class StringIO
IO streams for strings, with access similar to IO; see IO.
About the Examples
Examples on this page assume that StringIO has been required:
require 'stringio'
Constants

strio_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{

if (!ptr) {
DATA_PTR(self) = ptr = strio_alloc();
}
rb_call_super(0, 0);
return strio_init(argc, argv, ptr, self);
} Note that mode defaults to 'r' if string is frozen.
Returns a new StringIO instance formed from string and mode; see Access Modes:
strio = StringIO.new # => #<StringIO> strio.close
The instance should be closed when no longer needed.
Related: StringIO.open (accepts block; closes automatically).

static VALUE
strio_s_open(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
VALUE obj = rb_class_new_instance_kw(argc, argv, klass, RB_PASS_CALLED_KEYWORDS);
if (!rb_block_given_p()) return obj;
return rb_ensure(rb_yield, obj, strio_finalize, obj);
} Note that mode defaults to 'r' if string is frozen.
Creates a new StringIO instance formed from string and mode; see Access Modes.
With no block, returns the new instance:
strio = StringIO.open # => #<StringIO>
With a block, calls the block with the new instance and returns the block’s value; closes the instance on block exit.
StringIO.open {|strio| p strio }
# => #<StringIO>
Related: StringIO.new.
