Subject: Ruby byte access to disk sectors like dd does

I have been unable to find any reference to Ruby methods that provide
raw disk access the way dd does. I frequently use the Linux utility
program, dd, and would like to be able to do the same type of byte-level
and sector-level access to the hard drive with Ruby. (What I am looking
for is not file access.) Are there Ruby methods to provide this
capability (other than having Ruby access dd)?

Thanks,
Gary
