Advertisements. Ruby provides a whole set of I/O-related methods implemented in the Kernel module. All the I/O methods are derived from the class IO. The class IO provides all the basic methods, such as read, write, gets, puts, readline, getc, and printf.
The value of __FILE__ is a relative path that is created and stored (but never updated) when your file is loaded. This means that if you have any calls to Dir.
In Ruby IO module documentation, I suppose.
