    tmpfile.close
    system("#{editor} #{tmpfile.path.shellescape}") ? IO.read(tmpfile.path) : nil
  ensure
    tmpfile.unlink
  end
end

.available_editor(preferred = nil) ⇒ Object

Find an editor available in path. Optionally supply the preferred editor. Returns the name as a string, nil if none is available.

.converse(prompt, responses = {}) ⇒ Object

when :cookies 
  speak 'o.m.g. you are awesome!'
else
  case converse 'That is lame, shall I convince you cookies are the best?', :yes => 'Ok', :no => 'No', :maybe => 'Maybe another time'
  when :yes
    speak 'Well you see, cookies are just fantastic.'
  else

  # Kernel.fork is not supported on all platforms and configurations.
  # As of Ruby 1.9, `Process.respond_to? :fork` should return false on
  # configurations that don't support it, but versions before 1.9 don't
  # seem to do this reliably and instead raise a NotImplementedError
  # (which is rescued below).

.io(input = nil, output = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Normalize IO streams, allowing for redirection of input and/or output, for example:

$ foo              # => read from terminal I/O
$ foo in           # => read from 'in' file, output to terminal output stream
$ foo in out       # => read from 'in' file, output to 'out' file
$ foo < in > out   # => equivalent to above (essentially)

Optionally a block may be supplied, in which case IO will be reset once the block has executed.

Examples

command :foo do |c|
  c.syntax = 'foo [input] [output]'
  c.when_called do |args, options|
    # or io(args.shift, args.shift)
    io *args
    str = $stdin.gets
    puts 'input was: ' + str.inspect
  end

  $stdout = File.new(output, 'r+') if output
  if block
    yield
    reset_io
  end
end

.log(action, *args) ⇒ Object

‘Log’ an action to the terminal. This is typically used for verbose output regarding actions performed. For example:

  pass = password message, mask if pass.nil? || pass.empty?
  pass
end

.progress(arr, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object
