils.rb, this vulnerability is reported in [ruby-dev:26100].

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.

NOTE: This method calls remove_entry_secure if :secure option is set. See also remove_entry_secure.
