Feature #13696

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 7 years ago

renameat2(2) introduced in linux kernel 3.15 takes following flags. 

 ``` 
 RENAME_EXCHANGE: Atomically exchange oldpath and newpath. 

 RENAME_NOREPLACE: Don't overwrite newpath of the rename. Return an error if newpath already exists. 
 ``` 

 This change makes `File.rename` File.rename take these flags as keyword arguments. 

 Example: 

 ```ruby ``` 
 File.write("hoge", "hoge") 
 File.write("fuga", "fuga") 
 File.rename("hoge", "fuga", exchange: true) # atomically exchanged 
 File.read("fuga") #=> "hoge" 

 File.rename("hoge", "fuga", noreplace: true) #=> File exists @ syserr_fail2_in - fuga (Errno::EEXIST) 
 ```
