RENAME_NOREPLACE: Don't overwrite newpath of the rename. Return an error if newpath already exists. ``` This change makes `File.rename` take these flags as keyword arguments. Example: ```ruby File.write("hoge", "hoge") File.write("fuga", "fuga") File.rename("hoge", "fuga", exchange: true) # atomically exchanged File.read("fuga") #=> "hoge" File.rename("hoge", "fuga", noreplace: true) #=> File exists @ syserr_fail2_in - fuga (Errno::EEXIST) ``` ---Files-------------------------------- patch.diff (4.19 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
