-# IO streams for strings, with access similar to [IO](rdoc-ref:IO); see
-# [IO](rdoc-ref:IO).
+# Class StringIO supports accessing a string as a stream,
+# similar in some ways to [class
+# IO](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/IO.html).
+# You can create a StringIO instance using:
+# *   StringIO.new: returns a new StringIO object containing the given string.
+# *   StringIO.open: passes a new StringIO object to the given block.
+# Like an IO stream, a StringIO stream has certain properties:
+# *   <strong>Read/write mode</strong>: whether the stream may be read, written,
+#     appended to, etc.;
+#      see [Read/Write Mode](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Read-2FWrite+Mode).
+# *   **Data mode**: text-only or binary;
+#      see [Data Mode](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Data+Mode).
+# *   **Encodings**: internal and external encodings;
+#      see [Encodings](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Encodings).
+# *   **Position**: where in the stream the next read or write is to occur;
+#      see [Position](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Position).
+# *   **Line number**: a special, line-oriented, "position" (different from the
+#     position mentioned above);
+#      see [Line Number](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Line+Number).
+# *   <strong>Open/closed</strong>: whether the stream is open or closed, for
+#     reading or writing.
+#      see [Open/Closed Streams](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Open-2FClosed+Streams).
+# *   **BOM**: byte mark order;
+#      see [Byte Order Mark](rdoc-ref:StringIO@BOM+-28Byte+Order+Mark-29).

+# strio.pos = 400
+# strio.gets(3) # => nil
+#
+# ### Data Mode
+# To specify whether the stream is to be treated as text or as binary data,
+# either of the following may be suffixed to any of the string read/write modes
+# above:
+# *   <code>'t'</code>: Text;
+#      initializes the encoding as Encoding::UTF_8.
+# *   <code>'b'</code>: Binary;
+#      initializes the encoding as Encoding::ASCII_8BIT.
+# If neither is given, the stream defaults to text data.
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new('foo', 'rt')
+# strio.external_encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+# data = "\u9990\u9991\u9992\u9993\u9994"
+# strio = StringIO.new(data, 'rb')
+# strio.external_encoding # => #<Encoding:BINARY (ASCII-8BIT)>
+#
+# When the data mode is specified, the read/write mode may not be omitted:
+#     StringIO.new(data, 'b')  # Raises ArgumentError: invalid access mode b
+#
+# A text stream may be changed to binary by calling instance method #binmode;
+# a binary stream may not be changed to text.
+# ### Encodings
+# A stream has an encoding; see
+# [Encodings](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/language/encodings_rdoc.html)
+# .
+# The initial encoding for a new or re-opened stream depends on its [data
+# mode](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Data+Mode):
+# *   Text: <code>Encoding::UTF_8</code>.
+# *   Binary: <code>Encoding::ASCII_8BIT</code>.
+# These instance methods are relevant:
+# *   #external_encoding: returns the current encoding of the stream as an
+#     `Encoding` object.
+# *   #internal_encoding: returns +nil+; a stream does not have an internal
+#     encoding.
+# *   #set_encoding: sets the encoding for the stream.
+# *   #set_encoding_by_bom: sets the encoding for the stream to the stream's BOM
+#     (byte order mark).
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new('foo', 'rt')  # Text mode.
+# strio.external_encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+# data = "\u9990\u9991\u9992\u9993\u9994"
+# strio = StringIO.new(data, 'rb') # Binary mode.
+# strio.external_encoding # => #<Encoding:BINARY (ASCII-8BIT)>
+# strio = StringIO.new('foo')
+# strio.external_encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+# strio.set_encoding('US-ASCII')
+# strio.external_encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
+#
+# ### Position
+# A stream has a *position*, and integer offset (in bytes) into the stream.
+# The initial position of a stream is zero.
+# #### Getting and Setting the Position
+# Each of these methods initializes (to zero) the position of a new or re-opened
+# stream:
+# *   ::new: returns a new stream.
+# *   ::open: passes a new stream to the block.
+# *   #reopen: re-initializes the stream.
+# Each of these methods queries, gets, or sets the position, without otherwise
+# changing the stream:
+# *   #eof?: returns whether the position is at end-of-stream.
+# *   #pos: returns the position.
+# *   #pos=: sets the position.
+# *   #rewind: sets the position to zero.
+# *   #seek: sets the position.
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new('foobar')
+# strio.pos  # => 0
+# strio.pos = 3
+# strio.pos  # => 3
+# strio.eof? # => false
+# strio.rewind
+# strio.pos  # => 0
+# strio.seek(0, IO::SEEK_END)
+# strio.pos  # => 6
+# strio.eof? # => true
+#
+# #### Position Before and After Reading
+# Except for #pread, a stream reading method (see [Basic
+# Reading](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Basic+Reading))
+# begins reading at the current position.
+# Except for #pread, a read method advances the position past the read
+# substring.
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new(TEXT)
+# strio.string # => "First line\nSecond line\n\nFourth line\nFifth line\n"
+# strio.pos    # => 0
+# strio.getc   # => "F"
+# strio.pos    # => 1
+# strio.gets   # => "irst line\n"
+# strio.pos    # => 11
+# strio.pos = 24
+# strio.gets   # => "Fourth line\n"
+# strio.pos    # => 36
+#
+# strio = StringIO.new('тест') # Four 2-byte characters.
+# strio.pos = 0 # At first byte of first character.
+# strio.read    # => "тест"
+# strio.pos = 1 # At second byte of first character.
+# strio.read    # => "\x82ест"
+# strio.pos = 2 # At first of second character.
+# strio.read    # => "ест"
+#
+# strio = StringIO.new(TEXT)
+# strio.pos = 15
+# a = []
+# strio.each_line {|line| a.push(line) }
+# a         # => ["nd line\n", "\n", "Fourth line\n", "Fifth line\n"]
+# strio.pos # => 47  ## End-of-stream.
+#
+# #### Position Before and After Writing
+# Each of these methods begins writing at the current position,
+# and advances the position to the end of the written substring:
+# *   #putc: writes the given character.
+# *   #write: writes the given objects as strings.
+# *   [Kernel#puts](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Kernel.html#method-i-pu
+#     ts): writes given objects as strings, each followed by newline.
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new('foo')
+# strio.pos    # => 0
+# strio.putc('b')
+# strio.string # => "boo"
+# strio.pos    # => 1
+# strio.write('r')
+# strio.string # => "bro"
+# strio.pos    # => 2
+# strio.puts('ew')
+# strio.string # => "brew\n"
+# strio.pos    # => 5
+# strio.pos = 8
+# strio.write('foo')
+# strio.string # => "brew\n\u0000\u0000\u0000foo"
+# strio.pos    # => 11
+#
+# Each of these methods writes *before* the current position, and decrements the
+# position
+# so that the written data is next to be read:
+# *   #ungetbyte: unshifts the given byte.
+# *   #ungetc: unshifts the given character.
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new('foo')
+# strio.pos = 2
+# strio.ungetc('x')
+# strio.pos    # => 1
+# strio.string # => "fxo"
+# strio.ungetc('x')
+# strio.pos    # => 0
+# strio.string # => "xxo"
+#
+# This method does not affect the position:
+# *   #truncate: truncates the stream's string to the given size.
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new('foobar')
+# strio.pos    # => 0
+# strio.truncate(3)
+# strio.string # => "foo"
+# strio.pos    # => 0
+# strio.pos = 500
+# strio.truncate(0)
+# strio.string # => ""
+# strio.pos    # => 500
+#
+# ### Line Number
+# A stream has a line number, which initially is zero:
+# *   Method #lineno returns the line number.
+# *   Method #lineno= sets the line number.
+# The line number can be affected by reading (but never by writing);
+# in general, the line number is incremented each time the record separator
+# (default: <code>"\n"</code>) is read.
+# Examples:
+#     strio = StringIO.new(TEXT)
+# strio.string # => "First line\nSecond line\n\nFourth line\nFifth line\n"
+# strio.lineno # => 0
+# strio.gets   # => "First line\n"
+# strio.lineno # => 1
+# strio.getc   # => "S"
+# strio.lineno # => 1
+# strio.gets   # => "econd line\n"
+# strio.lineno # => 2
+# strio.gets   # => "\n"
+# strio.lineno # => 3
+# strio.gets   # => "Fourth line\n"
+# strio.lineno # => 4
+#
+# Setting the position does not affect the line number:
+#     strio.pos = 0
+# strio.lineno # => 4
+# strio.gets   # => "First line\n"
+# strio.pos    # => 11
+# strio.lineno # => 5
+#
+# And setting the line number does not affect the position:
+#     strio.lineno = 10
+# strio.pos    # => 11
+# strio.gets   # => "Second line\n"
+# strio.lineno # => 11
+# strio.pos    # => 23
+#
+# ### Open/Closed Streams
+# A new stream is open for either reading or writing, and may be open for both;
+# see [Read/Write Mode](rdoc-ref:StringIO@Read-2FWrite+Mode).
+# Each of these methods initializes the read/write mode for a new or re-opened
+# stream:
+# *   ::new: returns a new stream.
+# *   ::open: passes a new stream to the block.
+# *   #reopen: re-initializes the stream.
+# Other relevant methods:
+# *   #close: closes the stream for both reading and writing.
+# *   #close_read: closes the stream for reading.
+# *   #close_write: closes the stream for writing.
+# *   #closed?: returns whether the stream is closed for both reading and
+#     writing.
+# *   #closed_read?: returns whether the stream is closed for reading.
+# *   #closed_write?: returns whether the stream is closed for writing.
+# ### BOM (Byte Order Mark)
+# The string provided for ::new, ::open, or #reopen
+# may contain an optional [BOM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark)
+# (byte order mark) at the beginning of the string;
+# the BOM can affect the stream's encoding.
+# The BOM (if provided):
+# *   Is stored as part of the stream's string.
+# *   Does *not* immediately affect the encoding.
+# *   Is *initially* considered part of the stream.
+#     utf8_bom = "\xEF\xBB\xBF"
+# string = utf8_bom + 'foo'
+# string.bytes               # => [239, 187, 191, 102, 111, 111]
+# strio.string.bytes.take(3) # => [239, 187, 191]                  # The BOM.
+# strio = StringIO.new(string, 'rb')
+# strio.string.bytes         # => [239, 187, 191, 102, 111, 111]   # BOM is part of the stored string.
+# strio.external_encoding    # => #<Encoding:BINARY (ASCII-8BIT)>  # Default for a binary stream.
+# strio.gets                 # => "\xEF\xBB\xBFfoo"                # BOM is part of the stream.
+#
+# You can call instance method #set_encoding_by_bom to "activate" the stored
+# BOM;
+# after doing so the BOM:
+# *   Is *still* stored as part of the stream's string.
+# *   *Determines* (and may have changed) the stream's encoding.
+# *   Is *no longer* considered part of the stream.
+#     strio.set_encoding_by_bom
+# strio.string.bytes      # => [239, 187, 191, 102, 111, 111]  # BOM is still part of the stored string.
+# strio.external_encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>               # The new encoding.
+# strio.rewind            # => 0
+# strio.gets              # => "foo"                           # BOM is not part of the stream.
+#
+# ## Basic Stream IO
+# ### Basic Reading
+# You can read from the stream using these instance methods:
+# *   #getbyte: reads and returns the next byte.
+# *   #getc: reads and returns the next character.
+# *   #gets: reads and returns all or part of the next line.
+# *   #read: reads and returns all or part of the remaining data in the stream.
+# *   #readlines: reads the remaining data the stream and returns an array of
+#     its lines.
+# *   [Kernel#readline](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Kernel.html#method-
+#     i-readline): like #gets, but raises an exception if at end-of-stream.
+# You can iterate over the stream using these instance methods:
+# *   #each_byte: reads each remaining byte, passing it to the block.
+# *   #each_char: reads each remaining character, passing it to the block.
+# *   #each_codepoint: reads each remaining codepoint, passing it to the block.
+# *   #each_line: reads all or part of each remaining line, passing the read
+#     string to the block
+# This instance method is useful in a multi-threaded application:
+# *   #pread: reads and returns all or part of the stream.
+# ### Basic Writing
+# You can write to the stream, advancing the position, using these instance
+# methods:
+# *   #putc: writes a given character.
+# *   #write: writes the given objects as strings.
+# *   [Kernel#puts](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Kernel.html#method-i-pu
+#     ts) writes given objects as strings, each followed by newline.
+# You can "unshift" to the stream using these instance methods;
+# each writes *before* the current position, and decrements the position
+# so that the written data is next to be read.
+# *   #ungetbyte: unshifts the given byte.
+# *   #ungetc: unshifts the given character.
+# One more writing method:
+# *   #truncate: truncates the stream's string to the given size.
+# ## Line IO
+# Reading:
+# *   #gets: reads and returns the next line.
+# *   [Kernel#readline](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Kernel.html#method-
+#     i-readline): like #gets, but raises an exception if at end-of-stream.
+# *   #readlines: reads the remaining data the stream and returns an array of
+#     its lines.
+# *   #each_line: reads each remaining line, passing it to the block
+# Writing:
+# *   [Kernel#puts](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Kernel.html#method-i-pu
+#     ts): writes given objects, each followed by newline.
+# ## Character IO
+# Reading:
+# *   #each_char: reads each remaining character, passing it to the block.
+# *   #getc: reads and returns the next character.
+# Writing:
+# *   #putc: writes the given character.

+# ## Byte IO
+# Reading:
+# *   #each_byte: reads each remaining byte, passing it to the block.
