Feature #19036: Provide a way to set path for File instances created with for_fd
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19036#change-100393
* Author: headius (Charles Nutter)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Ruby provides `IO.for_fd` to instantiate an IO object from an existing file descriptor value. The logic for this simply calls the base `IO.new` logic, which for all IO and subtypes simply wraps the given file descriptor.
When called against File, or other subtypes of IO, this has the side effect of creating an IO instance with that type, e.g. `File.for_fd` will behave identically to `IO.for_fd` except that the class of the resulting object will be File.
Unfortunately, this results in a File object that does not have any `path` associated with it:
```
3.1.2 :001 > f = File.open('README.md')
=> #<File:README.md>
3.1.2 :002 > f.path
=> "README.md"
3.1.2 :003 > f2 = File.for_fd(f.fileno)
=> #<File:fd 5>
3.1.2 :004 > f2.path
(irb):4:in `path': File is unnamed (TMPFILE?) (IOError)
from (irb):4:in `<main>'
from /home/headius/.rvm/rubies/ruby-3.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/irb-1.4.1/exe/irb:11:in `<top (required)>'
from /home/headius/.rvm/rubies/ruby-3.1.2/bin/irb:25:in `load'
from /home/headius/.rvm/rubies/ruby-3.1.2/bin/irb:25:in `<main>'
```
I propose that there should be a way, via an extra parameter or a keyword argument, to provide a path when constructing a new File via `for_fd`.
Possible forms:
* `File.for_fd(fileno, "my/path")`
* `File.for_fd(fileno, path: "my/path")`
This would necessitate a separate implementation for `File.for_fd` unless we want to make it possible to set a path for all `for_fd` calls (which may not make sense for many of them).
This came up while trying to implement a pure-Ruby (plus FFI) version of the "pty" library. Without overriding the `path` function, it is not possible for the File object returned by `PTY.open` to gain the "masterpty:<slavename>" filename, and therefore it does not clearly indicate it is from a PTY.
See https://github.com/jruby/jruby/pull/7391, an attempt to match inspect output for these return values using `define_singleton_method`. Providing a way to set the path would make this automatic without the singleton definition.
