mkdtemp 1.2 released

Created , updated 1 minute read

Version 1.2 of the mkdtemp gem was just released. mkdtemp is a wrapper for the mkdtemp() function in the standard C library, and it provides an easy means of securely creating temporary directories from within Ruby code.

This is a minor feature release which adds the ability to pass a block to the mkdtemp method which allows you do conveniently execute code within the context of the created directory:

# this:            # is a shorthand for:
Dir.mkdtemp do     #   dir = Dir.mkdtemp
  puts Dir.pwd     #   Dir.chdir dir do
end                #     puts Dir.pwd
                   #   end

The new version can be installed via sudo gem install mkdtemp. If you find the Gem useful, please consider making a donation via PayPal.
