ios.advise(advice, offset=0, len=0) รข nil
Instance Public methods
Announce an intention to access data from the current file in a specific pattern. On platforms that do not support the <em>posix_fadvise(2)</em> system call, this method is a no-op.
advice is one of the following symbols:
* :normal - No advice to give; the default assumption for an open file. * :sequential - The data will be accessed sequentially: with lower offsets read before higher ones. * :random - The data will be accessed in random order. * :willneed - The data will be accessed in the near future. * :dontneed - The data will not be accessed in the near future. * :noreuse - The data will only be accessed once.
The semantics of a piece of advice are platform-dependent. See man 2 posix_fadvise for details.
"data" means the region of the current file that begins at _offset_ and extends for _len_ bytes. If _len_ is 0, the region ends at the last byte of the file. By default, both _offset_ and _len_ are 0, meaning that the advice applies to the entire file. If an error occurs, one of the following exceptions will be raised: * <code>IOError</code> - The <code>IO</code> stream is closed. * <code>Errno::EBADF</code> - The file descriptor of the current file is invalid. * <code>Errno::EINVAL</code> - An invalid value for _advice_ was given. * <code>Errno::ESPIPE</code> - The file descriptor of the current * file refers to a FIFO or pipe. (Linux raises <code>Errno::EINVAL</code> * in this case). * <code>TypeError</code> - Either _advice_ was not a Symbol, or one of the other arguments was not an <code>Integer</code>. * <code>RangeError</code> - One of the arguments given was too big/small.
