This module contains various utility methods as module methods.
Zlib::GzipReader wrapper that unzips data
.
# File rubygems/util.rb, line 12 def self.gunzip(data) require 'zlib' require 'stringio' data = StringIO.new(data, 'r') unzipped = Zlib::GzipReader.new(data).read unzipped.force_encoding Encoding::BINARY if Object.const_defined? :Encoding unzipped end
Zlib::GzipWriter wrapper that zips data
.
# File rubygems/util.rb, line 25 def self.gzip(data) require 'zlib' require 'stringio' zipped = StringIO.new(String.new, 'w') zipped.set_encoding Encoding::BINARY if Object.const_defined? :Encoding Zlib::GzipWriter.wrap zipped do |io| io.write data end zipped.string end
A Zlib::Inflate#inflate wrapper
# File rubygems/util.rb, line 39 def self.inflate(data) require 'zlib' Zlib::Inflate.inflate data end
This calls IO.popen where it accepts an array for a command
(Ruby 1.9+) and implements an IO.popen-like behavior where it does not accept an array for a command.
# File rubygems/util.rb, line 49 def self.popen *command IO.popen command, &:read rescue TypeError # ruby 1.8 only supports string command r, w = IO.pipe pid = fork do STDIN.close STDOUT.reopen w exec(*command) end w.close begin return r.read ensure Process.wait pid end end
Invokes system, but silences all output.
# File rubygems/util.rb, line 75 def self.silent_system *command opt = {:out => NULL_DEVICE, :err => [:child, :out]} if Hash === command.last opt.update(command.last) cmds = command[0...-1] else cmds = command.dup end return system(*(cmds << opt)) rescue TypeError require 'thread' @silent_mutex ||= Mutex.new null_device = NULL_DEVICE @silent_mutex.synchronize do begin stdout = STDOUT.dup stderr = STDERR.dup STDOUT.reopen null_device, 'w' STDERR.reopen null_device, 'w' return system(*command) ensure STDOUT.reopen stdout STDERR.reopen stderr stdout.close stderr.close end end end
Enumerates the parents of directory
.
# File rubygems/util.rb, line 112 def self.traverse_parents directory, &block return enum_for __method__, directory unless block_given? here = File.expand_path directory loop do Dir.chdir here, &block rescue Errno::EACCES new_here = File.expand_path('..', here) return if new_here == here # toplevel here = new_here end end
