FileUtils.touch(list, **)Possible .options are:
- :force
- 
forced operation (rewrite files if exist, remove directories if not empty, etc.); 
- :verbose
- 
print command to be run, in bash syntax, before performing it; 
- :preserve
- 
preserve object’s group, user and modification time on copying; 
- :noop
- 
no changes are made (usable in combination with :verbosewhich will print the command to run)
Each method documents the options that it honours. See also .commands, .options and .options_of methods to introspect which command have which options.
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 keyword arguments:
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.

.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].
