FileUtils
¶ ↑Namespace for several file utility methods for copying, moving, removing, etc.
require 'fileutils' FileUtils.cd(dir, **options) FileUtils.cd(dir, **options) {|dir| block } FileUtils.pwd() FileUtils.mkdir(dir, **options) FileUtils.mkdir(list, **options) FileUtils.mkdir_p(dir, **options) FileUtils.mkdir_p(list, **options) FileUtils.rmdir(dir, **options) FileUtils.rmdir(list, **options) FileUtils.ln(target, link, **options) FileUtils.ln(targets, dir, **options) FileUtils.ln_s(target, link, **options) FileUtils.ln_s(targets, dir, **options) FileUtils.ln_sf(target, link, **options) FileUtils.cp(src, dest, **options) FileUtils.cp(list, dir, **options) FileUtils.cp_r(src, dest, **options) FileUtils.cp_r(list, dir, **options) FileUtils.mv(src, dest, **options) FileUtils.mv(list, dir, **options) FileUtils.rm(list, **options) FileUtils.rm_r(list, **options) FileUtils.rm_rf(list, **options) FileUtils.install(src, dest, **options) FileUtils.chmod(mode, list, **options) FileUtils.chmod_R(mode, list, **options) FileUtils.chown(user, group, list, **options) FileUtils.chown_R(user, group, list, **options) FileUtils.touch(list, **options)
Possible options
are:
:force
forced operation (rewrite files if exist, remove directories if not empty, etc.);
:verbose
print command to be run, in bash syntax, before performing it;
:preserve
preserve object's group, user and modification time on copying;
:noop
no changes are made (usable in combination with :verbose
which will print the command to run)
Each method documents the options that it honours. See also ::commands
, ::options
and ::options_of
methods to introspect which command have which options.
All methods that have the concept of a “source” file or directory can take either one file or a list of files in that argument. See the method documentation for examples.
There are some `low level' methods, which do not accept keyword arguments:
FileUtils.copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false) FileUtils.copy_file(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = true) FileUtils.copy_stream(srcstream, deststream) FileUtils.remove_entry(path, force = false) FileUtils.remove_entry_secure(path, force = false) FileUtils.remove_file(path, force = false) FileUtils.compare_file(path_a, path_b) FileUtils.compare_stream(stream_a, stream_b) FileUtils.uptodate?(file, cmp_list)
FileUtils::Verbose
¶ ↑This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but it outputs messages before acting. This equates to passing the :verbose
flag to methods in FileUtils
.
FileUtils::NoWrite
¶ ↑This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but never changes files/directories. This equates to passing the :noop
flag to methods in FileUtils
.
FileUtils::DryRun
¶ ↑This module has all methods of FileUtils
module, but never changes files/directories. This equates to passing the :noop
and :verbose
flags to methods in FileUtils
.
Changes the current directory to the directory dir
.
If this method is called with block, resumes to the previous working directory after the block execution has finished.
FileUtils.cd('/') # change directory FileUtils.cd('/', verbose: true) # change directory and report it FileUtils.cd('/') do # change directory # ... # do something end # return to original directory

Changes permission bits on the named files (in list
) to the bit pattern represented by mode
.
mode
is the symbolic and absolute mode can be used.
Absolute mode is

Changes owner and group on the named files (in list

Copies a file system entry src
to dest
. If src
is a directory, this method copies its contents recursively. This method preserves file types, c.f. symlink, directory… (FIFO, device files and etc. are not supported yet)
Both of src
and dest
must be a path name. src
must exist, dest
must not exist.
If preserve
is true, this method preserves owner, group, and modified time. Permissions are copied regardless preserve
.
If dereference_root
is true, this method dereference tree root.

already exists, raises Errno::EEXIST. But if the force
option is set, overwrites link

In the second form, creates a link dir/target
pointing to target
. In the third form, creates several hard links in the directory dir
, pointing to each item in targets
. If dir
is not a directory, raises Errno::ENOTDIR.

Creates a directory and all its parent directories. For example,
FileUtils.mkdir_p '/usr/local/lib/ruby'
causes to make following directories, if they do not exist.
/usr
/usr/local
/usr/local/lib

You can pass several directories at a time in a list.

This method removes a file system entry path
. path
shall be a regular file, a directory, or something. If path
is a directory, remove it recursively. This method is required to avoid TOCTTOU (time-of-check-to-time-of-use) local security vulnerability of rm_r. rm_r causes security hole when:
Parent directory is world writable (including /tmp).
Removing directory tree includes world writable directory.
The system has symbolic link.
To avoid this security hole, this method applies special preprocess. If path
is a directory, this method chown(2) and chmod(2) all removing directories. This requires the current process is the owner of the removing whole directory tree, or is the super user (root).
WARNING: You must ensure that ALL parent directories cannot be moved by other untrusted users. For example, parent directories should not be owned by untrusted users, and should not be world writable except when the sticky bit set.
WARNING: Only the owner of the removing directory tree, or Unix super user (root) should invoke this method. Otherwise this method does not work.
For details of this security vulnerability, see Perl's case:
For fileutils.rb, this vulnerability is reported in [ruby-dev:26100].

Updates modification time (mtime) and access time (atime) of file(s) in list
. Files are created if they don't exist.

Returns true if new
is newer than all old_list
. Non-existent files are older than any file.
