Method: StringIO#initialize

Defined in:
ext/stringio/stringio.c

#new(string = '', mode = 'r+') ⇒ Object

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).
