ごとけんです

るびきちさんよろしく。

=begin
= ftools.rb
Loading `ftools' adds class methods (({copy})), (({move})) etc, to (({File})). 

== METHOD
--- File.copy(from, to, verbose = false) => true or false
--- File.cp(from, to, verbose = false) => true or false
      Copies file ((|from|)) to ((|to|)). 
      If ((|verbose|)) is true, reports progress to stderr. 

--- File.move(from, to, verbose = false) => true or false
--- File.mv(from, to, verbose = false) => true or false
      Moves file ((|from|)) to ((|to|)). 
      If ((|verbose|)) is true, reports progress to stderr. 

--- File.compare(file1, file2, verbose = false) => true or false
--- File.cmp(file1, file2, verbose = false) => true or false
      Compares ((|file1|)) and ((|file2|)) and reports whether they are 
      same or not. 
      If ((|verbose|)) is true, reports progress to stderr. 

--- File.safe_unlink(*files)
--- File.rm_f(*files)
      Deletes ((|files|)) safely, that is, tries chmod at first then deletes.
      If the last argument of ((|files|)) is not a string then run on 
      verbose mode. 

--- File.makedirs(*dirs)
--- File.mkpath(*dirs)
      Creates directories ((|dirs|)). 
      Similar to Unix command `mkdir -p'. 
      If the last argument of ((|files|)) is not a string then run on 
      verbose mode. 

--- File.chmod(mode, *files)
      Changes mode of ((|files|)). 
      If the last argument of ((|files|)) is not a string then run on 
      verbose mode. 

--- File.install(from, to, mode = nil, verbose = false)
      Copies a file ((|from|)) to ((|to|)) and sets its file mode as 
      ((|mode|)). 
      Similar to Unix command `install'. 
      If ((|verbose|)) is true, reports progress to stderr.
