close_write()
public
Closes the write end of a duplex I/O stream
(i.e., one that contains both a read and a write stream, such as a pipe). Will raise an IOError if the stream is not duplexed.
f = IO.popen("/bin/sh","r+")
f.close_write
f.print "nowhere"
produces:
prog.rb:3:in `write': not opened for writing (IOError)
from prog.rb:3:in `print'
from prog.rb:3
