This builds upon the top-level PStore
class provided by the library file pstore.rb. Session
data is marshalled and stored in a file. File
locking and transaction services are provided.

Create a new CGI::Session::PStore
instance
This constructor is used internally by CGI::Session
. The user does not generally need to call it directly.
session
is the session for which this instance is being created. The session id must only contain alphanumeric characters; automatically generated session ids observe this requirement.
option
is a hash of options for the initializer. The following options are recognised:
- tmpdir
-
the directory to use for storing the
PStore
file. Defaults toDir::tmpdir
(generally “/tmp” on Unix systems). - prefix
-
the prefix to add to the session id when generating the filename for this session’s
PStore
file. Defaults to the empty string.
This session’s PStore
file will be created if it does not exist, or opened if it does.
