Pathname

Pathname represents the name of a file or directory on the filesystem, but not the file itself.

The pathname depends on the Operating System: Unix, Windows, etc. This library works with pathnames of local OS, however non-Unix pathnames are supported experimentally.

A Pathname can be relative or absolute. It's not until you try to reference the file that it even matters whether the file exists or not.

Pathname is immutable. It has no method for destructive update.

The goal of this class is to manipulate file path information in a neater way than standard Ruby provides. The examples below demonstrate the difference.

All functionality from File, FileTest, and some from Dir and FileUtils is included, in an unsurprising way. It is essentially a facade for all of these, and more.

Examples

Example 1: Using Pathname

require 'pathname'
pn = Pathname.new("/usr/bin/ruby")
size = pn.size              # 27662
isdir = pn.directory?       # false
dir  = pn.dirname           # Pathname:/usr/bin
base = pn.basename          # Pathname:ruby
dir, base = pn.split        # [Pathname:/usr/bin, Pathname:ruby]
data = pn.read
pn.open { |f| _ }
pn.each_line { |line| _ }

Example 2: Using standard Ruby

pn = "/usr/bin/ruby"
size = File.size(pn)        # 27662
isdir = File.directory?(pn) # false
dir  = File.dirname(pn)     # "/usr/bin"
base = File.basename(pn)    # "ruby"
dir, base = File.split(pn)  # ["/usr/bin", "ruby"]
data = File.read(pn)
File.open(pn) { |f| _ }
File.foreach(pn) { |line| _ }

Example 3: Special features

p1 = Pathname.new("/usr/lib")   # Pathname:/usr/lib
p2 = p1 + "ruby/1.8"            # Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
p3 = p1.parent                  # Pathname:/usr
p4 = p2.relative_path_from(p3)  # Pathname:lib/ruby/1.8
pwd = Pathname.pwd              # Pathname:/home/gavin
pwd.absolute?                   # true
p5 = Pathname.new "."           # Pathname:.
p5 = p5 + "music/../articles"   # Pathname:music/../articles
p5.cleanpath                    # Pathname:articles
p5.realpath                     # Pathname:/home/gavin/articles
p5.children                     # [Pathname:/home/gavin/articles/linux, ...]

Breakdown of functionality

Core methods

These methods are effectively manipulating a String, because that's all a path is. None of these access the file system except for mountpoint?, children, each_child, realdirpath and realpath.

File status predicate methods

These methods are a facade for FileTest:

File property and manipulation methods

These methods are a facade for File:

Directory methods

These methods are a facade for Dir:

IO

These methods are a facade for IO:

Utilities

These methods are a mixture of Find, FileUtils, and others:

Method documentation

As the above section shows, most of the methods in Pathname are facades. The documentation for these methods generally just says, for instance, “See FileTest.writable?”, as you should be familiar with the original method anyway, and its documentation (e.g. through ri) will contain more information. In some cases, a brief description will follow.

Public Instance Methods

+(other) click to toggle source

Appends a pathname fragment to self to produce a new Pathname object.

p1 = Pathname.new("/usr")      # Pathname:/usr
p2 = p1 + "bin/ruby"           # Pathname:/usr/bin/ruby
p3 = p1 + "/etc/passwd"        # Pathname:/etc/passwd

# / is aliased to +.
p4 = p1 / "bin/ruby"           # Pathname:/usr/bin/ruby
p5 = p1 / "/etc/passwd"        # Pathname:/etc/passwd

This method doesn't access the file system; it is pure string manipulation.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/pathname/lib/pathname.rb, line 352
def +(other)
  other = Pathname.new(other) unless Pathname === other
  Pathname.new(plus(@path, other.to_s))
end
            
Also aliased as: /
/(other) click to toggle source
Alias for: +
<=>(p1) click to toggle source

Provides a case-sensitive comparison operator for pathnames.

Pathname.new('/usr') <=> Pathname.new('/usr/bin')
    #=> -1
Pathname.new('/usr/bin') <=> Pathname.new('/usr/bin')
    #=> 0
Pathname.new('/usr/bin') <=> Pathname.new('/USR/BIN')
    #=> 1

It will return -1, 0 or 1 depending on the value of the left argument relative to the right argument. Or it will return nil if the arguments are not comparable.

end
            
ascend() click to toggle source

Iterates over and yields a new Pathname object for each element in the given path in ascending order.

Pathname.new('/path/to/some/file.rb').ascend {|v| p v}
   #<Pathname:/path/to/some/file.rb>
   #<Pathname:/path/to/some>
   #<Pathname:/path/to>
   #<Pathname:/path>

   #<Pathname:path>

Returns an Enumerator if no block was given.

enum = Pathname.new("/usr/bin/ruby").ascend
  # ... do stuff ...
enum.each { |e| ... }
  # yields Pathnames /usr/bin/ruby, /usr/bin, /usr, and /.

It doesn't access the filesystem.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/pathname/lib/pathname.rb, line 328
def ascend
  return to_enum(__method__) unless block_given?

    return rb_class_new_instance(1, &str, rb_obj_class(self));
}

Returns all the bytes from the file, or the first N if specified.

See File.binread.

 
               static VALUE
path_binread(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    VALUE args[3];
    int n;

    args[0] = get_strpath(self);
    n = rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "02", &args[1], &args[2]);

birthtime → time click to toggle source

Returns the birth time for the file. If the platform doesn't have birthtime, raises NotImplementedError.

See File.birthtime.

 
               static VALUE

{
    return rb_funcall(rb_cFile, id_birthtime, 1, get_strpath(self));
}
            
blockdev?() click to toggle source

See FileTest.blockdev?.

 
               static VALUE
path_blockdev_p(VALUE self)
{
    return rb_funcall(rb_mFileTest, id_blockdev_p, 1, get_strpath(self));
}
            
chardev?() click to toggle source

See FileTest.chardev?.

 
               static VALUE
path_chardev_p(VALUE self)
{
    return rb_funcall(rb_mFileTest, id_chardev_p, 1, get_strpath(self));
}
            
children(with_directory=true) click to toggle source

Returns the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive) as an array of Pathname objects.

By default, the returned pathnames will have enough information to access the files. If you set with_directory to false, then the returned pathnames will contain the filename only.

For example:

pn = Pathname("/usr/lib/ruby/1.8")
pn.children
    # -> [ Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/English.rb,
           Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/Env.rb,
           Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/abbrev.rb, ... ]
pn.children(false)
    # -> [ Pathname:English.rb, Pathname:Env.rb, Pathname:abbrev.rb, ... ]

Note that the results never contain the entries . and .. in the directory because they are not children.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/pathname/lib/pathname.rb, line 443
def children(with_directory=true)
  with_directory = false if @path == '.'
  result = []
  Dir.foreach(@path) {|e|
    next if e == '.' || e == '..'
    if with_directory
      result << self.class.new(File.join(@path, e))

    end
  }

end
            
chmod(mode_int) → integer click to toggle source

Changes file permissions.

See File.chmod.

 
               static VALUE
path_chmod(VALUE self, VALUE mode)

Change owner and group of the file.

See File.chown.

 
               static VALUE
path_chown(VALUE self, VALUE owner, VALUE group)
{
    return rb_funcall(rb_cFile, id_chown, 3, owner, group, get_strpath(self));
}
            
cleanpath(consider_symlink=false) click to toggle source

Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.

If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can't be avoided.

See Pathname#realpath.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/pathname/lib/pathname.rb, line 92
def cleanpath(consider_symlink=false)
  if consider_symlink
    cleanpath_conservative
  else
    cleanpath_aggressive
  end
end
            
ctime → time click to toggle source

Returns the last change time, using directory information, not the file itself.

See File.ctime.

 
               static VALUE
path_ctime(VALUE self)
{
    return rb_funcall(rb_cFile, id_ctime, 1, get_strpath(self));
}
            
delete() click to toggle source

Removes a file or directory, using File.unlink if self is a file, or Dir.unlink as necessary.

 
               static VALUE
path_unlink(VALUE self)
{
    VALUE eENOTDIR = rb_const_get_at(rb_mErrno, id_ENOTDIR);
    VALUE str = get_strpath(self);
    return rb_rescue2(unlink_body, str, unlink_rescue, str, eENOTDIR, (VALUE)0);
}
            
descend() click to toggle source

Iterates over and yields a new Pathname object for each element in the given path in descending order.

Pathname.new('/path/to/some/file.rb').descend {|v| p v}
   #<Pathname:/>
   #<Pathname:/path>
   #<Pathname:/path/to>
   #<Pathname:/path/to/some>
   #<Pathname:/path/to/some/file.rb>

Pathname.new('path/to/some/file.rb').descend {|v| p v}
   #<Pathname:path>
   #<Pathname:path/to>
   #<Pathname:path/to/some>
   #<Pathname:path/to/some/file.rb>

Returns an Enumerator if no block was given.

enum = Pathname.new("/usr/bin/ruby").descend
  # ... do stuff ...
enum.each { |e| ... }
  # yields Pathnames /, /usr, /usr/bin, and /usr/bin/ruby.

It doesn't access the filesystem.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/ext/pathname/lib/pathname.rb, line 295
def descend
  return to_enum(__method__) unless block_given?

Returns all but the last component of the path.

See File.dirname.

 
               static VALUE
path_dirname(VALUE self)
{
    VALUE str = get_strpath(self);
    str = rb_funcall(rb_cFile, id_dirname, 1, str);
    return rb_class_new_instance(1, &str, rb_obj_class(self));
}
            
each_child(with_directory=true, &b) click to toggle source

Iterates over the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive).

It yields Pathname object for each child.

By default, the yielded pathnames will have enough information to access the files.
