class Dir

Overview

Objects of class Dir are directory streams representing directories in the underlying file system. They provide a variety of ways to list directories and their contents. See also File.

The directory used in these examples contains the two regular files (config.h and main.rb), the parent directory (..), and the directory itself (.).

Class Method Detail

def self.[](*patterns) : Array(String) #

[View source]
def self.[](patterns : Enumerable(String)) : Array(String) #

[View source]
def self.cd(path, &block) #

Changes the current working directory of the process to the given string and invokes the block, restoring the original working directory when the block exits.


[View source]
def self.cd(path) #

Changes the current working directory of the process to the given string.


[View source]
def self.current : String #

Returns the current working directory.


[View source]
def self.entries(dirname) : Array(String) #

Returns an array containing all of the filenames in the given directory.


[View source]
def self.exists?(path) : Bool #

Returns true if the given path exists and is a directory


[View source]
def self.foreach(dirname, &block) #

Calls the block once for each entry in the named directory, passing the filename of each entry as a parameter to the block.


[View source]
def self.glob(patterns : Enumerable(String), &block) #

[View source]
def self.glob(*patterns, &block) #

[View source]
def self.glob(*patterns) : Array(String) #

[View source]
def self.glob(patterns : Enumerable(String)) : Array(String) #

[View source]
def self.mkdir(path, mode = 511) #

Creates a new directory at the given path. The linux-style permission mode can be specified, with a default of 777 (0o777).


[View source]
def self.mkdir_p(path, mode = 511) #

Creates a new directory at the given path, including any non-existing intermediate directories. The linux-style permission mode can be specified, with a default of 777 (0o777).


[View source]
def self.open(path) : self #

Alias for .new(path)


[View source]
def self.open(path, &block) #

Opens a directory and yields it, closing it at the end of the block. Returns the value of the block.


[View source]
def self.rmdir(path) #

Removes the directory at the given path.


[View source]
def self.new(path) #

Returns a new directory object for the named directory.

Instance Method Detail

def close #

Closes the directory stream.


[View source]
def each #

[View source]
def each(&block) #

Calls the block once for each entry in this directory, passing the filename of each entry as a parameter to the block.

d = Dir.new("testdir")
d.each { |x| puts "Got #{x}" }

produces:

Got .
Got ..
Got config.h
Got main.rb

[View source]
def path : String #

[View source]
def read #

Reads the next entry from dir and returns it as a string. Returns nil at the end of the stream.

d = Dir.new("testdir")
d.read # => "."
d.read # => ".."
d.read # => "config.h"

[View source]
def rewind #

Repositions this directory to the first entry.
