Sys

Sys provides a number of file manipulation tools for the convenience of writing Rakefiles. All commands in this module will announce their activity on standard output if the $verbose flag is set ($verbose = true is the default). You can control this by globally setting $verbose or by using the verbose and quiet methods.

Sys has been deprecated in favor of the FileUtils module available in Ruby 1.8.
