# frozen_string_literal: true # # tempfile - manipulates temporary files # # $Id$ # require 'delegate' require 'tmpdir' # A utility class for managing temporary files. When you create a Tempfile # object, it will create a temporary file with a unique filename. A Tempfile # objects behaves just like a File object, and you can perform all the usual # file operations on it: reading data, writing data, changing its permissions, # etc. So although this class does not explicitly document all instance methods # supported by File, you can in fact call any File instance method on a # Tempfile object. # # == Synopsis # # require 'tempfile' # # file = Tempfile.new('foo') # file.path # => A unique filename in the OS's temp directory, # # e.g.: "/tmp/foo.24722.0" # # This filename contains 'foo' in its basename. # file.write("hello world") # file.rewind # file.read # => "hello world" # file.close # file.unlink # deletes the temp file # # == Good practices # # === Explicit close # # When a Tempfile object is garbage collected, or when the Ruby interpreter # exits, its associated temporary file is automatically deleted. This means # that it's unnecessary to explicitly delete a Tempfile after use, though # it's a good practice to do so: not explicitly deleting unused Tempfiles can # potentially leave behind a large number of temp files on the filesystem # until they're garbage collected. The existence of these temp files can make # it harder to determine a new Tempfile filename. # # Therefore, one should always call #unlink or close in an ensure block, like # this: # # file = Tempfile.new('foo') # begin # # ...do something with file... # ensure # file.close # file.unlink # deletes the temp file # end # # Tempfile.create { ... } exists for this purpose and is more convenient to use. # Note that Tempfile.create returns a File instance instead of a Tempfile, which # also avoids the overhead and complications of delegation. # # Tempfile.create('foo') do |file| # # ...do something with file... # end # # === Unlink after creation # # On POSIX systems, it's possible to unlink a file right after creating it, # and before closing it. This removes the filesystem entry without closing # the file handle, so it ensures that only the processes that already had # the file handle open can access the file's contents. It's strongly # recommended that you do this if you do not want any other processes to # be able to read from or write to the Tempfile, and you do not need to # know the Tempfile's filename either. # # For example, a practical use case for unlink-after-creation would be this: # you need a large byte buffer that's too large to comfortably fit in RAM, # e.g. when you're writing a web server and you want to buffer the client's # file upload data. # # Please refer to #unlink for more information and a code example. # # == Minor notes # # Tempfile's filename picking method is both thread-safe and inter-process-safe: # it guarantees that no other threads or processes will pick the same filename. # # Tempfile itself however may not be entirely thread-safe. If you access the # same Tempfile object from multiple threads then you should protect it with a # mutex. class Tempfile < DelegateClass(File) VERSION = "0.2.1" # Creates a file in the underlying file system; # returns a new \Tempfile object based on that file. # # If possible, consider instead using Tempfile.create, which: # # - Avoids the performance cost of delegation, # incurred when Tempfile.new calls its superclass DelegateClass(File). # - Does not rely on a finalizer to close and unlink the file, # which can be unreliable. # # Creates and returns file whose: # # - Class is \Tempfile (not \File, as in Tempfile.create). # - Directory is the system temporary directory (system-dependent). # - Generated filename is unique in that directory. # - Permissions are 0600; # see {File Permissions}[rdoc-ref:File@File+Permissions]. # - Mode is 'w+' (read/write mode, positioned at the end). # # The underlying file is removed when the \Tempfile object dies # and is reclaimed by the garbage collector. # # Example: # # f = Tempfile.new # => # # f.class # => Tempfile # f.path # => "/tmp/20220505-17839-1s0kt30" # f.stat.mode.to_s(8) # => "100600" # File.exist?(f.path) # => true # File.unlink(f.path) # # File.exist?(f.path) # => false # # Argument +basename+, if given, may be one of: # # - A string: the generated filename begins with +basename+: # # Tempfile.new('foo') # => # # # - An array of two strings [prefix, suffix]: # the generated filename begins with +prefix+ and ends with +suffix+: # # Tempfile.new(%w/foo .jpg/) # => # # # With arguments +basename+ and +tmpdir+, the file is created in directory +tmpdir+: # # Tempfile.new('foo', '.') # => # # # Keyword arguments +mode+ and +options+ are passed directly to method # {File.open}[rdoc-ref:File.open]: # # - The value given with +mode+ must be an integer, # and may be expressed as the logical OR of constants defined in # {File::Constants}[rdoc-ref:File::Constants]. # - For +options+, see {Open Options}[rdoc-ref:IO@Open+Options]. # # Related: Tempfile.create. # def initialize(basename="", tmpdir=nil, mode: 0, **options) warn "Tempfile.new doesn't call the given block.", uplevel: 1 if block_given? @unlinked = false @mode = mode|File::RDWR|File::CREAT|File::EXCL @finalizer_obj = Object.new tmpfile = nil ::Dir::Tmpname.create(basename, tmpdir, **options) do |tmpname, n, opts| opts[:perm] = 0600 tmpfile = File.open(tmpname, @mode, **opts) @opts = opts.freeze end ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(@finalizer_obj, Remover.new(tmpfile.path)) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, Closer.new(tmpfile)) super(tmpfile) end def initialize_dup(other) initialize_copy_iv(other) super(other) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, Closer.new(__getobj__)) end def initialize_clone(other) initialize_copy_iv(other) super(other) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, Closer.new(__getobj__)) end private def initialize_copy_iv(other) @unlinked = other.unlinked @mode = other.mode @opts = other.opts @finalizer_obj = other.finalizer_obj end # Opens or reopens the file with mode "r+". def open _close ObjectSpace.undefine_finalizer(self) mode = @mode & ~(File::CREAT|File::EXCL) __setobj__(File.open(__getobj__.path, mode, **@opts)) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, Closer.new(__getobj__)) __getobj__ end def _close # :nodoc: __getobj__.close end protected :_close # Closes the file.
