VirtualFs::BlockStore::Handle

Closes this IO.

IO defines this is a no-op method, but including types may override.

Returns true if this IO is closed.

IO defines returns false, but including types may override.

Returns the current position (in bytes) in this IO.

The IO class raises on this method, but some subclasses, notable IO::FileDescriptor and IO::Memory implement it.

File.write("testfile", "hello")

file = File.new("testfile")
file.pos     # => 0
file.gets(2) # => "he"
file.pos     # => 2

Reads at most slice.size bytes from this IO into slice. Returns the number of bytes read, which is 0 if and only if there is no more data to read (so checking for 0 is the way to detect end of file).

io = IO::Memory.new "hello"
slice = Bytes.new(4)
io.read(slice) # => 4
slice          # => Bytes[104, 101, 108, 108]
io.read(slice) # => 1
slice          # => Bytes[111, 101, 108, 108]
io.read(slice) # => 0

Rewinds this IO. By default this method raises, but including types may implement it.

Writes the contents of slice into this IO.

io = IO::Memory.new
slice = Bytes.new(4) { |i| ('a'.ord + i).to_u8 }
io.write(slice)
io.to_s # => "abcd"
