`::IO::generic_readable` - Included

#read_nonblock	Similar to #read, but raises `EOFError` at end of string unless the `exception: false` option is passed in.

#readchar	Like #getc, but raises an exception if already at end-of-stream; see `Character IO`.
#readline	Reads a line as with `IO#gets`, but raises EOFError if already at end-of-file; see `Line IO`.
#readpartial	Alias for IO::generic_readable#sysread.
#sysread	Similar to #read, but raises `EOFError` at end of string instead of returning `nil`, as well as `IO#sysread` does.

#new(string = '', mode = 'r+') ⇒ `StringIO`

Note that mode defaults to 'r' if #string is frozen.

Returns a new StringIO instance formed from #string and mode; see Access Modes:

strio = StringIO.new # => #<StringIO>
strio.close

The instance should be closed when no longer needed.

Related: .open (accepts block; closes automatically).

Class Method Details

.open(string = '', mode = 'r+') {|strio| ... }

Note that mode defaults to 'r' if #string is frozen.

Creates a new StringIO instance formed from #string and mode; see Access Modes.

With no block, returns the new instance:

strio = StringIO.open # => #<StringIO>

With a block, calls the block with the new instance and returns the block’s value; closes the instance on block exit.

StringIO.open {|strio| p strio }
# => #<StringIO>
