Subject: [ruby-core:37905] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #4865] Documentation of FileUtils is very unclear on how errors are handled


Issue #4865 has been updated by Eric Hodel.

Assignee deleted (Eric Hodel)

I do not have the experience to document the error handling of FileUtils.

Assigning to nobody as there appears to be no FileUtils maintainer at this time.

Documentation of FileUtils is very unclear on how errors are handled.

Looking at the documentation at http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/fileutils/rdoc/classes/FileUtils.html on "cp_r" you can see that error handling isn't mentioned at all, and you can't see how errors are handled from the attached source either. I had to follow this path to finally find out how errors were handled:

cp_r -> copy_entry -> Entry_.traverse -> preorder_traverse
