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_root = false, remove_destination = 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 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 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 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.

Class Method Details

.cd(dir, verbose: nil, &block) (mod_func) Also known as: #chdir

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 'lib/fileutils.rb', line 126

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

.chdir(dir, verbose: nil, &block) (mod_func)

Alias for #cd.

# File 'lib/fileutils.rb', line 134

alias chdir cd

.chmod(mode, list, noop: nil, verbose: nil) (mod_func)

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.

“+”

is added to a class given the specified mode.

“-”

Is removed from a given class given mode.

“=”

Is the exact nature of the class will be given a specified mode.

.copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false) (mod_func)

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.

FileUtils.ln_s '/usr/bin/ruby', '/usr/local/bin/ruby'
FileUtils.ln_s 'verylongsourcefilename.c', 'c', force: true

In the second form, creates a link dir/target pointing to target. In the third form, creates several symbolic links in the directory dir, pointing to each item in targets. If dir is not a directory, raises Errno::ENOTDIR.

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 'lib/fileutils.rb', line 757

.remove_entry_secure(path, force = false) (mod_func)

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].
