file-uri – the "file" URI scheme

Adds explicit handling for 'file' URIs to the uri library.

Example

require 'uri'
require 'file-uri'

uri = URI.parse("file:///path/to/file.txt")
#=> #<URI::CoreFile file:/path/to/file.txt>

Also includes a Windows-specific version, which has extra handling for
drive letters at the start of paths.

require 'uri'
require 'file-uri/win'

uri = URI.parse("file:c:/windows/path.txt")
#=> #<URI::WinFile file:/c:/windows/path.txt>

uri + "/absolute/path.txt"
#=> #<URI::WinFile file:/c:/absolute/path.txt>

URI::File

local?( localhost: true )

Returns true if this file URI is local.

The localhost parameter instructs the library how to interpret
special values in the host field, to retain compatibility with various
other libraries and programs out there:

URI	:any	true	false
"file://localhost/"	local	local	non-local
"file://example.com/"	local	non-local	non-local

to_unc( localhost: true )

Returns a UNC filespace selector string for this file URI.

Raises a RuntimeError if this is a local URI (see #local?)

to_file_path( localhost: true )

Returns a file path for this file URI.

Raises a RuntimeError if this is not a local URI (see #local?)

open( [mode [, perm]] [, opt]) → io or nil

open( [mode [, perm]] [, opt]) {|io| block } → obj

Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct

Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our
project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone,
regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity
and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance,
race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive
environment include:

• Using welcoming and inclusive language
• Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
• Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
• Focusing on what is best for the community
• Showing empathy towards other community members

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

• The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
• Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
• Public or private harassment
• Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
• Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Our Responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of
acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair
corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit,
or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other
contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban
temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they
deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public
spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community.
Examples of representing a project or community include using an
official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media
account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or
offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and
clarified by project maintainers.

Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may
be reported by contacting the project team at matthew@kerwin.net.au.
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a
response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances.
The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to
the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement
policies may be posted separately.

Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in
good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined
by other members of the project's leadership.
