Class Method Details

.add(path) ⇒ Object

Add a file to the file pool.

Same as FilePool.add!, but doesn’t throw exceptions.

Parameters:

source (String)

path of the file to add.

Return Value:

String containing a new unique ID for the file added.

false when the file could not be stored.

def self.add path
  self.add!(path)

rescue Exception
  return false
end

.add!(orig_path) ⇒ Object

Add a file to the file pool.

Creates hard-links (ln) when file at path is on same file system as pool, otherwise copies it. When dealing with large files the latter should be avoided, because it takes more time and space.

Throws standard file exceptions when unable to store the file. See also FilePool.add to avoid it.

Parameters:

path (String)

path of the file to add.

Return Value:

String containing a new unique ID for the file added.

  newid

.path(fid, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Return the file’s path corresponding to the passed file ID, no matter if it exists or not. In encrypting mode the file is first decrypted and the returned path will point to a temporary location of the decrypted file.

To get the path of the encrypted file pass :decrypt => false, as an option.

Parameters:

fid (String)

File ID which was generated by a previous #add operation.

options (Hash)

:decrypt (true,false) In encryption mode don’t decrypt, but return the encrypted file’s path. Defaults to true.

Return Value:

String, absolute path of the file in the pool or to temporary location if it was decrypted.

Raises:

.remove(fid) ⇒ Object

Remove a previously added file by its ID. Same as FilePool.remove!, but doesn’t throw exceptions.

Parameters:

fid (String)

File ID which was generated by a previous #add operation.

Return Value:

Boolean, true if file was removed successfully, false else

end

.remove!(fid) ⇒ Object

Remove a previously added file by its ID. Same as FilePool.remove, but throws exceptions on failure.

Parameters:

fid (String)

File ID which was generated by a previous #add operation.

end

.setup(root, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Setup the root directory of the file pool and configure encryption

Parameters:

root (String)

absolute path of the file pool’s root directory under which all files will be stored.

config_file_path (String)

path to the config file of the filepool.

options (Hash)

  • :secrets_file (String) path to file containing key and IV for encryption (if omitted FilePool does not encrypt/decrypt). If file is not present, the file is initialized with a new random key and IV.

  • :encryption_block_size (Integer) sets the block size for encryption/decryption in bytes. Larger blocks need more memory and less time (less IO). Defaults to 1’048’576 (1 MiB).

  • :copy_source (true,false) if false files added to the pool are hard-linked with the source if source and file pool are on the same file system (default). If set to true files are always copied into the pool.

  • :mode (Integer) File mode to set on all files added to the pool. E.g. mode: 0640 for rw-r----- or symbolic “u=wrx,go=rx” (see Ruby stdlib FileUtils#chmod). Note that the desired mode is not set if the file is hard-linked with the source. Use copy_source:true when to ensure.

  • :owner Owner of the files added to the pool. Note that the desired owner is not set if the file is hard-linked with the source. Use copy_source:true when to ensure.

  • :group Group of the files added to the pool. Note that the desired group is not set if the file is hard-linked with the source. Use copy_source:true when to ensure.

.stat ⇒ Object

Returns some statistics about the current pool. (It may be slow if the pool contains very many files as it computes them from scratch.)

Return Value

Hash with keys

:total_number (Integer)

Number of files in pool

:total_size (Integer)

Total number of bytes of all files

:median_size (Float)

Median of file sizes (most frequent size)

:last_add (Time)

Time and Date of last add operation
