Subject: [ruby-core:42592] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5782] File.binwrite doc and hash argument


Issue #5782 has been updated by Marc-Andre Lafortune.


For some reason, this bug report was never posted on the mailing list:

The doc for `File.binwrite` doesn't mention the possibility of a fourth argument (option hash), unlike `File.write`. Judging from the code, this looks like an oversight.

Can we get confirmation that it does accept a fourth parameter and that the doc should be updated?

I would personally simplify the rdoc to state that it `File.binwrite` does exactly the same as `File.write` except that it opens the file in binary mode.

Noticed by Konstantin Haase.

Thanks,
