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| block } 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(target, link, options) FileUtils.ln(targets, dir, options) FileUtils.ln_s(target, link, options) FileUtils.ln_s(targets, dir, options) FileUtils.ln_sf(target, link, 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, 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 three 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.
This hash table holds command options.

def cd(dir, verbose: nil, &block) # :yield: dir
fu_output_message "cd #{dir}" if verbose
Dir.chdir(dir, &block)
fu_output_message 'cd -' if verbose and block
end
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

Entry_.new(path).chmod(fu_mode(mode, path))
end
end
Changes permission bits on the named files (in list) to the bit pattern represented by mode.
mode is the symbolic and absolute mode can be used.
Absolute mode is
FileUtils.chmod 0755, 'somecommand' FileUtils.chmod 0644, %w(my.rb your.rb his.rb her.rb) FileUtils.chmod 0755, '/usr/bin/ruby', :verbose => true
Symbolic mode is
FileUtils.chmod "u=wrx,go=rx", 'somecommand' FileUtils.chmod "u=wr,go=rr", %w(my.rb your.rb his.rb her.rb) FileUtils.chmod "u=wrx,go=rx", '/usr/bin/ruby', :verbose => true
- “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.
- “+”

end
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.

end
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.

end
end
Copies src to dest. If src is a directory, this method copies all its contents recursively. If dest is a directory, copies src to dest/src.
src can be a list of files.

If src is not same as dest, copies it and changes the permission mode to mode. If dest is a directory, destination is dest/src. This method removes destination before copy.

causes to make following directories, if it does not exist.
-
/usr
-
/usr/local
-
/usr/local/lib
-
/usr/local/lib/ruby
You can pass several directories at a time in a list.

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:
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.

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