class IO

This module provides most of the basic input and output functions of IO objects as implemented in Ruby version 1.8.6. Its use is supported on all versions of Ruby. See the general documentation of IO::Like for a description of how to create a class capable of using this module.

Include this module explicitly rather than IO::Like if the including class should always behave like Ruby 1.8.6 IO no matter what version of Ruby is running the class.
