class Tempfile
Overview
The Tempfile
class is for managing temporary files.
Every tempfile is operated as a File
, including
initializing, reading and writing.
tempfile = Tempfile.new("foo")
# or
tempfile = Tempfile.open("foo") { |file|
file.print("foobar")
}
File.size(tempfile.path) # => 6
File.stat(tempfile.path).mtime # => 2015-10-20 13:11:12 UTC
File.exists?(tempfile.path) # => true
File.read_lines(tempfile.path) # => ["foobar"]
Files created from this class are stored in a directory that handles temporary files.
Tempfile.new("foo").path # => "/tmp/foo.ulBCPS"
Also, it is encouraged to delete a tempfile after using it, which ensures they are not left behind in your filesystem until garbage collected.
tempfile = Tempfile.new("foo")
tempfile.unlink

file.print("bar")
}
File.read(tempfile.path) # => "bar"
Instance Method Detail
Retrieves the full path of a this tempfile.
