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's it's unnecessary to explicitly delete a Tempfile after use, though # it's good practice to do so: not explicitly deleting unused Tempfiles can # potentially leave behind large amounts of tempfiles 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 # # === 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 # class Remover # :nodoc: # def initialize(tmpfile) # @pid = Process.pid # @tmpfile = tmpfile # end # # def call(*args) # return if @pid != Process.pid # # $stderr.puts "removing #{@tmpfile.path}..." if $DEBUG # # @tmpfile.close # begin # File.unlink(@tmpfile.path) # rescue Errno::ENOENT # end # # $stderr.puts "done" if $DEBUG # end # end end # Creates a temporary file as usual File object (not Tempfile). # It doesn't use finalizer and delegation. # # If no block is given, this is similar to Tempfile.new except # creating File instead of Tempfile. # The created file is not removed automatically. # You should use File.unlink to remove it. # # If a block is given, then a File object will be constructed, # and the block is invoked with the object as the argument. # The File object will be automatically closed and # the temporary file is removed after the block terminates. # The call returns the value of the block. # # In any case, all arguments (+basename+, +tmpdir+, +mode+, and # **options) will be treated as Tempfile.new. # # Tempfile.create('foo', '/home/temp') do |f| # # ... do something with f ... # end # def Tempfile.create(basename="", tmpdir=nil, mode: 0, **options) tmpfile = nil Dir::Tmpname.create(basename, tmpdir, **options) do |tmpname, n, opts| mode |= File::RDWR|File::CREAT|File::EXCL opts[:perm] = 0600 tmpfile = File.open(tmpname, mode, **opts) end if block_given? begin yield tmpfile ensure unless tmpfile.closed? if File.identical?(tmpfile, tmpfile.path) unlinked = File.unlink tmpfile.path rescue nil end tmpfile.close end unless unlinked begin File.unlink tmpfile.path rescue Errno::ENOENT end end end else tmpfile end end
