def close_on_exec=(value : Bool) #

[View source]
def close_on_exec? #

[View source]
def closed? : Bool #
Description copied from class IO

Returns true if this IO is closed.

IO defines returns false, but including types may override.


[View source]
def cooked(&) #

Enables character processing for the duration of the given block. The so called cooked mode is the standard behavior of a terminal, doing line wise editing by the terminal and only sending the input to the program on a newline. Only call this when this IO is a TTY, such as a not redirected stdin.


[View source]
def cooked! #

Enables character processing for this IO. The so called cooked mode is the standard behavior of a terminal, doing line wise editing by the terminal and only sending the input to the program on a newline. Only call this when this IO is a TTY, such as a not redirected stdin.


[View source]
def fcntl(cmd, arg = 0) #

[View source]
def fd : Int32 #

The raw file-descriptor. It is defined to be an Int, but its size is platform-specific.

def finalize #

[View source]
def info #

[View source]
def inspect(io : IO) : Nil #
Description copied from class Reference

Appends a String representation of this object which includes its class name, its object address and the values of all instance variables.

class Person
  def initialize(@name : String, @age : Int32)
  end
end

Person.new("John", 32).inspect # => #<Person:0x10fd31f20 @name="John", @age=32>

[View source]
def noecho(&) #

Turns off character echoing for the duration of the given block. This will prevent displaying back to the user what they enter on the terminal. Only call this when this IO is a TTY, such as a not redirected stdin.

print "Enter password: "
password = STDIN.noecho &.gets.try &.chomp
puts

[View source]
def noecho! #

Turns off character echoing for this IO. This will prevent displaying back to the user what they enter on the terminal. Only call this when this IO is a TTY, such as a not redirected stdin.


[View source]
def pos #

Returns the current position (in bytes) in this IO.

File.write("testfile", "hello")

file = File.new("testfile")
file.pos     # => 0
file.gets(2) # => "he"
file.pos     # => 2

[View source]
def pos=(value) #

Sets the current position (in bytes) in this IO.

File.write("testfile", "hello")

file = File.new("testfile")
file.pos = 3
file.gets_to_end # => "lo"

[View source]
def pretty_print(pp) #

[View source]
def raw(&) #

Enables raw mode for the duration of the given block. In raw mode every keypress is directly sent to the program, no interpretation is done by the terminal. Only call this when this IO is a TTY, such as a not redirected stdin.


[View source]
def raw! #

Enables raw mode for this IO. In raw mode every keypress is directly sent to the program, no interpretation is done by the terminal. Only call this when this IO is a TTY, such as a not redirected stdin.


[View source]
def reopen(other : IO::FileDescriptor) #

[View source]
def seek(offset, whence : Seek = Seek::Set) #

Seeks to a given offset (in bytes) according to the whence argument. Returns self.

File.write("testfile", "abc")

file = File.new("testfile")
file.gets(3) # => "abc"
file.seek(1, IO::Seek::Set)
file.gets(2) # => "bc"
file.seek(-1, IO::Seek::Current)
file.gets(1) # => "c"

[View source]
def seek(offset, whence : Seek = Seek::Set, &) #

Same as #seek but yields to the block after seeking and eventually seeks back to the original position when the block returns.


[View source]
def tty? #
Description copied from class IO

Returns true if this IO is associated with a terminal device (tty), false otherwise.

IO returns false, but including types may override.

STDIN.tty?          # => true
IO::Memory.new.tty? # => false
