# File 'lib/symmetric_encryption/reader.rb', line 253

def pos

end

#version ⇒ Object (readonly)

Returns the Cipher encryption version used to encrypt this file Returns nil when the header was not present in the stream and no :version

option was supplied

Note: When no header is present, the version is set to the one supplied

in the options

Class Method Details

.decrypt(source:, target:, **args) ⇒ Object

Decrypt an entire file.

Returns [Integer] the number of unencrypted bytes written to the target file.

Params:

source: [String|IO]
  Source file_name or IOStream

target: [String|IO]
  Target file_name or IOStream

Notes:

  • The file contents are streamed so that the entire file is not loaded into memory.

def self.decrypt(source:, target:, **args)
  Reader.open(source, **args) { |input_file| IO.copy_stream(input_file, target) }
end

.empty?(file_name_or_stream) ⇒ Boolean

Returns [true|false] whether the file or stream contains any data excluding the header should it have one

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def self.empty?(file_name_or_stream)

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def self.header_present?(file_name)
  ::File.open(file_name, "rb") { |file| new(file).header_present? }
end

.open(file_name_or_stream, buffer_size: 16_384, **args, &block) ⇒ Object

Open a file for reading, or use the supplied IO Stream

Parameters:

file_name_or_stream:
  The file_name to open if a string, otherwise the stream to use
  The file or stream will be closed on completion, use .initialize to
  avoid having the stream closed automatically

buffer_size:
  Amount of data to read at a time.
  Minimum Value 128
  Default: 16384

Note: Decryption occurs before decompression

# Example: Read and decrypt a line at a time from a file SymmetricEncryption::Reader.open(‘test_file’) do |file|

file.each_line {|line| p line }

end

# Example: Read and decrypt entire file in memory # Not recommended for large files SymmetricEncryption::Reader.open(‘test_file’) {|f| f.read }

# Example: Reading a limited number of bytes at a time from the file SymmetricEncryption::Reader.open(‘test_file’) do |file|

file.read(1)
file.read(5)
file.read

end

# Example: Read and decrypt 5 bytes at a time until the end of file is reached SymmetricEncryption::Reader.open(‘test_file’) do |file|

while !file.eof? do
  file.read(5)
end

end

# Example: Read, Unencrypt and decompress data in a file SymmetricEncryption::Reader.open(‘encrypted_compressed.zip’, compress: true) do |file|

file.each_line {|line| p line }

end

# Example: Reading from a CSV file

require ‘csv’ begin

csv = CSV.new(SymmetricEncryption::Reader.open('csv_encrypted'))
csv.each {|row| p row}

ensure

csv.close if csv

  end
end

.read(file_name_or_stream, **args) ⇒ Object

Read the entire contents of a file or stream into memory.

Notes:

  • Do not use this method for reading large files.

Instance Method Details

#close(close_child_stream = true) ⇒ Object

Close the IO Stream

Note: Also closes the passed in io stream or file

It is recommended to call Symmetric::EncryptedStream.open or Symmetric::EncryptedStream.io rather than creating an instance of Symmetric::EncryptedStream directly to ensure that the encrypted stream is closed before the stream itself is closed

def close(close_child_stream = true)
  return if closed?

  @ios.close if close_child_stream
  @closed = true
end

#compressed? ⇒ Boolean

Returns whether the stream being read is compressed

Should be called before any reads are performed to determine if the file or stream is compressed.

Returns true when the header is present in the stream and it is compressed Returns false when the header is present in the stream and it is not compressed Returns nil when the header is not present in the stream

Note: The file will not be decompressed automatically when compressed.

To decompress the data automatically call SymmetricEncryption.open

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#each_line(sep_string = "\n") ⇒ Object Also known as: each

ios.each(sep_string=“n”) {|line| block } => ios ios.each_line(sep_string=“n”) {|line| block } => ios Executes the block for every line in ios, where lines are separated by sep_string. ios must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised.

end

#gets(sep_string, length = nil) ⇒ Object

Reads a single decrypted line from the file up to and including the optional sep_string. A sep_string of nil reads the entire contents of the file Returns nil on eof The stream must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised.

#read(length = nil, outbuf = nil) ⇒ Object

Read from the stream and return the decrypted data See IOS#read

Reads at most length bytes from the I/O stream, or to the end of file if length is omitted or is nil. length must be a non-negative integer or nil.

At end of file, it returns nil if no more data is available, or the last remaining bytes

#seek(amount, whence = IO::SEEK_SET) ⇒ Object

Seeks to a given offset (Integer) in the stream according to the value of whence:

IO::SEEK_CUR  | Seeks to _amount_ plus current position
--------------+----------------------------------------------------
IO::SEEK_END  | Seeks to _amount_ plus end of stream (you probably
              | want a negative value for _amount_)
--------------+----------------------------------------------------
IO::SEEK_SET  | Seeks to the absolute location given by _amount_

WARNING: IO::SEEK_SET will jump to the beginning of the file and

then re-read upto the point specified

WARNING: IO::SEEK_END will read the entire file and then again

upto the point specified
