new(file, thread_safe = false)

public

To construct a PStore object, pass in the file path where you would like the data to be stored.

PStore objects are always reentrant. But if thread_safe is set to true, then it will become thread-safe at the cost of a minor performance hit.

# File lib/pstore.rb, line 122
  def initialize(file, thread_safe = false)
    dir = File::dirname(file)
    unless File::directory? dir
      raise PStore::Error, format("directory %s does not exist", dir)
    end
    if File::exist? file and not File::readable? file
      raise PStore::Error, format("file %s not readable", file)
    end
    @transaction = false
    @filename = file
    @abort = false
    @ultra_safe = false
    if @thread_safe
      @lock = Mutex.new
    else
      @lock = DummyMutex.new
    end
  end
