Method: Fifo#gets

Defined in:
lib/ruby-fifo/fifo.rb

#gets ⇒ Object

Reads from the Fifo until it encounters a new line. Will block the current thread of execution until it hits a new line. This includes when the fifo is empty and nothing is writing to it.

Example:

w = Fifo.new('path/to/fifo', :w)
r = Fifo.new('path/to/fifo', :r)

w.puts "Hello, world!"
r.gets
#=> "Hello, world!\n"
