Dir.open

Dir.open( string ) → aDir

Dir.open( string, encoding: enc ) → aDir

Dir.open( string ) {| aDir | block } → anObject

Dir.open( string, encoding: enc ) {| aDir | block } → anObject

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.1.3/dir.rb, line 97
def self.open(name, encoding: nil, &block)
  dir = Primitive.dir_s_open(name, encoding)
  if block
    begin
      yield dir

    dir
  end
end

The optional encoding keyword argument specifies the encoding of the directory. If not specified, the filesystem encoding is used.

With no block, open is a synonym for Dir::new. If a block is present, it is passed aDir as a parameter. The directory is closed at the end of the block, and Dir::open returns the value of the block.
